Asala’s new album 'Nus Hala’ has been ready since last July but Rotana pushed the date of release of her album forward to Eid El Fitr. The reason for this delay was slightly disturbing; apparently Rotana was too busy with Najwa Karam and Latifa. Because these two Rotana stars were taking up the majority of the advertising space, it seemed that it would be difficult to then add another star to the mix especially someone with an outstanding history like Asala.

One begins to wonder, was the fact that Najwa Karam and Latifa were allowed to release their albums in the summer going to help their albums beat Asala’s?

Well all three have an outstanding original fan base but in the summer listeners are usually more open to listening to new things and tend to enjoy music a little bit more. However, Eid is not a horrible time to release an album especially if you have already filmed two music videos which are also ready for release for the album. So now it will be only Asala’s face plastered on billboards and filling our TV screens.
