ZeeZee Adel, Arabic pop newest sensation has released a album that only promises a bright future for both the artists and her fans. After too many Arabic pop albums bored even its most loyal of fans, I find ZeeZee’s performance refreshing. ZeeZee not only breaks down new barriers for Arab female artists, but more importantly, it’s just a pleasure to listen to her songs. Past female music videos have portrayed them as either uptight one-dimensional characters or promiscuous dolls. ZeeZee introduces us to a new type; the funky gal. I’d be damned if I did not compliment her rather exotic look and also the awesome album cover. ZeeZee’s new marvel is largely an enjoyable record that gives as much attention to melody as creativity and marketing. However, the dozen tracks on “Waa’d Alya” offer more in the way of groove and texture than they do in emotions. I maintain that the difference between a mediocre Arabic pop album and a grand one tends to be the music video. Yes, some parts are cheesy, but overall, I think the music video suits the funky lyrics.
Here is the music video.

Posted by programmer craig | February 20, 2009, 1:05 pmOKAY can we put aside the ‘war of the worlds’ for just a sec and focus on said prodigious artist ‘ZEE ZEE.’
Sanitizer,
just like your politics your choice of this ‘TART’ does not surprise me! First of all, and I know this will kill you. Much like Hebrew, Arabic does not have the ability to flow to an Rand B beat. It is awkward, choppy and the rests feel contrived and artificial.
But just like your politics she’s 100 superficial with no true substance! Although a strikingly natural (for a change) beauty reminiscent of Jessica Alba…maybe she has a future in film but not in music!
Posted by Anonymous | February 21, 2009, 5:18 amMy appreciation of pop stopped in about 1978 but that ain’t bad! She does look most chewy.
Posted by xoggoth | February 21, 2009, 5:21 ami would post up some stuff about real arabic music here, rather than this pop bullshit which represents 1% of reality in the middle east.

Posted by Anonymous | February 21, 2009, 9:08 amWhat will music be like when we get to that Star Trek utopia of a united world with all national cultures eliminated? White noise possibly.
Don’t get put off from doing a few lighter items by hostile comments here. Trivia can actually break down some barriers, if you can think of someone that “actually, they are not so different” that has a positive effect that can spill over even into consideration of the serious issues.

Posted by Arayus | February 21, 2009, 7:29 pmShe’s too dark. Masri for sure. I don’t know where they found this ugly duckling, but she can’t dance and she can’t sing. I’ve seen goats with more rhythm. I’m sure she can suck some fine… and I wish I was the one she slept with to get this gig, but let’s face it, the girl’s a dud.
Posted by Anonymous | February 22, 2009, 2:35 amKabob isn’t reporting videos like this. I wonder why. Remember when we heard about Hamas breaking legs of Fatah collaborators in Gaza? It’s all so neat and clean in black and white letters. Behind each pair of those broken legs is a human being.
Watch for yourself how acts the Palestinian government of Gaza.
