A New Female Artist .. Darine .. Aiwa


Darine

The other day I was sitting doing nothing, so I opened the TV on one of the music channels. I hummed with the music, and then I heard a new song that I have never heard before.

It was a nice female voice, modern music and Arabic lyrics … I looked up and it was a cute young girl, she has blond hair and has a slim figure … it was surprising to see a young figure singing very simple words and dancing to the very interesting melody which makes you want to stand up and move to the beat.
This girl’s name is Darine and the song is called Aiwa, an Arabic word meaning “yes”.

Try catching it on TV, and tell me what you think …

    Hey! I also saw the song....and it's pretty catchy! Anyway, I wanted to ask a question....don't you think that she's European or American or something?? And that somebody taught her the Arabic language?? That's my question. Thanks A LOT!

    P.S. If u have any info about Star Academy, plz tell me..I'm addicted to me!

    OH! I forgot! I saw a Star Academy video yesterday on LBC, it's that song 'Jaye'l Haqeeka' or what ever! But i saw the music video for it!!! It's nice, they're all wearing like dirty/army clothes and they're holding Lebanon flags and leading a crowd of people down the road.

  1. rania | May 20, 2004 3:07 AM

    Hehe, wasn't it mai? I haven't seen aywa aywa yet or even heard that song yet, and I've never heard of melodytv... is it a Lebanese channel?
    Sorry sahar, I don't know where you can buy the Star Academy CD, unless you have someone in Lebanon that could send it to you or maybe you could purchase it off the internet somewhere?
    Btw, WALEG, what happened to Strange and Weird - Part Two? I like them! Obviously, cause I was like the only one that posted on the message board. lol

    I have not heard this song yet. but for you sahar if you can't buy the cd you can go to the arabic songs web site like www.6arab.com and then go to saudi arabia and open bashar alshatii page you will find all of the songs.
    PS:the cd songs are the ones they wrote next to them in red

    Yes, I heard the song Aiwa on Melody. I must admit that I really like it. Its quite a cool song and quite different to most songs out there right now. She is also cute. It gets the thumbs UP from me.

    Hey Everyone, My name is Saleh And I live in Dubai. This is my first ever post sooo..... :-P

    Anyway :

    1) The Video of " Jay Al Haqeeqa" or however you spell it Rocks ! I love all of them in it ! They all look nice and are wearing excellent army/dirty clothes ! I love the song and I cant stop hearing it all over again!

    2) About The CD! You can buy it in many places, All the way from Tunisia to us here in the UAE! Im not sure if it came out in Iran ! But if you want one then someone has to send it to you overbroad, closest place I can think of is UAE. OR order from the internet!

    3)BACK TO THE ISSUE of Aiwa Aiwa Ghanno Ma3an LOL I love that music, I love the Tune! Its So Funny at the same time! That such a normal song turns out to be a good one LOL


    Anyway Thanks For reading this ! C ya

    Hi guys,

    I heard on the radio that Darine's album will be released tomorrow all over the middle east. She is also coming to Dubai in a couple of weeks, the DJ thinks she is going to be the biggest Arabic artist that has western style influence in her music.

    SHe is great and she has written the songs herself. I love it!

  1. selma | May 30, 2004 11:20 PM

    Does anyone know how old this girl is? I think she is trying really hard to be the Arab Britney/J.Lo. There's a singer named JoJo who came out recently in the states, Darine sounds like her a lot. I checked out her website only to learn she has no talent. Her voice is so processed, and talk about her photos! What's up with the extreme saturations! Her face is not evident at all, it just looks freaky! Her lyrics are so pathetic, im sorry if this offends anyone. Since when did she have back up dancers to be singing about them? 3aysha fil dor awy! I'd like to hear her real voice, if she has the balls to sing, lil Miss Ghetto Libanese from Sweden! Come on man, that is ridiculous!

    hahahaha, Selma you make me laugh, honestly who cares about all the hate you have inside. Aiwa is a nice innocent song like it or not. there are a lot more music out there that you can pick on, that are far more worse than this. Its sounds to me like you've got Personal issues with Darine, sort it out. Dont playa hate. Keep it up Darine you have my vote.

    Fatima
  1. Mido | May 31, 2004 12:43 PM

    Selma,

    I have to disagree with you. I bought Darines album this morning at virgin megastore and I have to say that its an awsome album. She is a breath of fresh air and is just what is needed in the arab music industry. She is different, but is that such a bad thing? Anyway I would recommend this album to anyone. Its very very good and there are 18 songs in it (Value for money).

  1. Usama | May 31, 2004 1:58 PM

    There are so simple words in the lyrics, and I can understand them, because I am learning Arabic language... Please write the transliteration and the translation of the song, plizzzzzz...

  1. Mido | June 1, 2004 7:54 PM

    Hi Guys,

    I also bought the album and there are 6 SONGS in arabic not 2. Please report the right facts. There are also 2 fantastic bonus songs. One is a very nice remix of Aiwa.

    Mido.

  1. rania | June 2, 2004 4:16 AM

    I agree with Selma... what do you guys like so much about her? She's not that great

  1. Reemah | June 5, 2004 1:08 AM

    go to www.melodyhits.tv and look on top videos. It's in the top 5 so you won't miss the "Aiwa" video!

  1. music4life | June 10, 2004 5:27 PM

    I just buy her album at virgin megastore in dubai yesterday and I think she is going to be big star. The album is a mix of songs in arabic and english but all the songs are in a very modern style.

    I think her album is very good but also very different from all the cureent arabic singers right now.

    she was born in tripoli, lebanon but moved to sweded wen she 5 years old.

    you can find more about her website: http://www.darineonline.com

  1. SomebodyOutThereInEurope | July 20, 2004 10:05 AM

    You know what?? Its true like what one person said she looks Israeli... but you cant judge a person by looks, right?? I've heard she is Lebanese from Tripoli and used to live in Sweden... I've heard some of her songs too, and shes got some songs in English... I don't find her music new to me, but I guess it's because I'm used to listening to English songs more than our Arabic songs... Anywayz... honestly I think, that the song is corny more than it's cool... But hey, its my opinion and every1s got their opinion. I'm not here badtalking about Darine, 'cuz we are not after her, we are after her music. But honestly there are much more Arab singers, who've got better music than her!

    SomebodyOutThereInEurope
  1. OnlyMe | July 20, 2004 10:59 AM

    I Think the song aiwa is nice to listen and dance to. I've also bought the album and would say to a lot of people that it is very good. You cannot compare darine with other arab singers because there is nobody like her doing the same sort of music. Its strange but I would call her style arabic R&B. She is very cute. Some people will like it and others won't thats just how it is. I just think that some people won't appreciate it because its so new and people generally find it difficult to accept something new that they don't fully understand. But hey, she's offering something different and something for us all to talk about.

  1. Aziz | July 20, 2004 11:17 AM

    I was unsure of darine until i attended her album launch party at the Kasbar in dubai on 9th July. She performed 6 song from her album and SHE ROCKED!! She was awesome, everybody danced and had a great time. For me she is gonna be a big hit. Don't listen to these negative people darine. Keep doing what you are doing. which is entertaining those who want to be entertained. You are a star in my eyes.
