This October Lebanese singer Amal Hijazi will take part in the launching of the international rally Formula one in Japan. Amal’s presence at the rally is solely as a representative for the Middle East, and will not be holding any form of performance.
According to the London based daily, Al Sharq Al Awsat, it was revealed that an international electronics company has invited Amal to be part of the inauguration. Aside from taking part in the big event, Amal is scheduled to hold a number of performances at different festivals in the Arab world, one of which will be in Jordan alongside international singer Fuedel.
The singer is currently placing the final touches on her upcoming album, which features a collection of songs sung in the Lebanese and Egyptian styles. The singer’s latest work is a new video clip for the song “Ulha Li” (Say It To Me) from her album “Romance”.
Recently, Hijazi held a public concert in Syria that resulted in her fleeing the scene in tears. The singer had just walked on stage and performed only three songs as the crowd began stepping on the stage causing a riot, with the excuse of wanting to take pictures with the singer.
Security guards were unable to control the scene that turned into a chaos due to the large number of people forcing the singer to rush through the backstage and make a run for it. Amal was in shock at the way people had reacted and began crying screaming "what is there no order?" After the incident, the singer refused to return on stage and made a run for it on the first plane available and flew to Kuwait where she is scheduled to hold a couple of performances.
Her previous album "Zaman" had gone beyond expectations in the number of breaking figures in the music market all over the world. The twelve-song album, produced by Universal Company in Paris, held two major surprises, the first, her duet with Fuedel, written by Fuedel and Tony Abi Karam, and the second with the duo Omar and Rafi.
Amal Hijazi is an architecture Engineer, but never worked in this field, saying that she is "dedicating all my time to music, for it needs lots of time and hard work." – Albawaba.com
