On the other hand, the Syrian megastar shared a glimpse of what to expect from her upcoming Egyptian album with the release of the medley "Leheqt Nafsy".

The album consists of six songs and is produced by Rotana record label.

Nasri released her last album “La Tastaslim” (Do not Give Up) in September 2021. 

In the album, she cooperated with a large number of poets and composers, including Badr Abdel Mohsen, Azouf, Muhammad Abu Nimah, Yasser Buali, Muhammad bin Abdulaziz, and Saudi bin Muhammad al-Abdullah al-Faisal.

Assala Mostafa Hatem Nasri, better known by the mononym, Assala, is one of the best female singers in the Middle East.

She was born in Damascus to a middle-class couple, her father Moustafa Nasry, was a well-known Syrian composer and singer.

The superstar began her musical career by performing patriotic, religious, and children’s songs when she was four years old.

Assala made her music debut with the 1991 album “Law Ta’rafou”. The album featured four songs in the oriental operatic tarab style. It was an instant hit with heartbreaking songs like “Ya Sabra Yana” and “Samehtak Ketir”.

She quickly proved her presence in a growing industry brimming with new, young talent such as Saber Rebai, Angham, and Abdelmajeed Abdullah.

Assala booked herself a place along with the Arab singing legends among great albums over two decades.
