Lebanese singer Juana Malah is waiting for the end of Ramadan to film her upcoming music video for the song “Arabni Leak” (Get me Closer to You), part of her latest album “Hatifdal Fi Albi” (You Will Remain in My Heart).

 

The clip is scheduled for release during the Muslim holiday Eid El Fitr on the music satellite channel ‘Melody.’

 

Malah has returned to the scenes in style with her new album "Hatifdal Fi Albi." The album, produced by ‘Fame Melody,’ features seven songs composed by artists from Egypt and Lebanon.

 

Juana stated that her new album took over a year to prepare between studios in Lebanon and Egypt, explaining her long absence.  She revealed that she was not so lucky with her two previous production companies, since neither provided her continued success.
 
After a careful study of the market, the singer felt it would be in her best interest to join the company ‘Fame Melody,' which she feels will help her excel in her career and reach stardom. The singer stated that change gives every artist a sense of renewal, energy, and self confidence, and her new look reflects her actual personality.

 

Juana previously filmed a video clip for the main song of the album "Hatifdal Fi Qalbi," (You will remain n my heart) and surprisingly chose to work with controversial young, Egyptian director Jad Shweiri, whose work has been known to feature provocative scenes, often considered inappropriate for Arab audiences.

 

The singer’s fans are accustomed to Juana’s down to earth style that is close to the heart, and many criticized her for selecting Jad.

 

Jad presented a beautiful story filled with emotion in the clip he created that has been successful, and the cooperation has proven that he is capable of creating different styles of music videos, and not only seductive clips.
