Press Conference Planned in Cairo
Nawal El Zoghbi is scheduled to hold a press conference in Cairo in September 2025, following the full release of the album. The event will serve as a celebration of the project’s success and a direct engagement with her Egyptian fanbase, which she has consistently acknowledged and supported throughout her career.
Tia Diab Collaborates on Visual Design
In a personal creative touch, El Zoghbi enlisted the help of her daughter, Tia Diab, to design the visual look for one of the album’s songs. The collaboration brought an added layer of artistic and familial flair to the project.
Fifth Song on the Way; More to Follow
The fifth track from the album, titled “Kan Leek Wahsha”, is set for release by the end of July. The Egyptian song will be followed by five additional tracks scheduled to drop sequentially throughout August and September, rounding out the complete album experience.
Staggered Release Strategy: A Song-by-Song Focus
Addressing fans’ questions regarding the staggered release schedule, El Zoghbi explained her approach via X (formerly Twitter): “Every track on this album was crafted as if it were a standalone hit. Each one deserves its own spotlight, which is why I’ve chosen to release them individually.”
She added: “Releasing the entire album at once often results in some songs being overlooked. My goal is to let every song reach the audience with its full impact.”
