JEDDAH: Syrian artist Assala Nasri announced the release date and name of her new album, due out this summer.
Assala posted a picture on her personal Twitter account revealing information about the album produced by Stargate that is supposed to be released on August 15, titled, ”Mohtamma Bel Tafasil,” meaning “Interested in Detail.”
The lyrics were written by poet Amir Taima, and the music has been composed by Ehab Abdel Wahid.
Every day, a countdown post is being posted on Assala’s Twitter account for all her fans to stay posted because she is so popular in the Middle East.
She released her first album, in 1992, and then became one of the most important female singers in the Arab world after the release of “Lao Te’arafo” in 1993, in which she worked with leading Egyptian composers.
Assala has won many awards during her artistic career, winning the 1994 Best Artist Award in Dubai, the “Oscar for the Middle East” (Golden Knight) in 1995.
Assala participated in many Arab and international festivals including the Carthage, Jerash and Dubai festivals. She also received Bahraini citizenship after her participation in the Operetta of Love and Loyalty at the national day celebrations.
Assala Nasri’s last album was released in 2012. On this album, she collaborated with composer Hassan Shafei, writer Ayman Bahgat Qamar and singer Hossam Habib, whom she thanked on the cover of the album.
Her latest work was the weekly show “Sola” on Dubai TV, which launched its second season in November 2012, as an artistic program where artists host each episode with a separate title.
