Review by Maddie Loebbaka

The short:

An icon from the golden age of Arab music, Egyptian-Libyan singer Hamid Al Shaeri deserves all the accolades for his pioneering journey into the genre of Habibi funk.

The long:

With an ability to seamlessly blend his vocals with both synth notes (such as those found in Maktoub Aleina) and acoustic melodies (heard in Ouda’s guitar backbone), Hamid Al Shaeri makes songs with a strong yet lighthearted rhythm that caters to any audience.

To listen or not to listen:

Listen! Al Shaeri’s timeless sound proves perfect for any situation.
