Mohammed Dakdouk Music Video On Car Racing And Death

Mohammed Dakdouk looks like a guy who likes sports and likes a god song. He is starting his career and really wants people to tune in. A good song is nothing if it does not catch the attention of people. So for his music video he told a true story that happened in 2001. One minute you are young and unstoppable, the second you are gone and the ambulance is trying to rescue you from some acts that can be later viewed as stupid.

I do not like the talk in the cellphone as one sings--talking in your cellphone implies you are busy. If you are busy drop the filming until you are done. It's not cool anymore. It's a good song it might register with some people out there who like the singer from his days at the Star Academy season 8. The singer also wrote and composed the music

Dakdouk likes cars and he seems to be talking to them as he has missed his loved one who is now gone. I have never got into the racing business. Fast cars do not seem sexy to me, I know many in Saudi Arabia are now dealing with deaths due to accidents and racing activities that young people organizes underground.

DOWNLOAD: Metro Pop By Amr 60 In His Debut Album البوم عمرو 60 - مسافر

Amr has been on my radar for a month now and he has done a wonderful job in dazzling me and his new fans. The metro looking clean cut pop singer is really out there to get a slice of the pop pie. I compere his music to that of Hamaki...happy poo that plays like a club mix that gets excited even if the song is not that happy.

A romance pop is common--guys like to jump to the music and those young ladies like some fancy dreamy lyrics from a good looking guy. His album has been released and the new is eyeing it with a high level of anticipation. The 10 tracks album is making a worthy buzz among the people who are looking for new music.

Sherif Abd El Mon'em Living With HIS Mercy This Ramadan

Egyptians are expected to record and released Ramadan songs, they almost have exclusive rights on those songs, with the exception of Wael Jassar do not take interest in doing such songs. So the month is a good time for new singers to release supplication tracks where they can showcase their talent and their vocal ability.

Just like Sherif Abd El Mon'em who released a one and a half track just few days ago. A track about mercy and making it with the love of God and being content what he has endowed us with--and what he has not.

Sherif has the voice to make a singer, the marketing has to work out for him to be able to make another song that would be heard around town.

DOWNLOAD: Nesma Mahgoub 2012 Classy Album البوم نسمه محجوب - هتقولى ايه

In her cover picture for the album, the young and and talented Egyptian singer Nesma Mahgoub is channeling the legendary diva Asmahan. That tells me more about how the young singer views herself as an artists who can deliver you some really fine songs with her strong voice.

I like Nesma she sounds like one of those opera singers who can rock your world with their really loud voices which they manipulate so well. 12 tracks is what makes the new album, it is Tarab album all around. Classical music has finally found a young gun of Arabic music who really believes in it and want to bring it back in style.

The album is not meant for everyone out there, it's for the grownups among us, the songs are for the mature listener seeking a new thrill in music....it plays like a conversation between Nesma and her listeners. In a way this feels like reading someone else's journal telling us about their life and how they reacted to certain situations.

I am glad the producers have chosen to find this project, the album does something different with Arabic music. Nesma is seeking neither popularity nor cool, her album reminds us of how unique Arabic music once was. So there you have it grow up and believe in the power of dreams again, this album will have a positive and an uplifting affect on your soul. Hope at last.

LISTEN: Amr 60 2012 Album Dance And Romance

Pop artists tend to use an interesting strategy over and over again. Bring out a new star,  build his brand up with a young fan base, he will cater to them....these fans grow up, make money and remember their star who was there for them when they were young poor and stupid.

Amr 60 released a pop single two weeks ago, and now comes the promo for his album, he has combined his music promo with his photo shoot--some crisp shots indeed. He does romance songs and light pop songs that will appeal to the easy fan with not too many options or musical experiences. I call them the virgin ears.  I like the promo and I like the beach even more.

