The young composer Tamer Ashour said that he did not expect ever that his first album “ 7ad bey7eb” to achieve this great success, that he he never imagined at all indicating that he did not imagine himself as a singer, and that he only made this move only after a long thinking period and the encouragement of a large number of his audiance, especially those on the Internet denying that his decision to sing is an imitating to Amr Mostafa’s experience nor it is a trend or fashion to abandon the singing backstage seeking fame or stardom.

stressing that the arena is open to everyone and eventually the judge is for the audience. Ashour said that the singing would never take him from composing ven if he became number one superstar; as composing is in his blood and he can never give it up. He is now working on composing a number of songs for Shireen Abdul Wahab, Louay and Elissa. and has recently composed in Asala’s new album "Noss 7ala"

Regarding his relation with Rotana Company, the producer of his album, Ashour confirmed that it couldn’t get any better. And that he isn’t new in the company as he cooperated with Rotana erlier as a composer. And that;s why he signed a five years contract with them, whereby; four four Albums are remaining on an album every year base, the company offered very good publicity for his first album and it is indeed a great art entity which he was able to be presented everywhere in a very distinct advertisement through it. Ashour said that he will not leave Rotana after they dealt well with him as a singer and a composer.

on ther hand, Ashour is preparing to travel to Lebanon to film the new video “Teslam” directed by U.S. filmmaker, "Olivra" . The album "7ad bey7eb” is produced by Rotana and includes "14" Song, where Ashour cooperated with song writer Nader Abdallah, Hani Abdul Karim, Mohamed Taema, Khaled Tajjudin and the composers Khaled Ezz , Rami gamal, and Mohamed Yehia. Ashour composed onlt three songs arranged by Hani Yacoub, Ahmed Ibrahim, Mohamed Mostafa, Kareem Abdul Wahab and Khaled Ezz.

After three years of discord, artist Mohammad Fouad and song writer Mustafa Kamel are back to working together! Both of them held intensive sessions together to prepare Fouad's new album, produced by Rotana.

The album features the works of Fouad's favorite successful team: Waleed Saad, Ehab Abdou, Ayman Bahgat Qamar, Fahd, Mohammad Mustafa, Magdi Daoud, Mustafa Kamel, Nader Abdullah, Hani Abdel Kareem, Tamer Ashour, Mustafa Morsi and Mohammad Ruhayim.

Fouad maintained that he respected Kamel deeply, saying: "That Mustafa and I didn't work together for a while, does not at all mean that there are problems between us. Mustafa is like a brother to me, and we've been so good together. I consider him one of the few talented song writers in Egypt.

However, he was busy with his own albums. If you take the period when we didn't work together, you'll see that he didn't really work with any other singer! Anyways, we are back to working together, and my next album will feature more than a song by Mustafa Kamel."

Kamel did indeed write two songs to be featured in Fouad's album, and is now getting ready to write another two. Kamel asserted that he shared with Fouad a long lifetime of struggle and success.

Artist Sherine Abdel Wahab has been visiting many beauty centers and gyms lately in order to lose weight, especially after she gained a lot of weight after giving birth to her daughter Maryam.

Since then, Sherine has been depressed and that’s why she is considering flying to the USA to have a liposuction. Sherine refuses completely to undergo this operation in Egypt, due to her fear of the repetition of what happened with the late Souad Nasr.

On the other hand, Sherine is done recording 45 songs, to select from which the songs to be featured in her new album, produced by Rotana. The album is to be released by the end of the year, and witnesses Sherine’s cooperation with a group of prominent poets like Nader Abdullah, Hani Abdel Kareem, Ameer Te’eima, Tamer Ashour and Waleed Saad, and arrangers Mohammad Mustafa, Ghoneim, Fahd, Touma and Magdi Dawoud.

Some of the recorded songs are: “Ala Eih Kol Dah”, “Wenta Maaya”, “Fi Hodn Hawak”, “Khalas Hasamhak”, “El-Meraya”, “Bahlam Wana Sahya” and “Helm Wala Haa’iaa”

For the last few days, artist Amr Diab has been spending 18 hours daily inside the studio to finalize his new album, which he intends to release on the New Year’s Eve. However, as usual, Diab didn’t specify a date to deliver the final master copy to the producing company “Rotana”.

He kept everything under a veil of secrecy, and increased the guards at “Leila” studio, where he records his songs in order to avoid what happened last year, when some of the album’s songs were leaked online just a few days before the release. Diab is being really meticulous in all the album’s details, and also really careful in the selection of songs.

He reads a lot of lyrics and listens to many musical compositions everyday. In this album, Diab is betting on the same team who helped him succeed before, like Bahaa El-Deen Mohammad, Khaled Tag El-Deen, Amr Mustafa, Hassan El-Shafiy and Hossam Habeeb.

Diab has settled on some songs which are: “Yama”, composed by Khaled Ezz, “Tamenny”, composed by El-Badr Kelbash, and both songs are written by Khaled Tag El-Deen and arranged by Hassan El-Shafiy. There is also the song “Awedt Alby”, composed by Amr Mustafa and written by Khaled Tag El-Deen and the song “Ya Reit Sennak Yezeed Sanatein”, written by Bahaa El-Deen Mohammad.

Diab is working on the rest of the album’s songs, which are expected to reach 10 songs all in all. This album is Diab’s fourth with Rotana, after “Leily Nahary”, “El-Leila Di” and “Kammel Kalamak”. The new album is also the first album after Diab’s renewal of his contract with Rotana, in a deal that is the considered the most expensive in the history of Arabic music, with an estimate of 12 million dollars in return for producing 5 albums and 2 movies.

A lot of controversy is going on these days, especially among those who are closely following the developments of the case of the late Lebanese singer Suzanne Tamim. Such controversy started after the picture of her dead body was leaked to many websites.

There were polls everywhere asking the participants for their opinion whether to publish the picture or not. It all began with 3 Lebanese newspapers, one of which is electronic. Adel Maa'touk, Tamim's husband, filed a lawsuit against these newspapers, accusing them of disrespecting the dead and asserting his absolute refusal of turning his late wife into a cheap tool of propaganda.

The electronic newspaper retrieved the picture immediately. The picture was taken of Tamim's dead body right after the discovery of the murder ta her Dubai apartment, showing blood covering her face and slaughtered neck. The picture asserts the inaccuracy of the information that was circulated saying that the murderer completely cut her head off her body. Mortada Mansour accused security authorities with leaking the picture for specific aims.

He added saying that this immediately brings to mind the scenario of the infamous CD that featured Hossam Abul Fotouh and belly dancer Dina. Mansour then requested the cessation of what he called a "Media Circus" over the case. Mansour maintained that the case is not worth all that attention, and asked everybody to leave things at the hands of the court and not to try to alter facts.

Mansour then refused to reveal some extremely dangerous and sensitive information, because – according to him – such information may affect Egypt's relations with some Arab countries, hinting at the involvement of some VIPs in Tamim's murder. Mansour asserted that he refused to defend any of the case's parties because he considered himself a witness.

Last Sunday, anchorman Amr Adeeb surprised the audience of his daily show "Al-Qahira Al-Youm", aired on Orbit Network, with the news of having the picture of a slaughtered Suzanne Tamim. However, Adeeb was evidently discouraged by the fact that he might be pursued legally if he aired the picture. He decided to have a poll to see what the audience think.

The poll results were as follows: 51% were for airing it, while the rest refused. At the end of the episode, Adeeb decided to postpone the picture's issue till the next day, saying that he would be waiting for the votes of his audience, who were to be the final judges. However, the episode started and ended without any mentioning of the picture, poll or votes.

Intensive working sessions had been set by the singer Hani Shaker, with a number of poets and composers in order to select the songs of his new album, from which he will be going back to work with the “Alam El phan” which Shaker bets to maintain his luster career with.

The sessions held by the prince of singing focused on meeting with a number of names that he used to deal with in his previous albums, such as Bahaa El Din Mohamed, Mohamed Hani Al-Rifai as well as Hani El Soghayar and Khalid Geneidi, as for composers he will be cooperating with Amr Mostafa, in addition to Mohamed Diauddin and Nader Nour.

