These Songs Are In Majida El-Roumi 2012 Album Ghazl "غزل"


You will see the album early July 2012, from the Lebanese diva Majida El-Roumi. 14 track of pure golden tracks. Composed by all the ebest composers in the Arab World...where do we begin? Abel Rab Idris, Kathem El Saher, Marwan Khoury, Melhim Barakat, Ellie Choury. The music arrangement and production of all tracks will be overseen by Jean Marie Riachi who has challenged himself by promising a stunning album all around

The album will have a big marketing bonanza, as Majida will headline a number of music festivals in Lebanon and around the Arab world. Ghazal is the title of the album, Flirting as a title even though there is no one song with that title. The album comes 6 and half years after El-Roumi's last album that has received so many positive reviews.  

The music orchestra was conduced with the Budapest Orchestra and mastered in Paris. WE will get various musical treats from the romantic ones, to classical jazz and classical Arabic music. Want more awesome news? Majida wrote 8 lyrics out of the 14, so we are seeing a poet phase that Majida is shedding. I am certain some of those poems/lyrics will attest to her true talent and her high sense of maturity.

Composer Melhim Barakat went out for this album he made one of the most notable songs in the album with a live orchestra of at least two minutes before the song kick into Arabic Tarab style music bringing in Majida into transitional mood form the romantic one into the dreamy one into the groove one in just one song. You cannot study this kind of music, you grow into it. That what makes a perfect ballad, like Melhim and Majida did once before with E3tazalt El Gharam

If you like diferent things, there is one song whose lyrics came from a Nizar Qabany poem and its music come from Kathem Al Saher. The house of the Rahbanis also have a song in the album as well, Majida's late father put the music for that track. The album also brings in some world figures into play like that of Charlie Chaplin and the Russian legendary composer Dimitri Shostakovich.

This is beginning to feel like the album where the best in their craft meet and bring their A game to add to this accomplishment diva. I trust the producers have a heavy task to make this album consistent and flow from one track into another without dramatically affecting the feel of the album as a whole and each song.
