Egyptian artist Ramy Gamal revealed his disappointment after the media ignored his new album Ana Lwahdi (I Am Alone).
Ramy managed to top trending lists on Google and YouTube, but the media seemed to be distracted by the crisis surrounding Egypt's festival singers, which left him frustrated.
He tweeted:
"As usual and as I expected, a complete disregard from the media about my album. They only talk about festival music. This was the reaction to an artist whose entire album is trending on YouTube Music, although it was released 10 days ago. Total disregard and frustration! ... Indeed, success for my generation is very difficult ... Thank you to the colleagues who congratulated me, and thanks to my esteemed audience."
كالعادة وكما كنت متوقع تجاهل تام من الاعلام عن البومي الإعلام بيتكلم بس عن المهرجانات ..ده اللي بيحصل مع فنان البومه كامل تريند يوتيوب مزيكا بقاله ١٠ ايام منتهي التجاهل والإحباط . فعلا النجاح للجيل بتاعي صعب جدا. شكرا لزملاء المهنة اللي باركولي وللجمهور المحترم ?

A number of stars declared their support for Ramy, however.
Lebanese singer Elissa tweeted:
“Congratulations to you on your new album, Ramy, and to all fans of artistic talent. Your energy, voice and music are great and I am honored that you will also be with me on my album .. all the best, much love.”
ألف مبروك إلك ولكل محبي الفن بألبومك الجديد يا رامي. إحساسك وصوتك وموسيقتك رائعين وبيشرفني إنو هالسنة كمان رح تكون معي بألبومي. كل التوفيق والحب@RamyGamal

This album is the first since Ramy Gamal announced that he was planning to retire due to his vitiligo. If it weren't for the audience’s intervention and a number of stars who supported him to overcome his crisis, he would not have continued.
