Egyptian singer Ruby is preparing to head on a tour around Europe this summer marking her return to live performances after she had stopped for almost a year. The singer is also scheduled to hold live performances in Australia, reported the UAE based daily, Al Bayan.
This step comes in an attempt to compensate for the failure of her most recent album “Misheet Wara Ihsasi” (I followed my feelings), which was rejected by most record stores due to the fact that it was not making any significant sales.
Ruby’s album ‘Misheet Wara Ihsasi’ failed to meet the expected success director/producer Sharif Sabri, the singer’s business manager, had hoped for. Sharif had hoped that the singer would make a strong comeback with a new style.
The producing company for the album was in shock to discover that one month after the release of the album record stores in Egypt expressed the desire to return the album since it was not bringing in any sales.
Sources have revealed that the low rate of sales for the album is mainly due to the fact that people are not accepting Ruby in her new look, which is a conservative on. It was added that the singer has fell in a state of extreme depression over the failure of the album and is trying to seek a way with her business manager to win over the support of her fans.
The album "Misheet Wara Ihsasi" hit stores after the singer’s year long absence. It features eight songs in completely new oriental and western styles.
The highlight of the album is the song "Mish Hati'dar" (You Can't), written by Issam Abdullah and composed by Sharif Sabri. Sabri composed three other songs from the album and directed the clip for the song "Misheet Wara Ihsasi.”
The singer had launched a major campaign in the hopes of changing her image, and removing her label as an indecent singer.
Her album was the first step in the right direction for Ruby as she presents a series of high quality songs.
