Diana Haddad returns with Egyptian dialect single

Lebanese singer Diana Haddad revealed she will return soon with a new single in the Egyptian dialect, through which she says she made a great success all over the Arab world.
In an interview with Arab Today, Haddad expressed her keenness to diversify in her works and sing in different Arab dialects to satisfy the biggest number of audience from the Persian Gulf to the Atlantic.
“The lyrics and the music I present always come in the first place when I am choosing singles,” said Haddad adding that focusing on one song only is much better than working on more than 10 songs at the same time in terms of quality.
Haddad first found fame in 1992 as a 16-year-old performer on the Lebanese television talent showcase Studio El Fan. Her popularity on the show led to her 1996 debut recording, the Lebanese folk-inspired album Saken.
Most singers and production companies follow this strategy which is much safer particularly from the financial point of view, she added.
The Lebanese star, who is one of the most popular Arabic pop musicians in the Arab World and has been so since the mid-1990s, said she considers reviewing some other songs offers from Lebanese and Egyptian composers but noted that she will be selective.
Her debut album Saken (1996) was one of the best selling albums of 1996, being certified platinum by Haddad's label Stallions Records. The album also introduced Haddad and her Bedouin music style to the public.
