Album Information
Angham collaborated with the same composers and lyricists who worked on "Betheb Meen" record. However, she kept her same style of songs like in the previous years, improving the tracks' arrangements only. Magabsh Serty is the last song that Angham worked on with music composer, Riyad elHamshari, who died in 2007. He previously worked with Angham in two tracks from "Wahadaniya" (Lonely Woman) record: "Baatly Nazra" (Send Me A Glance) and "Bethebbaha Walla" (Do You Love Her Or What).
Angham recalls how she was excited to record "Magabsh Serty" (Did He Mention Me) song, which was the first track to be recorded and inserted in the record. The quick-tempo urban track features gossips murmurs effect on the tape version, while it does not contain it on the CD. On the other hand, "Leih Sebtaha" instrumental is only available on the CD version. It is the second song to have an instrumental after "Wahadaniya" (Lonely Woman) in 1999, and the last one because Angham found it a useless idea. Because of its popularity, "Sidi Wisalak" was remixed twice by DJ Mufti and DJ Ali, but however the two remixes were released as singles on the Internet, after two years, due to copyrights restriction. The same song was featured in "Sahar elLayali" (Sleepless Nights) movie which was nominated as Best Foreign Film in Oscar Awards in 2003. "Ana Indak" (I'm At Your Place) features a telephone voice message in the interlude of the track. Angham said she got inspired by this idea when she tried to call someone on her cellphone during a pause between the recordings and got an answer machine back. She communicated the concept with arrangist, Tarek Madkour, who applied the effect instantly. "Tedhak Alaya" (You Laugh At Me) is the first Gulf song sung by a non-Gulf singer that stood for more than three months in Kuwait, Dubai and UAE charts.

“What a long strange trip it’s been.”

“Many more children observe attitudes, values and ways different from or in conflict with those of their families, social networks, and institutions. Yet today’s young people are no more mature or capable of handling the increased conflicting and often stimulating information they receive than were young people of the past, who received the information and had more adult control of and advice about the information they did receive.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
