Khaled AlRashed seems like a cool dude who like to have a good time. And he is sharing with his fans a recent trip he just took to the UAE city of Dubai. The young singer, rode in the business class and started his trip with a brand coffee, then went out to a number of fast and casual food diners.

Dubai is filled with so many places like these, and the young vocalists seem to have done a number of tourist things around the rich emirate. And manged to hold his phone camera and document all the cool things he has done it. Khaled seems like a neat artist who takes good care of himself and grooming.

He did even go for frozen yogurt. Then he showed us some cool things around that crazy place known as Dubai....it seems he likes hamburgers....too bad! Was he using a selfie stick? Probably yes! This is is a lifestyle song about having it one's way. The singer flew in form Dubai for a day and he went back. Man he makes me hungry.

Helllo World! Have You Met @LuZogbi The Brazilian/Lebanese Beauty?

She is Brazilian, she is Lebanese, no wait she is both. And she is her to rock out and give the internet one more reason to smile.

Luciana Zogbi is her name and singing is her passion. Luciana chose not to sing in Arabic or Brazilian, she went for an American song. Good choice that shows a lot of promise and warmth. Find more of her songs here  

Not much is known about this 19 years old vocalist who has the energy, the talent and the face for the show business. Can she sing? Hell yes? See her hit all these notes and blow minds away with her voice range. The talent of Gianfranco Casanova makes a perfect compliment to her vocal parade. So far I have seen many covers by Luciana Zogbi, she brings them to life and wins people over. I cannot imagine what she would do with her own original songs?

I hope some music executive is paying attention.

The New And Improved Nadeen Morgan Unleashed

Nadeen Morgan is anonymous according to the internet but on Facebook, she has a fan club. And she only has one song and music video to her name, so she is green. But she signed with Mazzika and they already put her in a music video.

This is your average pop song from a very young woman whose voice has some depth to it. I do not like the tired fashion show, and the expired music video moves, but this is not her fault--the director is to blame. But this is a happy song about eyes, where Nadeen spends a great deal wearing eyeglasses.

WATCH: The Soft Return of Amal Maher in "Ayam Matetawadsh"

In the past, people used to beg Amal Maher to make music videos for her songs, now she cannot be stopped. Amal makes so many music videos nowadays it's a sweet thing really. Her album released in the summer of 2015 with Mazzika and it was pretty well-made. A different take on her music than her stunning album of 2011. But still a decent work of art.

Luckily one of the better songs on the album gets a romantic music video set in Paris. The music is pretty amazing and so is the vocal performance for Amal Maher who shoes a lot of grace. It's a darker song about the past, and failing to live it to one's fullest. It's a song about things we missed in our lives.

This is an expensive music video to make and very nice sets and outdoors. It sucks the guy is glued to his phone and stopped dreaming and investing in his love. This is a play house music video about what we have and what we think we deserve or what we once had.

Amal goes back to her original self and the style that we have come to know her best for. The gentle and innocent lover who breaks one's heart without uttering a word. We know the editing of this clip took a very long time, but it came out and it features a number of styles, looks and outfits that put Amal Maher under a different shade. The plot is unclear, did Amal Maher have two lovers one from the past and one in the present? Or is she daydreaming?

The Late Tunisian Zekra Came Back To Life On The Voice! #MBCTheVoice

The Voice on MBC has four amazing vocalists, pop stars and musicians who represent the top of the food chain. They also get a large share of serious vocalists who may have the voice, but lack in other departments or lack in age.

Enter the stage Hadir, a young singer whose voice reminded the judges and the audience of a beloved legend of Zikra, the capable vocalist who was gunned down more than a decade a go in tragic events. Hadir is different for sure, but her voice has elements that we recall too well form Zikra's voice.

Haidr left a big impression on Sherine who gave her a big hug and she broke in tears upon making that connection. Hadir did chose to do a cover of a tough song by Zikra that is neither well-known or an easy performance. Hadir aced it and finally she chose to join the team of Iraqi Kadem El Saher.

Sharmoofers: The Stoners Of Egypt Get A Reggae Band @sharmoofers

In the wake of the revolution of January 25th 2011, many cool bands emerged and many of them have managed to survive and meet commercial success. However most of these bands had some kind of political leaning. While the music was alternative and fresh, the themes and the messages were all about change. One band had a different take. The world will know them as Sharmoofers. They seem a lot more like Bowling for Soap feel.

