Fares Karam - Janen

Though it feels like most of the Arab world believes Fares Karam's career began with his 2006 hit El Tannoura, this Studio Al Fan graduate has been crooning for over a decade. With George Marderosian, Marwan Khoury, and Imad Shamseddine, Janen has some of the best Lebanese composers. Though Fares has become centered around comedic and daring lyrics in his latest work, Janen has some great love songs like Majnoun Bani Amer, Janen, and Khayyabt Zanni as well. Rightfully the king of playful dabke today, no one does it like Fares Karam.

Amal Hijazi - Zaman

Amal Hijazi's second album is, arguably, her most successful to date, and most people usually assume that this was her debut album. When you see how many of her hits came from this album, it's easy to see why. Producer Jean Saliba's affinity for Bendeniz continues in this album, and the title song is a cover of the Turkish singer/composer's own 2001 hit of the same name. With the exception of the last two tracks, the album has an oriental flavor throughout, regardless of the style of composition. The album starts with the catchy Ed'ili, Amal's first and only collaboration with Amr Mostafa. "Prince of Rai" Faudel joins Amal on Ainak Ainak, the hit Rai song which proved again Tarek Abou Jaoudeh's diversity as a composer. Iraqis Ravi and Omar compose and sing with Amal. Waili Wah. Romansiya, composed by Mohamed Rahim, is a catchy pop song which mixes in strings and mizmar with western beats and guitar. The hit Oulhali, one of Nasser El As'ad's best songs to date, is an almost magical song which combines a pop beat with oriental strings and even Indian tabla. Zaman has something for everyone, and that's probably why it's Amal's most memorable album yet.

Asalah - Moushta'a

Asalah's 2002 album was, musically, a 180 degree shift from its predecessor, Ya Akhi Es'al. Instead of Dr. Al Khubaizi and Tarek Aakef, Mohamed Diya'eddin and Walid Saad anchor this album. Also included are Asalah's first and only collaborations with Samir Sfair and Ziad Boutros. Samir Sfair's mellow E'tef Habibi became the second single (after Ayeshni Sawani). Ziad Boutros' melancholic Mish Be Mwa'idi, Asalah's first Lebanese song, has much more substance in terms of lyrics, thanks to Nabil Abou Abdo. Walid Saad's songs are, as they usually are, ballads with lyrics that speak of lost love. However, the upbeat Mo'gaba Fik is an exception and a great change of pace for Walid. It's no secret that, at least pre-2006, ballads are what Asalah always does best. The both sad and empowering Ma Ba'ash Ana, composed by Mohamed Diya', is one of Asalah's most well-known songs to this day.

Nawal - Nawal 2002

Nawal's 2002 album brought with it one of her first pan-Arab hits, El Shoug Jabek (Love Brought You), which is an interesting musical meld of Latin and Egyptian styles. It is also one of her most extensive collaborations with Egyptian composer/arranger Tarek Aakef, who arranged six of the eleven tracks. Unlike her last two releases, western influences are scarce in this album, and she employs Khaliji and Egyptian styles throughout the album.

Nawal Al Zoghbi - Elli Tmanneito

Having cut off all ties from Rotana, Nawal signed up with Alam El Phan in 2002, after a string of hit albums (Mandam Aleik, Ma Loum, El Layali, and Toul Omri). Barely a year after Toul Omri, Nawal released Elli Tmanneito in 2002. The rushed manner of the album, and misunderstandings with the press put Nawal under heavy stress, and she stayed out of the public eye after shooting the videos for the album. The album is a mixed bag, with Latin-influenced pop, Egyptian maksoum, Moroccan, Khaliji (lyrics), Lebanese, and a remake of a Turkish song (Trekni Rouh).