Hani Shaker is already preparing to enter the studio to record the already chosen songs, in order for them to be completed before putting the album through in mid-year holiday; since Hani Shaker always prefers to launch his albums during the winter season.

It has been agreed between both Hani Shaker and Mohsen Jaber to film three video clips of his songs, as has been carried out previously with Ehab Tawfiq by Jaber, where he assures by that the company's precision on shooting the successful songs of the album to ensure it’s spread and promotion.

Hani Shaker describes his re-cooperating with the producer Mohsin Jaber as a “home sweet home” coming, stressing that Jaber is his friend and they both have a long history together. Hani had a very bitter experience made him pay attention to the existence of those hidden hands trying to oust the Egyptian singer out of the musical arena.

as well as striking below the belt, together with the spread of mafia of fraud Thefts, and so it was natural to go the “friend before the producer’ to help him overcome those difficulties.

Lebanese artist Ragheb Allama applauded the "Asmahan" series that was aired in Ramadan on more than one Arab satellite channel, achieving a huge success. Allama said that people liked the series because it presented Asmahan as a normal human being, and did not fall into the trap of presenting her as an angel who never errs…

Allama, who belongs to the Druze sect, which is the same sect of Asmahan and her late brother musician Fareed El-Atrash, and which is now headed by politician Waleed Junblat, said that the one of the series' good points is that they avoided some of the thorny aspects of the late singer's life, and did not at all tackle the issue of religion, asserting that sectarian conflicts are the main cause of trouble in the Arab World in general and in Lebanon specifically.

I asked him: It was once said that you dream of being a politician if the sectarian system in Lebanon was abolished.. Is that true?

First of all I am a Lebanese citizen who has the right to express his opinion very freely. Some say that I can play the game of politics because I know about such stuff, however, I say that I am not a fanatic of any sect or political party in Lebanon.

I look to the Lebanese Cause objectively and I can say confidently that I support any resistance movement that seeks to defend the Lebanese lands and people who are eyed by the Zionist enemy. I am for any movement that fights for my country's freedom and development. So, amidst this bad and sectarian political system, I don't have any political aim. I don't even dream of being a minister in the middle of all this chaos.

Ok, moving from politics to art… Are you satisfied with your latest album "Baa'shaa'ko"?

I spent a long period preparing this album which features 11 songs, two of which are in the Khaliji accent, and another two in the Lebanese accent, while the rest are all in the Egyptian one. What's new about this album is that it has been distributed by two companies: International Virginia in Europe and some Gulf countries, and Melody in Egypt. I consider myself a special case and I do have an identity different than that of any other singer, so I spent a lot of time preparing this album, with different and unique styles, which means that I made my choices very carefully regarding accents and different singing styles.

How do you see your "video clips" on satellite channels?

We should not be mixed up between what's prevalent and bad and between the decent stuff that have something serious to tackle. Undoubtedly, the trivial clips depending on business have increased a lot, and their aim is purely commercial. I detest such kinds of clips that disfigure the notion of art. The decent clips that include serious and good ideas are few in number, but you can distinguish them anywhere.

How did you manage along all these years to maintain your stardom among all the conflicts of the artistic medium?

Patience, my dear, is the keyword. Each one of us has to be a fighter so as to succeed in any field. It's true that the political situation in Lebanon is really bad, and sadly this is reflected on the artistic medium in the form of many divisions and problems occurring between artists. What makes me even sadder is the fact that some production companies use artists as tools to fight each other. However, I think that survival is for the fittest, and I wholly believe that God is always on my side, so I fear no one at all.

Eid Al-Fitr witnessed a new kind of competition between composers who started singing: Ramy Sabry and Tamer Ashour. Both are trying to assert themselves in their new career, though Sabry was the first to head towards this new terrain two years ago.

Ramy Sabry's newest addition within the frame of the aforementioned competition is the album (Ghamadt Einy), which features 12 songs that he composed, except for the song (Bahess Beek). All the album's songs are arranged by Tarek Tawakol.

Sabry announced that he was getting ready to film two of the album's songs: (Kalam Kolo Aady) and (Heyya), written by Wael Tawfeek, and to be directed by Tarek El-Erian.

