Security guards at the Egyptian Hunters club were barely able to free Lebanese singer Nicole Saba from the mob of people, who gathered to wait for the arrival of the singer. Hundreds of people, especially children had waited for over an hour for the arrival of the singer giving rise to an unexpected protest.
According to the London based Elaph, the singer arrived accompanied by Muhsin Jabr, owner of Alam El Phan Production Company, to the club where she was shocked to witness the large amounts of people who had come to see her in her first debut as a singer in Egypt. Nicole’s only public appearance in Egypt was alongside prominent Egyptian comedian-actor Adel Imam in their special preview screening of their film “A Dutch Experience”. At the time the singer was shocked to see so many people eager to see Adel, but this time the crowd had gathered to see her, a feeling the singer revealed was breathtaking.
The singer stressed that what she saw during her visit to the club is proof that Egyptians have accepted her as a singer. Nicole held a press conference expressing her joy at joining Alam El Phan and that she is very optimistic that they will help her find great success in the music industry. The singer added that the reason behind not wanting to reveal the details of her first music video was to avoid negative criticism as a new singer, and to be able to surprise people in the new idea she presented. Nicole is currently preparing to film a new music video, but she has not yet chosen a director.
Saba has been nominated for a number of films, which she will choose one to mark her second cinematic experience and hopefully achieve as much success as her first film “Al Tajruba Al Denmarkia” alongside Adel.
One of the films that Nicole has been nominated for is “45 Days) alongside Egyptian actress Hanan Turk and a number of other young actors. It has been rumored that Nicole had accepted the role in the film due to the fact that the story of the really attracted her attention, and she feels it will add tremendously to her acting career.
Nicole has been refusing all offers to star in films and television dramas, stressing that she wanted to concentrate her attention on her singing career and wants to ensure that her first album will find the success she is hoping for.
Saba has recently released her first solo music video for the song “Yali Shaghilni Beek” (I’m Occupied with you) under the direction of Nadine Labky. The director decided to present Nicole in a new style, which has not been used, as a secretary from the sixties.
In the clip, Nicole attempts to seduce her boss by certain moves and wearing somewhat revealing outfits. Saba has strongly denied circulating rumors that the idea behind the video “Ya Shaghilni Beek” originally belongs to Jiji Lamara Lebanese singer Nancy Ajram’s business manager. It was rumored that Jiji had already agreed with Nancy on filming the music video, but was shocked to learn that Nicole had stolen the idea. –Albawaba.com