It seems that Amr 60 is doing something right, he has already made a buzz online. Why not and he enjoys a great deal of those famous Egyptian look and that jaw. He has a sweet voice, but I think he can do even better, he is listening to his sound engineer too much. Set Amr 60 free....and you will be surprised.

I think the album will sell even though it is not being released on a holiday.

Adham Wagdy Not The Greatest But Convincing

Last year Adham Wagdy voiced a song for the revolution and the Arab Spring, on the collection album produced by Hamid El Shari under the title "An Arab Tale" Ever since then and I have not seen nor heard again from Adham Wagdy.

But he is back with a Ramadan song, few days before the end of the month, the song was picked by Melody Hits and it currently airs. The song is about the rituals of the month and you get a free tour of those popular Ramadan attractions.

I think Adham has a good voice, not a great one....that means I do not feel it's strong enough, so it sounds like Adham is stuck in the nasal area. Plus, I failed to find much info on Adham--Adham if you are readying try to reclaim your name on the net.

Are You Ready For The Wonderful Engy Nahas? تحميل اغنية انجي النحاس

The folks who live on the internet are crazy about this new talent, they have already predicted a rosy future for her and they have dubbed her voices the greatest. They compare her to the likes of Asala and Elissa, but certainly she is Engy El Nahas and not someone else.

Just look at the videos for her debut song, she has the viewership to prove it to you, she can deliver a decent song, she hails from the land of Egypt and has manged to get Mohammed Rahim to compose her songs for her, which is easy when you have the kind of talent and emotional depth Engy is able to pull.

I am impressed and glad to share this track with you...I think we better know the name and the breakout song, she is gonna be around for as long as she chooses to.

Watch London Olympics Egypt Theme Song

The London Olympics are upon us this summer, while the event is mostly for sports and marketing, music has its place--there's always place for music it seems. So for the Egypt  athletes competing for the Gold, Silver and such, they can boast about a new song that speaks to them....about not letting anything stop them from reaching for the gold

Nisma Mahjoub is the voice, naturally one needs an upbeat song for this topic and in that regard, the song delivers the energy. The music video features a number of Egypt's brightest athletes doing their thing. This song serves Nisma well as she gives us a glimpse of a stronger voice of hers that can hold a breath like a seasoned diver tries to.

The song is not exclusive to Egypt, all Arabs can relate to it and use it to pump them up. The song might as well double as a promo song for those beverage companies.

Nagwan Shines A Light On "Agaby" by Salah Jahin

Ramadan is a magical time, especially at night. Now, Ramadan is almost over, the the music networks are getting ready to go back to their "wicked" ways of attracting viewers with sex and lies. But since the month is not over yet, they have released a non Ramadan song. The song lyrics were written by the popular Egyptian literary figure Salah Jaheen  

A gal with the name Nagwan picked them up for her song. I love the style of this song, it appeals to a lot of people who are grownup listeners in search of sobering music. You cannot hate the lute (oud) here, it delivers what you need it to do.

Plus the singer got the right temperament for this song. I love the minimalist music and the band accompanying the songstress. Aside from that little is know about Nagwan's career. This might be her big moment in the spotlight.

Palestinian Rapper Puts The Spotlight Back On Gaza

Mc Gaza is a gifted young rapper from Gaza with fans all across the Palestinian land and Egypt. The young rapper fills in the void for local rappers who are also well versed in politics and most importantly, the various rapping styles.

I like the way he flies from one note to another, and how he spits one line after another with a speed worthy of the great boxer Mohammad Ali himself. I know there have been a number of attempts at making rap a cool thing in Palestine, but I believe Mc Gaza might mange to do just that at home. He will do this, but not overdressing in those rapper like outfits, and making funny shapes....he has gone for the normal all Palestinian look and chose to rap about things at home and not some controversial topic.

And for his music video he turns himself into an activist and brings rare images for Gaza showing that no matter what life always goes on. His energy and the energy of young talents communicate that so well.

