Lebanese singer Pascal Mashaalani is preparing to appear in a completely new look and has traveled to Italy and France to choose from the latest fashions. The singer will then return to Lebanon to perform at the Hikma University beauty pageant, which will air live on the Lebanese Broadcasting Company ‘LBC’ satellite channel.

 

According to the London based Elaph, Pascal will also be placing the final touches on her upcoming album to have it ready for release during the summer season. The album features a collection of songs sung in the Lebanese, Egyptian and Gulf dialects.

 

Pascal has worked with a number of prominent poets and composers to ensure that her album is of the highest quality.

 

Recently, Mashaalani has denied allegations that she appeared practically nude in her most recent music video “Itghairt Alai” (You have changed). Pascal stated that she considered the clip as a shift in her career in the right direction, adding that the dress she wore was daring but not inappropriate.

 

Pascal added that the dress in the clip was in fact see-through, which is why many thought that she was semi-nude. She said that she insisted on wearing the dress to break the old image people have of her of being a traditional girl and showing her daring side.

 

Mashalaani was recently in Tunisia at the grand opening of Citroen, an event which she was specially invited to be the guest star at. Before the opening ceremony, Pascal held a press conference, organized by Citroen, and she expressed her joy at being in Tunisia and thanked the company for inviting her.

 

Pascal talked about her new look in her the clip admitting that she knows she shocked her fans. She added that it is essential for every artists to always appear in a new look to attract the largest number of audience, and the criticism she received, whether it was positive or negative, only signifies that she is on the right track of success.


Pascal added that despite the fact that she is very satisfied with the new look that director Mirna Al Khayat has presented her in, she does not know whether or not she will keep it in future clips.
