In an a rare occasion of its kind and after releasing his latest album "Umri Kuluh" (All My Life) after a two year absence, Lebanese singer Wael Kfoury sent out an invitation to journalist for a press conference which he will be holding in his hometown Zahla City in Lebanon to be held Friday May 16, 2003. The singer also included in his invitation that he will be serving all his guests an outdoor lunch, made in their honor.
According to the London based Elaph, Wael feels it necessary to hold the press conference especially after the fact that he has been away from the scenes for so long. He added that he will make statements to the press explaining his disappearance. Wael stressed that he is confident that his new album will be the key for reviving his popularity that in the past years has mellowed down with the appearance of new singers to the scenes.
Wael had filmed the main song of the album "Umri Kuluh" under the direction of Mirna Abu Al Yas, which has been aired on satellite TV stations, and intends on filming a number of other songs in the form of music videos. The singer announced that a large budget has been set aside for the production of the music videos, which he hopes will meet the satisfaction of all viewers.
Wael added that there is no current dispute with his previous music production company "Studio Al Fan", where his singing career was launched. The singer had left Studio Al Fan and director Simon Asmar, who directed most of Wael's music videos in the past, and decided to go on his own and manage his career on his own, which turned out to be a huge mistake. It was apparent that Wael needed someone to guide him since after his decision his popularity died out. Wael stressed that he is still on excellent terms with his previous director Simon and will always consider him as role model and spiritual father. –Albawaba.com