Humam Iraqi Young Gun Of Pop - "Shawkt Alagek"

Humam first studied music in Iraq music institute. Then he joined a folklore group there too, then joined another one and toured representing Iraqi folklore all over the map. And when he wanted to be himself, he took part of a talent content show in Lebanon "Star Club", he one the first spot.

Then Rotana picked up him for a contract and he has been recording under their label. He filmed one music video, then another all in Lebanese which brought him more name recognition, then he did a song for Iraq. He released two albums so far and works on his music by releasing singles. His composer of choice is another young Iraqi Walid Al Chami who is considered one of the top Iraqi composers and music producers.

I like Iraqi music, the passion is done right, and their lyrics have the beauty and poetry of the Gulf and the accessibility of Lebanese and Egyptian songs. Humam walks a fine line and do a great job.

With Reham Helmy, Egyptian Pop Keeps Trying

Good pop songs are not easy to make, a decent pop song has to be happy with upbeat music and clever and catchy lyrics. Throwaway pop ain't hard to make, just ask Egyptian pop star Reham Helmy, the new fame of girly pop. Reham has made a song for the ladies and girls out there, they would relate to it and better understand it.

Guys do not have much emotions or at least try not to understand things women talk about. For those, here's the song by Rehamd Helmy to give them a taste of what goes inside the mind of one girl. She just made a not so whiny song, that heart and a fine music. Vocally, I think Reham can do better as she is not letting herself break free in that department.

The Good Son: Ahmed El Haggar To Release A Debut Album

Like father like son is creeping into the music business now. Ahmed El Haggar is the son of celebrated and iconic Egyptian singer Ali El Haggar just singed a contract to work with a new music label. They will release his debut album. I have known about Ahmed singing more than 2 years ago when I saw him in a performance alongside his old man

Ahmed performed with his father on a number of occasions and he seemed to make waves where he goes. He can sing really well and has a different set of vocals that can hold a note. Ahmed who has his fathers look, has also taken the singing talent form his father who has helped shape Egyptian culture.

The company sate with him for an interview, and they just have posted few of his songs performed live by the young singer and a lute player. I can say that the guy knows how to impress, his choice of songs is the kind that salons used to play, the deep East bound music that requires a serious listener. This is a good start, but ultimately, pop lords will have the singer knocking.

One More Shitty Egyptian Song Won't Hurt

I do not know who Amgad Omar is, but other than his name, I think he mostly sucks. Neither his voice nor his personality entertain. So why bother and release a music video that feels a lot like torture? While I like pop music, there has to be a threshold singers ought to have. 

Amgad got nothing and his song disappoints. But to be disappointed in hims is not accurate. Because it implies that one had high expectations for the young star, when we really did not. Now the guy is young, good looking and can dance, so I would say modeling/ adverting maybe?

I am not the one to hate--only if you are Tamer Hosny, but this one was just a terrible song all around.

Sabine Attallah And 7 Tracks "Wainak" Album

The Gods of pop have not been too kind in 2011 and certainly they have no been kinder in 2012. With that in mind, a cool cat of Lebanese pop came form Lebanon with an album of seven tracks. The songs comes in Lebanese dialect, Egyptian and Gulf too. Composers from Lebanon and Jordan have collaborated on this album which will be soon made available in all Arab countries and Sabine will be going to sing your very own copy.

I think this would go down as an exciting first album for a singer who seems to know her way around a catch Lebanese beat. This does look like a well made album and each song on it seems hand picked for Sabine who manged to make them gems. I wish the album luck and the young singer fame and fortune.

01 Wainak, dance away to this delightful Lebanese beat, a winner
02 Aam Sally, a sweet song that will make Sabine a favorite for even more new fans
03 Ma Byalbalk, another Lebanese song with a very refreshing cool melody and lyrics
04 Kaeny Enta Aam Tesalni, a great dance song with super sweet performance from a sentimental Sabine who puts it all together.
05 Maa El Salamah, an average song meant for the Gulf market, it lacks heart and soul. Made for $$
06 Amali Tayeb, Egyptians will cheer this one, its Spanish guitar paired with Sabine's voice please.
07 Ouyoni Betaashak, a different song, not sure if it will stick around like the other ones, but it's a bit melodramatic.