This is an indie band that and never wanted to talk about anything serious, they have no issues to care about and they do not pretend to have an impact on Egyptian youth or leaders. They wanted to make dope music, sick beats and have fun. Sharmoofers has no social message, their motto "music to make people happy"

They sing about random things (and sometimes silly) matters, but they keep it fresh and their music is something else. Most of the time, people do not make sense of what these guys are saying, but they know they like it. They band has their critics too, but they forget that the goal here is to entertain and not to ask people do things differently.

I like how they use a bit of rap, Reggae, and pop to excite people around whatever topic they feel like tackling.

Here's The First Song I Ever Loved, It was 1997

I think I was a freshman high school when this song by Diana Hadad was released. I was just so in love with this song, it took my breath away. It might be the first song that I connected with emotionally. I knew I was a fan of Diana ever since she did that "Sakin" song....but this song seems to be on the darker side. That was her second studio album and it came in 1997.

It's a love song but in the low point where you do not know where love is. Luckily Diana continues to make music for her fans. Some good, some misses, but she will always be remembered and defined by her first song when she was a young woman...

Diana's vocal performance, passion are out of this world. It just spoke to me, and told me that sometimes people need to learn patience in their quest for that eternal love....now that I have found that eternal love this song still rings true to my soul.

Godsend Waleed Al Shami Finds The Sweet Spot

Waleed Shami has found the sweet spot. He is an Iraqi hit-maker living in the Gulf, so he has to be nice to the locals. But he is so gifted so, he is certainly welcome over there. Though he is better known for his catchy dance songs, he has a sweet side. I think he is trying to be the man for all seasons. A bit of Majid Al Mohandis too--they arte both from Iraq.

Here's he song about how deep in his knees he is with that new love. Waleed has really occupied all the top spots in music charts, and he has done well for himself and for the artists he works with. He has many things right for him--one is his pronunciation. His sleek look, and incredible hair styles, his warmth but nothing compares to his fine music talent.

The locals love him and the Iraqis cannot escape him. He is certainly a trend-sitter.

Jana Sticks It To Her Ex And His Bimbo- Feek W Fiha @JanaOnlineWorld

Those who spend time in Lebanon, they know that cursing is a very common daily activity in that country. Vulgarity happens a lot at every sitting too, and sometimes if you do not know the local Lebanese customs, you may be scared---you should not.
That's relevant because now we have a new single by new comer Jana who takes that route by insulting her ex and his new love--a former friend of hers.

The song is a fighting song, it starts with to hell with you and her or even worse terms. But the song has already unleashed much fury in places like Egypt. But they do not know that these Lebanese lyrics are not as angry as they sound. So, she got the singing, the composing and the writing (her father is a poet) done, but she also has some dancing chops. She is a graduate of the respected TV show "Studio El Fan" This is not the first bold song by Jana, as she did another single in 2012 titled "Bent Min Al Charii" which roughly translates to "girl from the street" as in someone who has little class or grace.

The nice thing is that Jana did write these lyrics which give her a lot more credibility on the subject matter. Then the music have been crafted by Wissam El Amir and the production by Mark Abdel Nour which makes a solid A team. This is light pop song that does something real without having to be over the board. Jana makes a welcome addition to Lebanese pop.  This is yet another hit single from a young and promising pop songstress.

Roni Kassar Is Crying Beautifully (Video)

Roni Kassar is a cool Lebanese dude, he is breathing Lebanon in his latest music video. Filmed at some posh villa in the foothills of Lebanon, a song where he is sad. Roni, you got a good thing going, no need to cry about it. You are young, good-looking, well-dressed, live in a giant mansion, and a gorgeous lady is in your life.

This is a good song for sure, Roni is plenty talented, his title for the song is about being stabbed with a dagger. AS if someone hit him with a knife in his back. While the images are so happy and the wedding party looks nice. The fire on curtains and dinner table are a nice touch. This is a well thought out music video, with some nice affects and gripping images.

I guess the love of his life is cheating on him with a fat bald guy....so women do not do that unless Roni you got a problem you are not telling us about.

This is creepy when you see a classic film that features all the big legends of Arabic cinema and songs with the voice of another young and coming vocalists. Here are old images and videos from well-known films, and a new song.

