Hamada Helal surprises fans

Egyptian singer Hamada Helal surprised his fans by releasing his new album "Matolhash" (Don’t Say it) on Thursday, despite several postponements. Helal said his new album is an important step in his artistic career, with the album featuring new beats and music styles. He said the reason the album release has been postponed several times is because he decided to edit the album in the UAE not in Egypt. Sources said he travelled abroad to produce the record himself and to avoid the album being leaked in the internet. He said he was happy to contribute with producer Tarek Abdullah on this album. The songs in the album include: "Shouf Ya Habibi" (Look My Love), "Al Zena Al Aklaa" (the Pretty and Cute). He cooperated with poets and composers including Hany Abdulkarim, Nour Abdullah, Mohamed Goma and Hossam Al Begarmy.
