Following El Leilah Di, his 2007 summer release, Diab returns with his latest from Rotana titled Wayah. Much like any typical Diab record, Wayah is exploding with foot-tapping synthesized beats that rise to dance floor crescendos, tuneful harmonies and lyrics, a few ballads here a there and a couple of traditional arabic pop numbers.
Don't get me wrong, while I can groove to practically any Diab song, Wayah much like his last 5 or 6 records, all seem to remain guarded, expected and well, erring on the forgettable and the insipid.
Highlights of the album are the lamenting Be'edt Leih, (the album's underrated gem, with haunting melodies and lyrics about the desertion of the beloved) Ainee wana Shayfo, a pulsating dance track and the vibrant Kollo Ella Habibi.
