Tamer Hosny Shrinking Fans Celebrate His Fake Wedding With A Song

While the news has not been officially confirmed, fans of the Egyptian pop star have released a song to celebrate the unconfirmed rumors of his wedding to Bassma Boussil. It's a karaoke song that uses some lines from a Tamer Hosny song...has it ever happen to you

The voice behind this song is Ahmed Gamal--a nobody who is cheering his idol one. The song called on Tamer and Bassma it references their names and how they have manged to score one another. The topic aside this is a catchy beat, simple but catchy ringtone.

Will Tamer have the backbone to come out in public and say the words that he has gotten married? Is it cool for your fans to call your wife "Bint al eeh"? "Daughter of A Gun" Like you have used the line before too many times.

LISTEN: Rania Ahmed, The Coolest Songstress New Single

At First she released a really happy song that rocked my summer...thanks to music from Tamer Ashour. But Rania delivered a knockout song with much energy and excitement to move a mountain. I loved her song and blogged about it for everyone to read. Rania might be the most promising voice from Egypt in a really long time. She has the image, the personality and better yet the voice to stand the test of time.

And now comes her followup hit, it's a darker one that Rania delivered with heart and soul. The song is about reaching a dead end and the relationship now is over with. Then comes the pain and the analyzing portion of this dark journey. Rania lets all her emotion hang for her latest, and they show throughout the song. I like the sobering music and the sweet yet dark feel the song has.

The song is a produce of an A team--Tamer Ashour composed the music, Aser did the arrangements Nadir Abdallah wrote the lyrics--he wrote too many romantic songs including for Elissa. Wonder boy of sound engineering Hany Mahrous treated the song.

Aside From Her Fake Egyptian Accent, Mais Hamdan Is Cool

Mais Hamdan is a funny gal who does a great job hosting a number of shows in Egyptian TV. She has moved over to acting, and she seems to have song alright in that. But I never thought she should be singing, I do not like her performance and I think her vocals are not that strong.

Having said that, there's a sweet hint in her voice, so it's not all bad. Checkout her new single song, a song she recorded for a show where she is also starring. A drama about living in upper Egypt in the country side. Mais does a very fine job in impersonating singer, she has even upset some of them

Mais grew up in Jordan, so for her to try to speak with an Egyptian accent is a bit laughable. She has offended Egyptians few Ramadans ago when she told a joke that pissed off some people. Anyhow she is still in business as you can tell by this song. Mais will also appear not in one TV dramas, but in three this Ramadan.

Mohammed Adwia Crafts A Good vs. Bad Song

Ramadan TV shows and dramas try to claim viewers by hiring the best stars and the best scrip writers in the show business, but that is not enough sometimes. that does not cut it. So they tr yo squeeze extra air time by hiring a singer who might talk about his work and might even invite his fans to tune in.

I have not heard about this show, which is titled "A Third Party", it looks like an action packed film with a lot  of young names. IT seems they have filmed in Europe, it seems that 9 out of 10 crews now go to Europe for shooting--a free vacation anybody?

This is a gangsta drama with a lot of people being beaten up, a tale of poor people who end up doing bad things and choosing the gangster route. The song by Mohammed Adwia seems to summarized the entire show. Adwia wrote and composed the song.

I like the song, but the lyrics seem to have been just recorded for another movie that tackles the same subject. AlAlmany. Ahmed Saad sang them.

"I'M Waiting" Nader Guirat Deserves The Wait

The year was 2008 when a young Tunisian man walked into the set of Star Academy season five and people let him into their homes. Nader did duet songs with just about all the stars one loves including Cheb Khaled,  Karl Wolf, Massari, Ahmed Al-Sherif. Nader left the show with a lot more experience and a bigger fan base that wanted to see more of the young artist.

This multi talented singer who has performed in English, French, Italian, Spanish and Arabic. Through the song below, one can track Nader's musical influence--Pop, Rock, Acoustic, Alternative, Metal, Classical Music, Oriental Music and Comédie Musicale.

And impressive turn in Nader's career is his collaboration with the with music arranger Michel Fadel and ‘The National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine’, where the song video was shot. ‘L’Ange Perdu’ received best song of the year award from Tunisian radio stations

Now few years later, he is back with a new single in English and with an American singer whose vocals are a perfect match for Nader's. Nader showcased his guitar skills to my amusement, the guy is no poser, he is the real deal. He does have a true crossover appeal, as his language and multi-talents will open doors for him, he shows a lot of energy for live and accosting performances.