On the other hand, Tamer Ashour released his first album as a singer: (Hadd Beyhebb), produced by Rotana. The album features 10 new songs: (Hagi Ala Nafsi), (Kelmet Ahebb), (Kattar Kheiry), (Eftaraana), (Enta Meen Beysadaak), (Zai Koll Marra), (Kelmet Shokr), (Teslam), (Leih Bafakkar) and (Hadd Beyhebb).


This album features the works of poets Mohammad Atef, Khaled Tag El-Deen, Ameer Te'eima, Hani El-Sagheer, Ahmad Ali Moussa, Mano, Nader Abdullah and Hani Abdel Kareem.

What's really funny is the fact that Ashour didn't compose all the album's songs, but rather cooperated with other composers like Ramy Gamal, Khaled Ezz, Mohammad Yehia and Mohammad Ruhayim and arrangers Touma, Khaled Ezz, Ahmad Ibrahim, Kareem Abdel Wahab, Fahd, Ossama El-Hindi, Hani Yaaqoub, A'ser and Mohammad Mustafa.

In her first appearance after announcing her official separation from her husband and father of her children Ellie Deeb, artist Nawal El-Zoghbi was seen in a whole new different look, in the huge concert held on the first day of Eid Al-Fitr in the Conference Hall, Dubai.

Diana Haddad and Aassy El-Hilanny took part in the concert as well. At the concert, El-Zoghbi presented a collection of her most famous and successful songs, in addition to one new song, which she dedicated to her audience.

El-Zoghbi announced last September her official separation from Ellie Deeb, after a 16 year marriage. It's worth mentioning that for the last two years, El-Zoghbi had been denying the separation, though many asserted it did happen.

Newspapers and magazines insisted on publishing news about their separation, which forced El-Zoghbi to appear on a satellite channel to confess that they were indeed separated, but they enjoyed a good relationship, for the sake of their children who shouldn't be affected by such a thing.

El-Zoghbi then disappeared completely, where none of the journalists in the Arab world managed to reach her in order to interview her about the subject.

The new album features 9 songs that are definitely going to be a surprise for my audience , Samozein is obviously artistically active, after cooperating for the first time with “Mazzika” Group last year; managing to achieve a huge success with his latest album “Aref Eih”, an album which was highly rated and appreciated by the audience, critics and journalists, in addition to topping the musical charts for many successive weeks.

Last March witnessed a new step in Samozein’s artistic career, as he renewed his contract with “Mazzika” and renowned producer “Mohsen Gaber”. Starting from the moment Samozein signed the new contract, he started preparing for his new album that took 6 months to prepare and to carry out. Just a few days ago, Samozein put the final touches on the songs featured in his new album to be released by the Fitr Feast.

The album is entitled “Leek Wahdak”, and features 9 songs, carefully chosen to present Samo in a new look and level, in order to achieve a success even more huge than that of last year. The new songs are: “Khatem Fee Eidak”, “Ayez Menny Eih”, “Geitlak Beitak”, “Ihsasy Beyshedeny”, “Youm”, “Aref Maly”, “Yally”, “Talea Le Meen” and “Leek Wahdak”.

Samozein’s new album “Leek Wahdak” is characterized by having multiple and new musical forms, such as Maqsoum, Techno, House, Regatone and Rap.

After settling on all the featured songs in the album, Samozein and producer “Mohsen Gaber” chose the song “Ayez Menny Eih” to be filmed. Intensive work sessions were held between the two and director “Yasser Sami”, who had never worked with Samozein before.


They all agreed that the clip’s idea should be new, different and unique. The clip turned out to have a fantastic plot full of optical tricks and illusions. The plot of the clip is about some guys listening to Samo’s new song, then he suddenly appears in front of them.

This happens every time anyone listens to the song, with Samo appearing in many different places. Shooting of the clip took 3 continuous days, and took place in Al-Rabwa, Sheikh Zayed City, the Desert Road, Downtown Cairo, Tahrir Square, Qasr El-Neel Bridge, and also a “Hanger” on the Desert Road.

