Lebanese singer-songwriter Tina Yamout is coming in hot with her latest single Oyoun Al Soud.
This song is giving iconic as it is mashed up with two classic hits known in the Arab world: Jeeb El Mejwez by THE Sabah and Gana El Hawa by Abdel Halim Hafez. SO iconic.
However, Tina, being Tina, added her twist with fresh lyrics and melody, and Rayan Bailouni’s unique arrangement makes it so good that you won’t stop replaying it.
Oyoun Al Soud just dropped on all streaming platforms, and the music video on Tina’s YouTube channel is so Audrey Hepburn-coded.
The video, directed by Elie Fahed, mixes traditional Arab music with modern beats and shows beautiful mountain scenery in Lebanon.
Tina gives us all the feelings by performing in breathtaking mountain scenes and diving underwater, symbolizing the liberty of letting go and living in the present moment.
Rim Choucair did an excellent job styling Tina for the video. SHE ATE.
She rocked a pear necklace by Saiid Kobeisy, a red two-piece by Elie Baroud, and a sky-blue two-piece outfit with a pearl and pink stone necklace by Ahmad Abdullatif.
Let’s talk about the choreography—it’s killer and on fleek. It was all designed by Aya Sharaf, who blended traditional, oriental dance with a contemporary twist.
“I loved sharing this new musical experience with the world, especially by honoring two visionary musical giants in our culture, Sabah and Abdel Halim Hafez, who were known for their pioneering in oriental music with Western influences,” Tina said.
She added, “I’m super happy that older and younger generations will vibe with the song. It puts a new spin on the familiar, and I hope it makes people worry less and enjoy life more.”
The multi-talented queen is a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry. Her originality and drive to push limits are limitless.
Themes of love and self-discovery are significant throughout Tina’s songs. “Oyoun Al Soud” shows her skill in combining traditional and modern elements.