Rita is Lebanese and Sherif is Egyptian and together they made the sweetest deut I heard all year. Not sure how these two artists got together, but I am glad they did. Romantic songs are never out of style, and with voices like these, I am glad they did this song.

I am more impressed by Rita's voice here, she is certainly the new comer. Sherif is a music composer too, and a producer so he brings a lot to the table.

Jamila: The Best-Selling Pop Songstress Will Blow You Away #Blach_Blach

Jamila was a little known few years ago, now she is a big hit-maker whose songs are what sits the tend in Khaleeji music. Though she is Moroccan, her songs are what is popular right now in the Gulf region and outside of it as well. Jamila was born and raised in Morocco but owes much of her success to singing Emirati and Arabian Gulf songs with pitch-perfect enunciation. She is so good that her fans in the UAE struggle to believe that she is not a native to that land.

Jamila is making a colorful return with what could be her next big hit. She already has two hits this year that were like wild fire. The teaser promises a lot of cool things, and it's enough that it kicks of another catchy title "Balch Blach"

Platinum Records is surly a sinner in having picked this resourceful and creative pop star who is ruffling so many feathers and doing something exciting. Just check out her choice of wardrobe--not many female artists can do what she does.

TOP 10 Songs And Music Videos For This Week

Rotana released its top ten music videos for this week. This is a cool music video on the number ten spot, a party song from the unlikely place of Saudi Arabia, where Elvis makes an appearance. Mashael owned that song and shows so much energy and funk.

Balqees in her wedding song for the mother of the bride, then that hip Iraqi hit about being real is in the 8th place--thank you Waleed Al Shami. Then comes that Iraqi elder Hatem El Iraqi with his old-fashioned music video. He comes in the 7th place. Elissa is still looking in her mirrors and keeping the 6th spot. For the fifth spot you find that Lebanese romantic Wael Kfoury with all his dark charm. In the 4th place, one finds, Amr Diab being as cute and sweet as he has ever been.

The third spot is a comfortable place for Ahmed Gamal's flirty song about laughing with his loved one. Let's make space for the second spot with Tamer Hosny's drama about 180 degrees. He has a beard here and there is so much romance and tragedy. The top honor on this list goes for a lady that I do not know, seriously I do not know her. I should, she is in the top spot. Could it be that Yosra Mahnouch lady from the Voice? This is an Iraqi song that took the number one spot--second Iraqi track on the list.

The Original Poor Man's Singer's Welcome Return @hakimmusicegypt

While most singers like to film their music videos in fancy resorts, and exotic locations, one Egyptian pop star and hit-maker begged to differ. Hakeem went deep inside one of those Egyptian slums and filmed his music video there. To his credit, these were the folks that embraced him as an artist first. They are the kind people who work hard and tend to be loyal.

Hakim wanted to highlight their plight and show the other side of Egypt, not necessarily to shame governments but to celebrate survival.

This is a song about the hard-working and resourceful people. It's worth mentioning that the director of this music video is the same director who directed Hakim in two other songs that we have come to love "Al Salmo Alykom" and "Habooso""

the song's title is "Aam Salama" or uncle Salam, a common name. Kicking off with an Egyptian Mawal then jumping into the pop song. Hakim is not letting ho of how he was once Egypt's top go to artists for songs that are close to the streets. The song is about life and how people change. Hakim is known for these songs. It's a sobering song about how people hurt each other.

Omran Salem Fills Me With Sadness And Shame #Palestine #GazaUnderAttack

Now that all Palestine is revolting.....here's a song that inspires one to cry. 
This is a new song recorded by the son of Nablus Salem Omran, it's a song that should full every Arab with shame, and every Palestinian with sadness. A song that asks the Lord to come to the rescue and about the land of conflicts, but the artist does one clever thing, he includes footage of Egyptian talking heads talking shit on Palestine. There are sad times, there's only God, no brother no support from assholes. I think this is sad because this will for sure push the people of Gaza to radicalism. Salem did a great job here with his voice that's filled with humility and sadness. His voice promises many and delivers a lot more.

I know Israel is in the wrong--they just murdered four boys playing soccer on the beach, the images are too graphic. They say they are moral, and I hope they better not believe it.

This actually maybe good as the people of Gaza will learn to fend for themselves, and be resourceful and create something out of nothing. The lyrics are soft, but they have been written by Qassim Al Najjar the loudest folksy singer in Palestine. No matter what Egypt is always going to be close to us, not the regime of right now. Let's remember, it was the Egyptian administration who turned in Gaza to the Israelis in 1967. Palestinians at that time were banned from having guns.... and now people like Okasha and Amr Mostafa, they are enjoying the murder of Palestinians.

The Voice Has Little Voice # MBCTheVoice

Mahmoud Abeidah started a bidding war on the Voice. The young singer did an impressive cover for an beloved Arabic song that sent the judges to fight with each other with hands. It seems that Sherine liked this guy first and wanted him to be on her team, but Assi Hillani wanted him as well but Sherine won't let him press that button.

Saber El Robaei also wanted him on his team, but still Sherine fought for him and won. Sherine added Mahoud to her lineup of artists despite all the interest from the other judges. Meanwhile, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Libya and Palestine are not doing well and losing young men and women every minute.

But Sherine was grateful, she thanked God for allowing her to get this talent on her side. He is a good singer with a nice voice. I am not sure what is his story, but he hails form Egypt and he does look like every other young Arab man and woman in the Arab streets. The song he did a cover for is a track form Fayza Ahmed's.

There are countless of young artists who have been gifted a soothing voice. Out of those thousands, we only know about a 100. Which makes it unfair for all the bright talents out there who are vying for one's attention. So, let's try and check the new artists out and be nice. It's not easy to be a new comers nor is it cheap. Most of your favorite pop stars had to start somewhere.

Start with Mahmood Al Shafei and his song about the local grocery store. Swing by Abdullah Al Hmeem & Monia duet. Then give Mohammed Ghazi some time as he sings and keep on mind that he is also the music composer behind the song. And finish with the catchy titled song by Khalil Mustafa who just wants to forget and live.

One Of Egypt's Finest Female Artists Stunning Return! @GhadaRajab

Ghada Rajab has finally found a winning formula...working with A list lyricists and musicians to allow her unattached vocal muscles to shine. The thing with Ghada is that she is super talented and has a wide range of vocal talents. She has not tried to be cool before, just an amazing vocalist who can deliver amazing songs. In my book when it comes to female artists in Egypt there are four big names--Ghada is on that list.

Now, it's 2015 and she is ready to compete on the pop turf and so far I am impressed by her new single. "Nawyalak" Aside from Ghada who is a world-class talent, look at the team....

Ghada Rajab - Nawyalak
Lyrics: Ayman Bahgat Amar
Composer : Amr Mostafa
Arranger : Tooma

These four names if not the biggest names in Egyptian pop are the greatest names. They know what works and they certainly know how to make a hit fly. It's a an upbeat song, with catchy lyrics that grab the listeners attention before it gets in the details. It's a song that shows both love and war all at once.

Ramy Sabry is about to release a fresh pop album and I am honesty excited for it. Why? Ramy Sabry is a gifted composer, and a savvy singer, he picks winners and sounds so good. Here's one single form the album and it checks out all the box.

Ramy sounds here like himself but with fresher music and crispier lyrics. The sound arrangement shows thoughtful work. He may deny that he is the next Amr Diab, but when it comes to making top-notch songs, he has no rivals.

Ramy wrote the music for this song "Nefsaha Teshofni", a song about the emotional state and the mind games one in love has to endure. Do we go to the loved one or do we play it cool? Not the first song tackling this topic, but Ramy is one of the few ones who did it so well. It really reminds me of an Amr Diab song "We Heyah 'Amlah Eih Delwaqit

Nassif Zeytoun is the last iconic young singer who graduated from Star Academy and won the title. Now the charming Syrian vocalist is touring the world for his music tour. But before he hit the road, he stopped by a major music event in Lebanon where tourists and locals gather to enjoy wonderful music.

Nassif Zeytoun set the stage on fire and sang his heart out--too bad it was not life performance. The capable singer took his charm and fired up the attendees. He was not short on energy and the fans ate that up. This is a raw talent that has shown so much excitement.

See some highlights from the event and few of his signature songs. I think we are winner here to see a bright young artist who is doing all the right things and delivering solid songs frequently.