This year, along with Dylan Lloyd , a fellow contestant in Crimea Music Fest, Nader released his most recent work “I’m Waiting”. A passionate song that shows another perspective of Nader’s promising music talent. And it doesn’t end there, this multi-cultural music talent still has a few projects up his sleeve His new album is due to drop soon, I know foe which I will be waiting.

“I’m Waiting” was written by Nader Guirat and his friend Dylan Lloyd, the song was mastered and mixed by another freind who likes this kind of hot music, Aymen El Guedri. This is a song two friends who like music and have a passion for good projects came up with. America's Dylan Lloyd featured in his ballad a new comer that goes by the name Nader Guirat who also co-wrote this track

So where do two musicians like this meet? Don't worry, they mean on something called the famous TV show in Ukraine called "Crimea Music Fest" last September 2011. I like this song, it sounds like what would a rock band working in a garage can produce.

عايش غريب - شذى حسون 2012 | Aish Garib - Shatha Hassoun

The music of India has played a big role in the local music scene in thew Gulf due to the long history of exchange between those two lands. That's what you get when he hera the latest single from Iraq's finest pop export Shatha Hassoun.

The music is composed by the busiest and most popular gulf music composer Fayez Al Said, he channeled some elements of Bollywood music. Hands down he is the best composer and most accomplished composer who crank up one fins song after another. He seems to really like working with Shatha who seems to have moved her operation to Dubai

A female poet composed the lyrics, and she did one heck of a job, she wrote all the things that guys often overlook. I am talking about the emotional stuff of course. Shatha chose the right song and the right time to release this single. Shatha is a music force not to be reckoned with, she is way smart and way more expediences than many of her peers. She makes good choices, sounds really good too and her fans would do anything for her.

Sherine Is "Overjoyed" In Her Post Divorce حصريا اغنية شيرين الجديدة طايره من الفرحه

Did Sherine just make the most emotional conflicting song to date? I am really overwhelmed with emotions. Let's look at the big picture, Sherine and her husband got a divorce few weeks ago, it was a private matter and so far they have manged to keep it private, so far the media did not prey on it

And now comes this new teaser song, form her upcoming album, the title is about being overjoyed with happiness but also having tears in one'e eye as they break up with someone they have loved at some point. I wish Sherine and her husband all the best. She has promised an album that she will finance and leave as her legacy to her kids. She broke with Rotana and has no kind words for them--she feels neglected among the ranks.

I have yet to hear another Arabic song that blends such conflicting emotions so well, Sherine sounds really sad as she sings the lines, she seems to have taken them personally. She is telling the guy that his presence is no longer needed. She tell him the tears in her eyes are not induced by their breakup, but rather by her new freedom as she forgets him and moves on.

She just has outdone herself, maybe she is not done yet. I am sure the guys at Rotana are regretting not being kind to this once and always hit maker.

LISTEN: Angham - Law Kont Single اغنية انغام - لو كنت

Angham might not have had her Ramadan Drama on TV this year, but she is not out, fresh of a round of media interviews and a rumored feud with her co star Dalia Al Bihiry, Angham has never striekc me as a team player, she is a lone wolf and she sems to have few freinds in the business.

She has a combative style and almost always take things the wrong way, and insist that she has no problem, but the other party does have the problem. Fine, but why do most people do not have nice things to say about Angham? I like the lady and I like how sweet she can be. She might be misunderstood too. But by the same token she should look inward too

She is not mean, she got baggage dating back to her father and her working together when she was a little girl, then family drama. It really shows, as most of her interviews, it's easy to get Angham to talk about her personal life--her her divorce from the Kuwait composer and the father of her children.

Luckily for her the Gulf adores her voice, and luckily for them she keeps on doing songs in that dialect like her most recent single, a happy song really about imagining the moment...this is a hit song with some fresh music with some cool violin. The song's lyricist and the composer is the same person whose name is Al Sima- a female perhaps?

The composer did a really good job. A fitting song for the Eid with a lot of well wishes. Dream on....

Moustafa Mahfouz Is The Most Underrated Pop Star

His latest single has been released and it has the viewership on YouTube to show for it. For starter Moustafa Mahfouz is a very good composer, he has a good name and a decent brand. He has collaborated with the best pop stars out there. Then he has helped young stars break into the business--like Omniya Suliman.

But he has also released a number of songs, his songs are pretty catch too. He makes good layered music and his voice is pretty enjoyable. The guy knows how to present the sade and broken hear voice without much agony.

