Under complete secrecy, prominent Egyptian singer Amr Diab will release his upcoming album on July 22, 2005. He has been working on the album since the start of the year.
Amr has not revealed any details regarding his new release; neither the title nor the names of the 11 songs included on the album. The singer has collaborated with a number of prominent composers, and sought the assistance of music distributor Fahed, husband of Egyptian singer Angham.
On a different note, Amr denied rumors that he plans on running for election to become a member of the Egyptian Parliament. Amr revealed that he was in shock when he heard the news and could not understand why such a rumor was circulating.
Amr explained that his ambitions lay only in his singing career, and that he never considered entering politics.
Circulating rumors claimed that Amr will enter the Parliamentary elections, scheduled to take place immediately after the Presidential election, and that the singer has already began his new political campaign by heading back to his hometown to try and win over the support of his people.
