The singer issued George Wasouf A new song, titled “Betaklam Alia”, written by Amir Ta’ima and composed by Ziad Bourji. The song was shot as a video clip, under the direction of producer Rodolph Jabri, creator of the idea and creator of the “Masirati” series, which deals with the story of Sultan al-Tarab from his childhood to the present.
Today Abu Wadih relies on self-production, which depends only on media marketing companies and does not depend on the traditional production companies that he departed from years ago when he decided to terminate his contract with Rotana and preferred to be a ruler rather than than to be governed by an exclusive contract date, and not to impose songs or melodies, not even concerts or video clips.
Today Wassouf works on the basis of “every day his day” and tries to step out of the audience despite his health crises, to work hard and reap the benefits of many years of success and repertoire rooted in the minds of viewers for more than one generation, which keeps Wassouf in the spotlight and followed by his fans.
It is not the first time that actors have been used in an Abu Wadih clip, as the directors have always relied on the participation of artists in previous clips. Some artists try to participate in any work by George Wassouf without objection. The man has love in the hearts of his fellow singers, actors and even media personalities.
So, met Abdel Moneim AmairiAndAbed FahdAnd Zina Makki, for the first time in a music video, was saved by the “Story Board”, which is the special scenario developed by director Elie Al-Samaan, in a way that looked impressive, relying on good techniques in exploiting the story romance and the struggle of two men to win the heart of a woman.
It was amazing in the words of the Egyptian poet Amir Tuaima, addressing the “old man” and mixing the words with the songs that the world had memorized. An attempt to sugarcoat or draw a new scene seemed to fail in “The Speech,” which fell into the trap of repetition. What does Wassouf’s return to sing “Any Tear of Sadness Not” by late artist Abdel Halim Hafez mean? It is a song that Wassouf himself revived in the 1990s, when it was recorded or leaked from a private party to which Abu Wadih was invited, and widely reverberated at the time.
The director, Elie Al-Samaan, gives his energy and time for the good of the song, that is very clear. Perhaps it is a successful return to the world of video clips, after a series of dramatic experiences that have not garnered consensus on its success. On the contrary, it lured him into the trap of early stardom, and today he has turned into just an outlet, trying to prove himself in the world of drama.
Perhaps the Egyptian writer Amir Tuaima could have introduced new words to George Wassouf, instead of using an old one he didn’t have, and strengthened his presence again.