Sure, his first music video was a bit random with a lot of random things and sexually confusing models and hot rides. But the song itself was fresh. Then came a single after another. His album was delayed but he just given us a sample with this single. He sings to and abut women as if they are both grownup ups, no kiddie crap.

Marwa Nasr Post Marriage Song "Beit Wahed" / مروة نصر - بيت واحد

Marwa Nasr has gotten married to some music producer, and they had a big bash and they never said they were getting married...they invited folks over for an engagement party and then the wedding started. Her latest single is meant to tell us all that she has gotten what she has thought and prayed about.

Put that aside for a second, and now she is ready to tell you about the moment they have become one and have moved into the same place together---hopefully forever. I liked Marwa few years ago, and I think her voice is entertaining, she might be a one note vocalist. She has a comfort zone.

The ladies and the confused males would love this song, your average Moe might not relate too it....so we are getting married he says! The song is about dreaming about Mr. right, Marwa has a lot to say about that, she did hire a model to fill in for her husband.

Listen: Amr Diab - Fi Haga Feek عمرو دياب - في حاجة فيك

Pop Star's celebrated king Amr Diab does it again, he shared a new single of his. He released it on the day of Eid and made it out to all his fans. You get the guitar, the upbeat house mix, and Amr Diab.

This is throwaways song, that means, the song is not going to recycle for years, it';s a good song not a great one. One cool thing about it, Amr Diab made the music himself--something he does not do often enough.

The timing of the song comes few days before Amr's mega concert in Cairo at the Hockey Stadium. Such releases help the rally up the fan for this concert.

Fadel Shaker Is Like The Crazy But Nice Uncle

When you home speaks a language, you better speak the language if you wan to get comfortable at the place where you have been granted peace. Fadel Shaker told us he will quit the music business, but then this latest single of his is the answer---he is not going anywhere.

This time he has a lady in his music video and he seems to be frozen and a lot older than he once was. But the salt and pepper hair brings some maturity to this poem turned into a song . I love the gracious part where the song credits the creator with making such gorgeous people.

I think Fadel does well when he sings, when you ask for his opinions, things get ticky as he gets emotional

Fadl Shaker - Ma Assadda' / فضل شاكر - ما أصدق

LIKE This: Karim Mohsen - Bahlam Bik / كريم محسن - بحلم بيك قريباً

Karim Mohsen can be a miracle worker to Egyptian pop, he is one of the most creative young forces in the pop scene at the moment. While his career seems to have taking off as a singer too, he performs in a number of colleges and universities around Egypt. His latest work included a hit song with Syrian diva Asala.

But in the meantime, he is giving his fans a teaser for a song he will be releasing soon, a love song where he is confessing about dreaming about his loved one. A cute way to get a girl's attention. I am in for the music portion of the song.

I have always liked the hint of sadness Karim's voice has, it gives a nice balance to his sweet and funky side. I am certain comes this Eid--Karim will be performing in a number of events. Too bad his old buddy Tamer Hosny cannot say the same.

Ahmed Ezzat, The Post Star Academy Chapter

The cool dude of Egyptian pop has released four singles, two for Ramadan and two romantic one. 

It took him 12 months to release those singles. One thing most of us come to like about Ahmed is his down to earth personality combined with his relate-able voice.

That means when he sings, he actually tells a story from the heart that one can immediately relate to. He does not sing the kind of songs that come from thin air. Now comes his second Ramadan song, the one from last year was very good--even better if you have spend some time in Egypt.

This year's song sounds the alarm on being human and making errors due to our collective weakness. I am not certain why Ahmed Ezzat does not release more songs, I know that the times are far from perfect for new music. But I do not hear much about any concerts he is holding in the wake of his TV fame from last year's Star Academy.

 I call myself a fan of Ezzat's, he sounds like a grownup and mature singer, he is not the kind of guy that will get you to dance and move to his beat in the club. Instead he speaks to your heart and mind to feed your emotional needs. Now, this is a Ramadan song coming from someone who is bold enough to say he is weak and wants to be kept away from the temptation.

Tamer Ashour Does It Again In This Ramadan Intro Song

Tamer Ashour just released the promo intro song for a new TV Drama that will air this Ramadan. The show is starting Khaled El Nabouy, the show is titled Ibn Moot , son of death. And that's the same title for the new Tamer Ashour created song just for this show.

The composer and singer composed the music and sang the song with passion and sorrow. Needless to say when Tamer Ashour release anything, the internet goes crazy as it seems that his fans both love and respect this talented musical hit maker.