Pyramedia: Seham Omar - Ezzay Ya'ny / سهام عمر - إزاي يعني

Pyramedia produces music in Egypt, but it seems to be only working with new comers to the game. Freshman stars enjoy working with Pyramedia that takes a chance on them. But if those make it big, I do not think they sit around and stick with Pyramedia. This might be a good business model as the stars tend to be inexpensive when they are new, but once they hit the big times, they want more.

So that's why we get to hear and see singers like Sehma Omar who has a new music video out. This teen singer who seems to like to do what other teens do is dancing and singing for your entertainment. This clip is taken form all other teen shows, something that seems natural to Seham, cars, kittens, boxing, gym...etc.

The song has turned into a fashion show, I could count at least seven outfits. This song might be a great hit with the youth., I found parts of it to be Yawn-worthy.

Ahmed Shady On That Beautiful Freedom

Ahmed Shady is celebrating the breeze of freedom in Egypt today. His song is all about freedom, the positive kind, the post death and chaos freedom. He is a young up and coming talent. I am completely in love with the gorgeous images his music videos open up with. I am serious whose are amazing shots of Egyptian places that are breath taking.

 I think, I am a fan of this new singer, his voice expresses the lyrics of his songs and brings out the power of imagery. There's a shot with two young boys standing and behind them the Palestinian flag, then an image goes to Southern Egypt where a sailor notices he is on camera and smiles. The song is for Egypt, but the message is far more reaching than that-it's a pan Arab song where freedom is our destination.

Not to forget that Ahmed also composed the lovely music you hear.

The Borke Ass Arab Song By Samy Shamsy

To be poor is not something bad, to be broke might be. However, we all love a someone who is doing a song about being broke. I especially love Samy Shamsy because his song goes against all things pop. While most pop singers boast about the cool life and the clubs, he is doing the anti-pop song song. A song about his miserable finances.

He calls is chronicle poverty. Kicking off song with a solid mawal performance. Then he asks God for relief. This is a new single that will make it big with high school kids. I love the story where the girl he loves is going to get married to her cousin, since he has no money. Then he delivered the funny line, "had I had money, I would have even been able to marry her mom"

Sara Adel From K Music Comes The Good Stuff

When you are young, you like what young people like. But in Egypt the young people are into politics and activism, so you do that now. Sara, Adel released one of those super mature songs on behalf of Egypt. The song that made it by for Sara is Ana Masrya....I am Egyptian but that was some time ago.

Sara followed her hit song with a new song also for the homeland, the song is about the fears of many Egyptians have at the moment. The honeydew sweet voice--I detect a bit of Assalah style- delivers this song with a broken heart. It's a prayer asking for the difficulty to pass and how much she loves Egypt.

This is an assuring song from apolitical voice who puts Egypt ahead of all. K music did well by signing up Sara Adel to their label.

Menaem Sings For The Egyptian Quarter

One Egyptian pound is not a lot of money, and they often fly from my hand when I visit that country. But for one singer, and one resident in that country's pockets a quarter of one Egyptian pound can make all the difference. It's an OK tipping amount! But one guy is fed up of it as he travels the streets and plays music.

Apparently it's no longer enough. So Menaem wrote a song about it where he dances in the streets dressed like a million dollar. His like, Can somebody tells me why did they put a hole in the quarter? Funny really, and the beat is a 100 percent Egyptian. It's the song to which the dudes dance and be all cool and manly.

The Egyptian quarter used to be paper money, now no more. If you want a random song that reminds you of all the bizarre Egyptian humor, play this one.
