Julia Boutros - Bi Saraha

Julia Boutros' releases may be far apart, but the effort put into the beautiful music is always evident. Her 2001 album is, as most of her later albums are, composed by her brother Ziad and written by Nabil Abou Abdo. While the album is not as memorable as her runaway hit La B'ahlamak, there are beautiful ballads to be heard here like Kelmeh Aal Waraq, Ma Maraq, and Bi Saraha. There are more playful songs too, like Elna Mazha and Wa'd Alayeh, though the former is a little more interesting. Nashid El Horriyeh, Nehna El Sawra Wel Ghadab, and Ma Am Befham Arabi are songs with political messages, which Julia has never shied from. Never one to skimp on musical quality, the list of musicians is full of famous musicians like Claude Chalhoub, Tony Anka, and Hani Siblini. For those who liked the Bahr Al Nojoum soundtrack, here's some trivia: Jessy Jleilaty is part of Julia's chorus on this album.

Fella - Tashakkourat

Like Asalah, Fella Ababsa comes from a musical family and is the daughter of renowned Algerian musician Abdelhamid Ababsa. Fella's aunt Laila, sister Naima, and brother Najib, are popular singers in their home country as well. Baligh Hamdi, who musically adopted Mayada El Hennawi and Samira Said before her, and Sabah supported Fella's entry into the Egyptian music scene. Fella was soon jailed and banned from Egypt, but the reasons for career-crippling ban remain unclear. Fella returned to Algeria, and she became one of the country's most famous modern singers. Years later, Fella finally used her connections in Lebanon to sign a contract with Rotana and work on a new album.

Tashakkourat was composed by some of Lebanon's top composers; Elias Rahbani, Tarek Abou Jaoudeh, Azar Habib, and George Marderosian. Much like her life, Fella's music has a bit of everything, and she even sings in Turkish on Tashakkourat and French on Kan. Shaka Baka and the title song are the sort of upbeat song Fella excels in, while Dakhlak Ya Lail is in Elias Rahbani's signature style. Kan feels like a French ballad, while Abkaitani feels more oriental. In 2001, Tashakkourat introduced her to the Arab world finally, and the playful Fella has slowly become one of the staples of the Arabic music scene.

Amal Hijazi - Akher Gharam

Amal Hijazi's debut album was producer Jean Saliba's second major undertaking, after he launched Elissa in 1998. However, Amal differentiated herself from the beginning. Much like Elissa before her, and Myriam Faris, Cyrine, Melissa, and Rayan after her, Amal's debut album features many Turkish composers. For example, the album's first single Rayeh Balak is a remake of Yeşim Salkım's Kavanoz Dipli Dunya. However, unlike the aforementioned singers' debuts, the majority of the album is composed by Arab composers like Tarek Abou Jaoudeh, Marwan Khoury, Hassan Abou El S'oud and Jean-Marie Riachi. The hit title song is composed by the late Azar Habib and arranged by Jean-Marie Riachi in a style that melds Arabic mawals and strings with flamenco-pop. When compared to Amal's latest offerings, it is obvious how much Amal has grown as an artist and matured.

Asalah - Ya Akhi Es'al

Asalah's forays into the Khaliji genre began in the 1990s, but Ya Akhi Es'al is arguably her first truly successful Khaliji album. She worked with some of the top composers, such as Dr. Yacoub Al Khubaizi (Leih El Ghorour, Samehna), who composed some of her most successful later work too (Misheit Senin, Afwan) as well as Dina Hayek's summer 2007 hit, Jarreb El Ghira. The title track, Ya Akhi Es'al, is composed by Tarek Mohamed, the man behind so many of Nawal's recent hits, such as Inta Tayyeb, Tebgha El Sedeg, and Agsa Kalami. The songs tend to be traditional, however some songs like Leih El Ghorour and Samehna incorporate piano and bouzouk also.

Assi Al Hillani - Etr El Mahabba

Lebanese singer Assi Al Hillani has built a reputation of excellence, and though this album is early in his chain of successes, it remains one of his most memorable albums. Assi, as always, explores countless styles in this album. Dayem Doum (Always Forever) is a typical Boudi Naoum composition, with an upbeat western pop feel, while songs like Samma'ni Kalam, Howara, and Telli have a more authentic Lebanese feel. Oyounou Al Shawq (Eyes of Love) and Admantou Hawaki (I Am Addicted to Your Love) both show Assi experimenting with poetry in fos'ha (classical) Arabic, but while the former has a classical Arabic feel, similar to Kadim Al Sahir, the latter combines both classical and modern elements, something that was relatively new in 2001, and was done also by Yuri Mrakadi in Arabiyon Ana that year.