I think this is a fresh sounding music, unlike anything Tamer has done before. Intro songs do wonders to market any show....I call it a great choice on the song and the artists who knows how to represent a sad story with his signature voice.

Ahmed Magdy, People Of The Intranet HATE Your New Music Video

I think Ahmed Magdy is a well meaning Egyptian singer, his new song about Cairo 2012 and new elections is timely, but I am not sure what's up with the politics. Ahmed starts the song asleep as the TV goes off with interviews from Tahrir and people fired up---he seems to be part of the couch movement.

Magdy seems to be frustrated with all the politics he sees and nothing on TV but politics and debate. So he titled his song "I am not in the mood". A humorous song about most people in Egypt, they are no revolutionary, only some are. Magdy is cynical and I can see that...but it seems the net don't like his new song.

See the part where he is trying to take a leak. This is the anti-activist song, a song for those indifferent among us who want to be back their old routines.

EXCLUSIVE Nahwa - Lansob Kheima / نهوى - لانصب خيمة

2012 should be the year Arabia has met the reincarnation of one of its music legends. I am speaking of the legend of the singer Samira Tawfik. The singer who has that honor of being compared to Samira is a new lady that goes by the name Nahwa. She is performing under the Rotana music label and they just have let her new single out and I could not help by make that Samira Tawfik reference 

I am hardly the first one to draw that conclusion, Lebanese singer Wissam Al Ameer seems to agree with me. Among Nahwa's fans is another music mogul Tarek Abu Judeh--the man behind many of Yara's hits. The video below shows how popular is young Lebanese singer as she has a New Year concert at home where it was packed.

I do not know much about her thick eyebrows, but it might be a nice throwback to that era. The genre of music is the Bedouin style and dialect, something that has really been missing for the past decade. Enjoy the music and appreciate.

LISTEN: Wael Kfoury 2012 Album وائل كفوري حصرياً

Rotana has made nice with Wael Kfoury and they are about to release his new album next week. This is his first in more than four years. The romantic Lebanese singer did not mind the wait, he seemed not to really car much for new albums--he was still busy with concerts and tennis.

But finally the money is here, and we get to hear the first new song on his album, it's a romance for sure and its his genre. The interest has embraced the album and went crazy about the thought of a new Wael Kfoury album. I know the ladies are his biggest fans.

There's a whole new look for the handsome romance wonder, he is going for the beard. Something of a conquistador look with bling, and a thick hair. I think a lot has changed in those four years, and some young people might have missed the Wael boat, not sure how the timing of the release, a week prior to the end of Ramadan would play out.

enjoy the new single

Najwa Karam, A Rare Lebanese Patriot جديد نجوى كرم - اسرج بالليل حصانك

Najwa Karam has always spoken about her pride of her home country. She is so proud that she would not sing in any other dialect but her own. She would not kiss up to other Arabs, she views them as peers. She always speaks her mind and when she has problems with her producers, she teaches them a lesson and they apologize to her.

She always says yes to any concert and function at home, she is the gal that's happy to sing in any music festival in Lebanon--big or small. She has sang to Lebanon in many occasions, she celebrates the army and incorporates them in some of her music videos. What makes her different than most other Lebanese celebrities is her faith in her country. She is ALWAYS Lebanese. She does not give u on her country even when the times are hard and the spirits are low. 

She walks tall and her heart beats Lebanon all the way. Many thought she would be part of the song supporting the army--a giant music video, but she wasn't. Instead to celebrate the army, she has her won song. To be honest her song is much better than that other one. It has more pride and it has more energy.

Hear it our, and I am sure, you will think, Najwa still got it. She is the rocking star of Arabic music. A song tells of a love story of a women who has a crush on her solider. She just wants to see him back victorious. She is so PROUD! The song makes me want to enlist this minute.

Ramy Sabry Ramadan Track - Yarab / رامي صبري - يارب

Ramy Sabry strikes me as someone who is not a big fan of the Egyptian revolution, he has criticized it and spoke well of some of its opponents. But this Ramadan--like every one he released a Ramadan track, a supplication for sure.

About fasting the month with good intentions and doing all the rituals. I am a fan of Ramy's music not his politics. He is smart composer and a gifted singer who knows how to make a good song and he carried himself well.

I am going to say when it comes to heartfelt pop songs, Ramy comes really close to the Amr Diab school. I am glad he continues to make music  and happy that he has gotten married now to focus on good music gone better.
