Pop Singer Nourzi Releases New Single ‘Zakir’

elf: Lebanese pop singer Nourzi released her first song, “Zakir”, to launch her career as a solo singer. The lyrics of the song “Zakir”, written in Lebanese dialect, express hope and self-love despite the hurt feelings for loss of loved ones.
Nourzi was inspired to write the song’s lyrics by her mother and the reality of the power outage in Lebanon.
Commenting on the matter, Noorzi said, “I was visiting my parents’ house when the power went out, which prompted me to spend some time playing guitar. The passages of the song flowed seamlessly with the overwhelming emotions I felt in those moments, and the lyrics reflect my state of losing a part of my personality with the end of the relationship with people.Then I played the song in front of my mother, who expressed her opinion with the words and the melodies. Little did I know at the time that I was going to release this song after a year as my solo song and share it with the whole world”.
At the end of his song, Nourzy deftly switches between Arabic and English. “I wanted to include both languages ​​in my first song, because I’ve been singing to it since I was a kid,” she says. This allowed her to freely express feelings of pain and heartbreak over her latest relationship.
The video, shot in the Lebanese city of Jounieh, showcases Nourzi’s vital and creative energy with some movement and framing appropriate to the song’s lyrics, and includes scenes of florist’s carts, cakes and spinners of local girls, who participated spontaneously at the shoot.
The cotton candy shot reflects Nourzi’s decision to launch her career as a solo pop singer, in clear reference to the video clip that brought her together with her fellow singers in Karisma.

Nourzi appeared with Charisma during her concert tour with The5, and several of the band’s songs gained widespread popularity, such as “Haga Ghair” and “Helwat Al-Hayat”. Nourzi tries to continue her musical career as a solo singer, especially after her success in Karisma, a pop group made up of three young singers from different regions of the Middle East.
Nourzi added, “The time has come to fulfill my dream of launching myself as a solo artist and singer.”

The Lebanese singer-songwriter, currently residing in the United Arab Emirates, is 25 years old. Her musical career began at the age of just 11 when she enrolled at the Lebanese National Higher Conservatory of Music to learn to sing and play the violin.

After winning Virgin Radio Lebanon’s youth music contest, Nourzi won the #singforthe5 contest organized by Clean & Clear. As a result, Sony Music Entertainment Middle East signed Norzi, one of the lead singers of the three-girl group Karisma, for two consecutive music projects.

Norzi has starred in the band Charisma’s tours of the Middle East and several of the band’s videos have garnered great views. The year 2019 also saw the band’s collaboration with Sunsilk Arabia and Vice Arabia to produce the lyric video titled “Ma Ana Banat” as part of the Women’s Empowerment Campaign, aiming to highlight the importance of women’s role in the industry musical.
