Amal Maher releases long-awaited new album Haga Gheir - Music - Arts & Culture
Renowned Egyptian singer Amal Maher released her new album, Haga Gheir (Something Different), on Sunday, 20 July, her first full-length album since 2019's Asl El-Ahsas. At the beginning of the 2020s, the 40-year-old star made a brief return with a handful of singles, maintaining a low profile. This was through a five-track EP, Ana Kwaiesa (I'm Fine), released in 2023, marking a return to her fans through concerts across the Arab region. The long-awaited new full album Haga Gheir consists of 10 new songs. Its release on YouTube and music streaming platforms further underscores her complete artistic resurgence. Days before the full album's release, Maher dropped one song, Khabar Agel (Breaking News), on 15 July. The song's music video soon reached 300,000 views on YouTube, paving the way for the consecutive nine tracks unveiled on Sunday. The songs quickly resonated with Maher's fans, with music videos of Odet Hayato (The Obsession of His Life) and Nseit Esmy (I Forgot My Name) racking up over 60,000 views within just hours of their release. The album showcases diverse themes and modern musical styles, reflecting the artist's ever-evolving creative journey. The Haga Gheir track blends traditional Arabic melodic patterns with modern pop production, creating a fresh yet familiar sound. The orchestration includes rich strings layered with electronic beats, emphasizing Amal's powerful vocal delivery. Equally pronounced pulsating electronic beats and synth layers open Nseit Esmy, a track that fuses Spanish guitar with mainstream Arabic pop. Latin accents are additionally emphasized by a music video presenting flamenco dancers. Emotional ballad Leh Sektu? (Why Did You Stay Silent?) blends classical guitar with Arabic rhythms and rich oriental percussion. Another romantic ballad, Law Leena Omr (If We Had Time), evokes a cinematic feel through its arrangement, which capitalizes on open string lines and layered harmonic textures, laying a rich carpet for Maher's vocal showcase. The emotional release comes with solo piano, allowing listeners to savour the song's melancholy. Maher's album stands out through a compelling blend of traditional Arabic elements and contemporary influences, topped with electronic beats, pulsating synths, and flamenco-inspired Latin twists. In all those creative meanders, Maher's voice finds a great platform to shine, showcasing its many values that only reassure us of her incredible talent, skills, and emotional depth, all of which continue to thrive. In this album, Maher collaborated with a select group of renowned lyricists, including many tracks penned by Nader Abdullah, as well as composers such as Madian, Mohamady, Ahmed Zaeem, Amr El Shazly, Islam Refaat, and Ayman Bahgat Kamar. This helped her bring diversity and richness to the style and content. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:
