Tommy Drops Stripped-Down Acoustic Rework of 'El Rawya' EP
Stripping back the electronic production, 'El Rwaya (Acoustic Version)' offers intimate, one-take sessions of Tommyy's biggest tracks, led by voice, piano, and raw storytelling at its most honest. Jun 30, 2025 After taking the region by storm with his breakout 'El Rwaya' EP, Egyptian artist Tommyy returns with a stripped-back rework of the project: 'El Rwaya (Acoustic Version)'. Releasing via M-Town Records, the new EP reimagines four standout tracks - 'Taree2 Egbari', 'Emshy', 'Etghayart' and 'Mekameleen' - as intimate, one-take live performances accompanied by Galaleo on acoustic piano. Known for his viral TikTok performances and genre-fluid vocal delivery, Tommyy now shifts the focus from production to pure presence. No autotune, no processing, just voice, piano, and emotional clarity. The result is a raw, poetic document of healing and heartbreak, recorded live in minimalist sessions that bring the artist closer to his fans than ever. 'I made 'El Rwaya' to escape," Tommyy shares with SceneNoise. "The acoustic version is me confronting everything I ran from.' The original 'El Rwaya' EP reached millions across DSPs and made major waves on Spotify MENA, Anghami, and Billboard Arabia, with the track 'Emshy' hitting Top 3 in Egypt and trending on TikTok with over 857K user-generated videos. This acoustic rework is a personal one. A fan-requested release and a creative reset, 'El Rwaya (Acoustic Version)' offers a rare kind of vulnerability in today's landscape: live, lyric-driven, and unfiltered.

Tommyy Reimagines Hit EP ‘El Rwaya' with Galaleo in a Raw, Acoustic Session
Egyptian breakout artist Tommyy returns with a new layer of intimacy on El Rwaya (Live Version) —a stripped-back, one-take reinterpretation of his viral EP, collaborating with versatile songwriter, composer, and producer Galaleo, who accompanies him on piano. The project trades heavy production for emotional clarity, revealing the core of Tommyy's storytelling. Tommyy is giving fans exactly what they asked for—an unfiltered, acoustic retelling of his most vulnerable work to date. Dropping today, June 30, El Rwaya (Live Version) is a four-track acoustic project that sees Tommyy shedding the layered production in favor of piano, presence, and pure vocal storytelling. With Galaleo on piano, each track— 'Taree2 Egbari,' 'Emshy,' 'Etghayart,' and 'Mekamleen' —was recorded in a single take: live, raw, and emotionally charged. 'I made El Rwaya to escape,' Tommyy says. 'The acoustic version is me confronting everything I ran from.' The original EP—a blend of Arabic lyrics and deep house beats—made serious waves, garnering over 46 million streams in less than six months, and inspiring hundreds of thousands of TikTok creations. Tommyy quickly became a standout voice in the region's ever-evolving sonic identity. Now, with this stripped-down version, Tommyy invites listeners into his heartspace—no autotune, no gloss, just the essence of what made El Rwaya resonate in the first place. It's a bold move in a market oversaturated with synthetic production, and proof that storytelling and soul still cut through. El Rwaya (Live Version) drops today, Monday, June 30 at 8 PM Cairo time.