About 50 models participated in the clip, in addition to Miss Arabia 2008.The album is to be released soon, and the clip is to be aired exclusively on Mazzika and Zoom channels.

Fadel Shaker finished preparing his new album, now it is scheduled to be released during "Eid" celebrations produced by Rotana.

The album contains ten songs, five with Lebanese dialect and the other five with Egyptian dialect. Meanwhile Fadl is preparing to shoot the hit song as a music video with Said El Marouk.

Noteworthy, that despite the rumors about canceling the duet between
Fadl and Elissa, sources inside Rotana keeps confirming that the duet is actually ready and it is entitled "Akhiran" (Finally).

A war of a very special kind is on these days between artists Elissa and Haifa Wehbe, the weapon of which is name calling and accusations. Such war is the direct result of the fiery statements that Elissa made in more than a TV and a journalistic interview; accusing Wehbe of using “dirty” ways to get her out of her way for good.

She also said that if she had a magic wand, she would instantly make Wehbe disappear! Elisa also accused Wehbe of always trying to distract her by going into problems and debates, but she, however, prefers to focus on her work, which is the secret to her success.

Elissa added saying: “I’m used to such stuff since I started my career as a singer; at first, I used to cry and cry, but my mentors always told me that this only proves my success. With time, I discovered that the more successful you become, the more people are gonna talk about you.”

In return, Wehbe waged a severe attack on Elissa, calling her “psychologically disturbed”, after her personal problems with her colleagues from the artistic medium, (the last of whom was Amr Diab), had really crossed the line.

Wehbe stated that: “If Elissa is really convinced of what she said, then she’s wrong. On the contrary, I want her to remain alive to witness my success, to enjoy my stardom and to see with her own eyes the difference between me and her.”!!

Though the first wave of Muhammad Hamaqi's new album (Nawiha) was sold out, Hamaqi expressed his concern for the producing company Soat El-Delta, for he expected that the album would sell up to three waves in this period of time, as he exerted lots of efforts in this album specifically, more than he did in any of his previous albums, in addition to critics' praises of the level of the album and all its featured songs.

Officials at the company asserted to Hamaqi that he shouldn't be worried, for the album's sales –in both cassette tapes and CDs- are extremely good, especially when compared to many albums that were released this summer, most of which are by huge stars and produced by major companies.

Officials told Hamaqi that his album has been doing much better than such albums though they were released earlier. They also assured him that the summer season is not over yet, and that more waves would be definitely sold out during the next few weeks.

Hamaqi agreed with producer Isaad Younis to start the sessions of his first motion picture with Al-Arabiya Company within the next few days, so that he would start with the shooting right after the Fitr Feast. A date has not yet been assigned to starting the shooting of Hamaqi's movie with Mona Zaki, entitled (Foa Gezira Lowahdohom).

Officials at the Egyptian Television succeeded in getting artist Sherine Abdel Wahab to sign a contract that binds her to record Ramadan's Iftar prayer, which will be broadcasted on Channel one right after Al-Maghrib prayer. The prayer is written by poet Ayman Bahgat Qmar and composed by Khaled Ezz.

Abdel Wahab was thrilled to hve been chosen for this specific work. She said that this has been her dream for many years since she was a child, even before she got tht famous.

Abdel Wahab said tat she is very happy that she will be performing something that many of the greatest Sheiks like Al-Nakshabandi and Salah El-Gamal did. According to our sources at the Egyptian TV, Abdel Wahab decided not to take any money in return for recording this prayer.

Singer and composer Hussam Habib celebrated the release of his new album “Gowa El-Alb” in a press conference attended by many journalists and media professionals from Egypt and the Arab World.

Though Habib was swamped with questions, the thing that many noticed was the fact that each sentence said by Habib was immediately followed by thanks and acknowledgements to artist Amr Diab for being there for him during the preparations for his album.

With the repetition of thanks from Habib, I asked him, why do you particularly thank Diab for helping you out with your album? Habib answered saying: “Amr Diab is the master of our generation, so as to say. I and many other singers have learnt a lot from him.

When we happened to meet each other ion person, I discovered a person with one a in a million character, with his voice, charisma, intelligence, patience and diligence. All those traits helped Diab become what he is today: the number one singer in Egypt and the Arab World. My relationship with Diab is that of a student with his teacher, so I’m pleased to be paying due respect to my teacher at all times.

I asked him whether Diab gave him any piece of advice. Habib said: “He advised me to focus on my work, and to shut my ears to any rumors, and to pay attention only to my music and art.”

I asked: “What do you think about what’s being said about a hidden conflict between Amr Diab and Tamer Husny, and is that conflict one-sided or two-sided?”

Habib answered: “Well, both artists can never be compared, for Husny’s artistic age is merely 5 years, while Diab’s is 25. Success is continuity. I also asked Habib about the titles bestowed upon Tamer Husny like “King of Generation” and “Star of Generation”.

Habib answered saying: If the fans were the ones to spread such titles, then he deserves them, but if Husny was the one to call himself so, then this was a huge mistake on his side, for Diab, though he is what he is, never called himself “The King of Music” or “The King of Arabic Music”, although he is of course worthy of such titles.

Finally, Habib thinks that Diab is the king of this generation and the next too, because he still possesses a youthful soul which shines through his voice and music.

Tears streamed down Algerian artist Samira Said’s face right after producer Mohsen Gaber had told her that (Alam El-Fann) is getting ready to release a third wave of her latest album (Ayam Hayati) in Cairo within the next few days. The first two waves of the album were completely sold out in no time, in addition to tens of waves that were sold out in other Arab and European countries.

Said could not contain herself out of happiness after knowing such good news, especially that she has been going through a state of severe anxiety since the release of the album. She said that she did not expect the audience to react to the album this positively, especially that she’s been away from the artistic arena for more than three years in which she thought her popularity dropped.

What made Said even happier was the fact that the audience’s tastes must have changed through out this relatively long period, that is why she shed tears of joy, which is usually the case whenever she hears good news.

It’s known that this album was released recently after many postponements. It features 14 songs: (Awam Keda, Hobb May’ous Menno, Aad El-Kelma, Ana Ketir Aleik, El-Fadl Yerg’alak, Nefsi Atkalem, Oyounak Odami, Sa’et El-Zorouf, Ana Maak, Mestahmelak Ana, Kefaya Keda, Mayheminish Bokra, Lehe’t Ezay and Ayam Hayati). The album features Said’s cooperation with poets (Ayman Bahgat Qamar, Nader Abdullah, Hamdiya El-Titi, Tamer Hussein and Ameer Te’eima).

The album also features the works of composers (Muhammad Yehia, Mounir El-Gazaery, Hamdi Sedeeq, Amr Mustafa, Sherief Qotta, Ashraf Salem and Khaled Ezz) and arrangers (Hani Yaakoub, Ameer Mahrous, Muhammad Mustafa, Muhammad Awad, Khaled Ezz and Hazem Raafat).

Director Hady El-Bagoury supervised the shooting of the song (Hobb May’ous Menno). The plot of the clip revolves mainly about an emotional dramatic state involving anger, despair and the failure of a love relationship.
The clip was shot over 3 continuous days. Day one was at Studio Masr; shooting the inside scenes, while day two was at the Media Production City, at the Alexandrian area, shooting the outside scenes and day three was spent at Prince Taz Palace.

Said appeared in a new and different look regarding her clothes, makeup and even her performance.

Artist Jannat has just finished recording her latest song (Habibi Ala Niyato), which is to be released within the next few days, among the first cocktail to be issued by ‘Good News 4 Music’, entitled ‘Good News 1’.

The cocktail features songs for the stars of ‘Good News 4 Music’ such as Essaf, Hatem Fahmy, Muhammad El-Qammah and the newly discovered Ahmad Ragab, in addition to Muhammad Nour from outside the company, plus Jannat of course, who will share with two songs.

(Habibi Ala Niyato) is produced by Ahmad El-Desouky, written by prominent poet Bahaa El-Deen Muhammad, composed by Muhammad El-Sawy and arranged by Hani Yaakoub. Jannat is getting ready to video clip the song within the next few days with director Kareem Abu Zeid.


