Lebanese singer Haifa Wahbi has headed off to the United States of America, where she is scheduled to hold four concerts in different states. This trip marks the first time in her career that Haifa will hold performances in the US and will take her to Boston, Las Vegas, and San Francisco.
According to the London based Elaph, upon her return, Haifa will resume preparations for the release of her second album, which she has already filmed one song from in the form of a video clip. Wahbi had repeatedly announced in different interviews that she does not consider herself to be a singer but rather a performer who sings what suits her voice. Haifa’s comments made people wonder why she would say such statements especially after achieving a large popularity in such a short time into her singing career.
The answer was in her new video clip “Ya Hayat Albi”, which was filmed in Tarablus and Saida in Lebanon, directed by Saleem Turk. Haifa performs the role of a servant, in a Cinderella-like story, who goes to the fish market and buys fish and then vegetables to prepare for a party in the palace she works in.
When she returns, all the servants begin dancing with her, then the light fades away, and she is shown changing her outfit to attend the party at the palace. Haifa did not show much of her body in the clip but used other talents, like seductive moves and starts to sing and dance with the prince who was stunned by her beauty.
Haifa went far in seduction and in the way she repeated certain words and gave seductive impressions to viewers. The clip did not show Haifa's talent in singing yet it showed a great talent in acting. –Albawaba.com
