Lebanese singer Assi Hilani will put on his Sindibad and begin a series of performances around the Arab world and abroad next month. The singer’s tour features concerts in Morocco, Lebanon, Qatar, Rome, London, and Paris.

Assi has revealed that he is ecstatic about meeting his international fans, and their love makes him strive to give his best.

 

In regard to preparations for his upcoming album, Assi intends on keeping the matter secret while his current album “Izgheereh El Dinia” (It is a Small World) is still new and witnessing tremendous success.
 
Assi has denied circulating rumors that a major dispute broke out between him and Saeed Al Marouq, the director of his music videos, and affirmed that he is not seeking a new director.

 

His cooperation with director Jamil Al Maghazi  for his last two music videos, “Izgheereh El Dini” (It’s a Small World) and “Habibi Ya Nasini,” does not imply that he is on bad terms with Saeed, Assi explained.

 

Assi revealed that he plans on working with Saeed for his next music video for the song “Sineen” (Years).


The singer confirmed that he is not bound to one director or producer, and working with different talents helps him add continuity to his videos.

 

The singer’s contract with Rotana ended with the release of his latest album, and he does anticipate resigning with them. The video for “Habibi Ya Nasini” aired exclusively on Rotana’s satellite music channel.