Jannat had attracted the attentions of many after her huge success at the major concert held a few days ago at the ‘Nile Country Club’. The concert also featured Mahmoud El-Esseily and Kareem Abu Zeid. Jannat topped the stage after mid night and went on singing till dawn, with thousand of young people interacting with her. Jannat sang all of her first album’s songs like (Elly Beiny We Beinak, Bahebak, Gedeed, Betmorr Beazma, Kelmet Bahebek and Aktar Men Sana).

After a long period of absence from the movie world, artist Mona Zaki agreed to co-star the movie (Foa’ Gezira Lowahdena), along with star Muhammad Hamaqi, in his first hand experience with the movie world.

The script to the movie is written by Tamer Habib and produced by the Arab Company –Isaad Younes- with an 8 million L.E increasable budget. A director for the movie has not yet been assigned.

The plot of the movie is a romantic one about a love story between a poor guy and a rich aristocratic girl, causing a lot of problems for both. So, they decide to escape to some faraway place; a serene island, believing they could dispense with all people but each other, so will their belief turn out to be true or not? This is exactly what the movie is about.


It’s worth mentioning that Mona Zaki has not taken any part in any movie for almost a year now, for she has been busy with the movie (Aswar El-Qamar), with director Tareq El-Erian. This movie has met with a lot of problems that prevented the starting of the shooting uptil now.

Finally, after endless postponements, Alam El-Fann Company –Mazzika- decided to release artist Samira Said’s latest album (Ayam Hayati) within the next few days.

The video clip (Hobb May’ous Menno) will be broadcasted at the same time of releasing the album. The plot of the clip is a dramatic-emotional one that revolves around the rage and despair Said experiences during the shooting. The song (Hobb May’ous Menno) is written by “Nader Abdullah”, composed by “Muhammad Yehia” and arranged by “Hani Yaakoub”, and the clip will be directed by Hadi El-Bagouri.

yrian artist Asala has finally settled on the nine songs to be featured in her new album, which is going to be released within the next few weeks. The album, in which Asala sings in the Egyptian, Syrian and Khaliji dialects, is produced by Rotana.

The featured songs are: (Biridaya Alaik), (Te’raf Habibi), (Baa’ Tabee’y), (Etfarag Ala Nafsak), (La Adri), (Kana Wahman), (Tabee’y Keda), (Mesh Fakra Leek), and (Noss Hala), which is going to be the title of the album. The album features the works of poets Wissam Sabry, Hussein Al-Naggar and Khaled Tag El-Deen and composers Muhammad Yehia, Jean-Marie, Khaled Ezz, in addition to Tamer Ashour who will be also singing a duet with Asala.

The fact that singer Rami Sabry was not the one to sing the duet with Asala came as a surprise to many, for it the intial plan for Sabry to sing and video clip the duet with Asala!

Asala has also decided on the two songs that she wants to video clip from the album: (Kana Wahman) and (Baa’ Tabee’y). The director of both will be Asala’s husband Tarek El-Erian. Rotana has assigned a huge budget for the two video clips, reaching 750 thousand $, in order for them to come out exactly as El-Erian envisions them.

Superstar Amr Diab held a huge press conference that was attended by different media, on the occasion of the renewal of his contract with Rotana for a period of 5 years to come. This is considered an unprecedented happening, because it is a well known fact that Rotana does not have any contract with any other singer that exceeds a period of 3 years. This comes after six months of negotiations between Diab and the company.


Diab made it clear in the press conference that his only demand within the new contract - which in fact has always been his demand - that any of his video clips should be available for broadcasting on the Egyptian National TV on the very same day of their release. This has always been Diab’s habit, as a kind of loyalty for his country, Egypt.

Diab’s next album is to be released by next December. Diab refused to disclose the financial details of the contract. He said that the documentary “Helm Wahed Mel Nass” that tackles his life story has become ready for the exclusive broadcasting on Rotana Channels. The documentary tells about Diab’s life from the moment he entered the Institute in 83, and the beginning of his professional artistic journey in 88.

