• Rotana TV began airing Mohammed Abdo's coming soon ads in the beginning of Ramadan. Now, they have begun airing coming soon ads for Mohammed Fouad and Wael Kfoury. It doesn't take a genius to figure out when these albums are all coming out! The Eid album hype season is open for business!

• Nawal El Zoghbi is fulfilling her return to record label Rotana in 2 months according to her calculations. Nawal is currently putting the finishing touches on the album in Egypt. She has worked with many composers and songwriters but kept the details to herself. The report on Rotana's Akher Al Akhbar showed Nawal listening to a ballad with electric guitar, composed by Amr Mustafa. The few details she did divulge were that she was working with Amr Mustafa, Mohammed Rahim, and the 2-month deadline. Nawal also said that there will be numerous styles on the album, ranging from maqsoom, to Western, to what she called "cha-cha".

• Mohammed, the Syrian winner of X Factor's second season, also met with Akher Al Akhbar after performing in Rotana Cafe, Syria. The 17-year-old singer told the reporter that he has an Egyptian and a Khaliji single coming up. One video clip will be shot soon for one of the singles, and the album should follow afterwards. The remainder of the album is expected to be in the Lebanese dialect.

• Saudi legend, Fanan El Arab Mohammed Abdo, is expected to release his new album after the Eid festivals. Rotana viewers must already know as Rotana has gone out of its way to advertise the upcoming album.

• Superstar Elissa is currently in Egypt working on her album, having already chosen the songs. Her new album's Eid El Fitr release has been postponed indefinitely but should appear by New Year's.

• Myriam Fares is currently recording her new album in Jean-Marie Riachi's studio in Lebanon as you read this. Her new single will be in the Khaliji dialect, but the rest of the album will be predominantly Egyptian. No release date has been set yet for the release of the album.

That’s All For Now!
