Marwan Khoury – Ana Wil Lail
I’ve been craving for some new music for a while now and I’ve been hunting for this album in the market for a more than a month now, finally found it today in Carrefour.
Marwan Khoury is a Lebanese singer/song-writer/music-composer, he has started as a musician and was a a band leader for some of the famous Lebanese singers such as Wael Kfouri and Sabah. He released his first album in the year 2003, but only became really successful when he released his song ‘Kel Al Qasayid’ and last year he had a huge hit duo with Carol Samaha. Marwan Khoury has written and composed songs for artists like Elissa, Asalah, Majidah Al Rumi, and even Abdul Majeed Abdullah! He is a whole-set artist who writes, composes and sings his own songs. His brothers Dany and Caude do his musical production.
I just got his new album called “Ana Wl Leil” (That’s how they like to spell it?!), and it’s nice. I have track 3 (Awlak) on repeat, can’t get enough of it! The album has the due with Carol (Ya Rabb) and a remix of it as well!
There is something about cheesy love Lebanese songs that makes me just never get enough of them!
(BTW, Marwan is signed to Rotana production house, so his original CD costs RO 1.5 only (less than $4!), Rotana has lowered the prices of music CD from RO 5 to RO 1.5 – the best move ever to fight piracy! Buying new Arabic CDs is now very tempting!)
Check out the video for Ya Rabb with Carol Samaha below (with lame English subtitles!):
