Released on 15 July, the new music video El-Zou' El-Aali, which brings together Mohamed Mounir and Tamer Hosny, reached #1 on 'Charts for Trending music' and almost 6 million views on YouTube. The success comes shortly before Hosny's appearance at the New Alamein Festival. The duet between The King and The Star of the Generation - as both are often referred to - marks their first-ever collaboration. It is part of Tamer Hosny's album Leena Maad (We Have a Date). Composed by Mohamed Raheem to lyrics by Tamer Hussien, the song blends two generations of Egyptian music—Mounir's deep traditional voice and Hosny's modern pop sensibility. The song extols elegance and beauty, describing the muse's high taste and charm that lifts spirits and evokes springtime imagery. Commenting to the media about his new album, Hosny described working with Mounir as a monumental artistic honour and a career milestone. The King Born on 10 October 1954, in Manshiyat Nubia, a village in Aswan, southern Egypt, Mohamed Mounir's music and distinctive voice have captivated millions across the Arab world for decades. Mounir has become one of Egypt's most iconic singers, known for blending Nubian roots with modern genres, like pop and jazz. As his popularity grew significantly, Mounir quickly became beloved by many fans. Mounir's musical repertoire comprises 20 albums and numerous singles, each showcasing his ability to blend Nubian sounds with contemporary music. His lyrics often tackle themes of love, freedom, retrospection, and social justice, resonating with audiences across generations. Tamer Hosny's collaborations Creative collaborations are among the highlights of the 47-year-old singer and songwriter. Hosny came to the limelight in early 2002 through his mixtape collaborations with Egyptian star Sherine. Since then, Hosny has become one of the most prominent pop stars in Egypt and the wider Arab world, releasing over 13 top-selling albums. His music has been featured in several television series and is performed extensively across the region. Hosny has collaborated with international artists, including Snoop Dogg and Shaggy. He also collaborated with Arab musicians, such as Rim Banna, Latifa, Souad Massi, and Ramy Sabry. Besides Mohamed Mounir, the Leena Maad album also includes other collaborations with artists such as Karim Osama, El-Waili, Reda El-Bahrawy, and Ahmed Bahr Kozbara. 3rd New Alamein Festival The new album comes shortly before Hosny's appearance at the star-studded New Alamein Festival, scheduled on Friday, 25 July.

Ahmed Saad lights up summer with first part of new album - Music - Arts & Culture
Egyptian singer Ahmed Saad has released the first part of his new album, Beyestahbel, which features cheerful, summer-themed tracks that have already gained significant traction across streaming platforms, shedding light on his collaboration with Amr Saad and Ruby. Released on 16 July, the first part of the album features five tracks: the title song Beyestahbel, Akhouya (a collaboration with his brother, Amr Saad), Mekassarat, Tany (a duet with Ruby), and Batta. The second part will be released on 24 July and will include five additional tracks. The already released songs are filled with upbeat rhythms and playful tone, marking a continuation of Saad's signature style while offering a fresh, carefree sound that resonates with listeners during the peak of the season. Beyestahbel (loosely translated to Playing Dumb) is a light‑hearted, playful, and a bit tongue‑in‑cheek song that frames a character who "pretends to be silly." The song serves as a microcosm of the album's style: humorous, upbeat, experimental, and aimed squarely at summer listeners seeking energetic and relatable content. Another track, titled Akhouya (My Brother), features the singer's brother, actor Amr Saad. The lyrics emphasise siblings' emotional bonding, trust, and mutual support, especially in the face of adversity. Third in line comes Mekassarat, a song that conveys a message of saying "no" to perfectionism and stress, advocating for personal well-being and mental peace over societal pressure. It captures the carefree essence of summer and 'mental liberation'. The music video quickly rose to the top of YouTube, garnering almost 700,000 views in just four days and ranking #3 on the Charts for Trending music. In turn, the song titled Tany (Again) garnered almost 1 million views on YouTube, in large part due to Saad's collaboration with well-known singer Ruby. This is the second time the two singers have collaborated, after the success of their previous 2023 hit Ya Layaly. The song's lyrics are built around a playful, light-hearted concept of encountering someone "again" and questioning why they have returned now, especially after one has moved on. Similar to other songs from the album, Tany's music video relies on vibrant summer aesthetics—bold outfits, playful banter, and expressive choreography—matching the upbeat nature of the song. The final song in the set is titled Batta, a fun and comedic song whose lyrics describe a confident and captivating woman who stands out in any crowd, with her unique presence and the effect she has on those around her. All five songs from the first part of the Beyestahbel album garnered between 400,000 and 1 million views so far. Complementing the summer vibes, the songs blend traditional shaabi elements with contemporary pop and dance influences, with each being accompanied by a visually compelling music video. Directed by renowned filmmakers like Taha El-Tounsi and Ahmed Abdel-Wahid, the videos are characterised by their high production values and engaging narratives. Ahmed Saad The 43-year-old pop and shaabi singer came to the limelight in 2003, releasing several albums and many successful hits since then. His single Aleky Eyoun, released in 2022, has garnered over 300 million views on YouTube. Saad often collaborates with various Arab musicians, including Assala, Ruby, Hany Shaker, and Bahaa Sultan.