Diab also asserted that there will be a huge work that will be presented in the Main Hall of Cairo Opera House by the end of this year, the revenues of which will be for the benefit of building schools, under the patronage of Egypt’s First Lady Mrs. Suzanne Mubarak.

Regarding his participation in Jordan Festival, which will be held starting from July 8th, and which Jordanian Artists’ Syndicate President called for its boycott due to the fact that the French Company organizing the Festival had also organized the celebrations of Israel’s 60th anniversary, Diab said: “I had no idea that Jordan has implemented artistic normalization with Israel. If such information turns out to be true, I will be the first to boycott the Festival, for I am one of Port Said citizens who were forced to emigrate, and I did suffer from war and Israeli aggressions.”

Regarding his long absence from the movie world, Diab said: “There are serious talks currently going on regarding this very subject between Rotana and myself. Such talks may result in a movie within the next months, especially with Rotana’s entry into cinematic production.”

Diab was then asked whether young stars like Tamer Husny and Muhammad Hamaqi have affected his stature, Diab answered saying: “I have been hearing this question since the day I started singing, and was applied then to Eman El-Bahr Darwish. Husny and Hamaqi are however good artists whom I truly respect.”

Lebanese artist Elissa refused to comment on the accusations that have been directed at her for the last couple of weeks in Egypt, Lebanon and many artistic newspapers and magazines.

The accusations say that Elissa was the one to spread the rumor of her getting ready to marry an Arab Prince in return for 100 million dollars, in addition to an island named after her in Madrid, Spain.

The accusations assert that it was Elissa who sought to promote herself, just like it happened with many stars before when they remain out of the spotlight for a while. It is also said that Elissa spread the rumor as a kind of propaganda before the release of her latest video clip (Betmoun), shot at the Lebanese capital Beirut, and written and composed by Marwan Khoury.

(Betmoun) is Elissa’s first song to be video clipped from her latest album (Ayami Beek). Elissa refused to comment on all this, following the advice of her close circle of friends and managers.

Finally, after a long period of tension, the happy ending came with Amr Diab’s announcement that he would renew his contract with Rotana, for the distribution of his new albums. Diab refused to disclose the details of the new contract, however, some assume that it goes beyond 10 million $, in return for producing five new albums for Diab.

In the press conference, Diab asserted that he preferred to stay with Rotana for its stature, and because they make all his wishes come true. He also said that his new album would be issued next December, and that two of its featured songs will be video clipped, with Rotana’s production.

Diab asserted that he is on good terms with a number of young singers, whom he respects and wishes success because they do present good works. Diab also announced that he would definitely be boycotting Jordan Festival this year, if the allegations of its normalization with Israel were proven to be true.

Diab stressed the point that he refuses any and all kinds of normalization with Israel, which was the cause of his compulsive immigration from Port Said, his hometown, along with million of others.

On his side, Salem Al-Hindy said: “The new contract stopped all the rumors. The company was really keen on keeping a prominent artist like Amr Diab. We, at Rotana, are currently waiting for Diab to give us an idea for a new movie, so that we’d start working on it.”

All attempts made by artist Sherine with Rotana Company throughout the last weeks ended in failure. Sherine’s efforts were focused on convincing the Company not to release her new/old album (Batamenak), which features some of her old songs that were already released in previous albums.

Though at the beginning Sherine did not at all object to the idea, she later on listened to the advice of her friends and managers, who conducted a study the results of which were that releasing the album this way would definitely be a huge mistake, as it doesn’t include any new works for her, and hence would not accomplish tenth of the sales of Sherine’s previous albums.

This would definitely affect Sherine’s status, as it did with many stars who used to work with Rotana, many of whom asserted that the Company wants to kill the Egyptian singers one way or another!

Sherine tried to convince the Company in so many ways not to release the album, with a promise that the master copy of her upcoming album would be ready in a few weeks, so it could be released by the beginning of the new year. However, all those attempts were in vain, after the Company insisted on releasing the album, especially that its advertising campaign had already been launched, with the option of downloading parts of the album or even ring tones to mobile phones.

The Company also thought that Sherine was running late due to her pregnancy and childbirth, despite the fact that her first album with Rotana was supposed to be released by the beginning of 2008!
