Sherine Returns with New Single, "El Hodn Shok"

Egyptian superstar Sherine Abdel-Wahab is finally back with a brand new single, "El Hodn Shok."

The track, released on Friday, is written and composed by Aziz El Shafei, with music distributor Hatem Abdel Aziz (Touma) handling the distribution, mixing and mastering.

On April 19, Shafei teased the collaboration on social media and shared a video of himself with music distributor Hatem Abdel Aziz (Touma) from a recording studio.

In the footage, the composer expressed the fan's longing for Sherine, to which Touma stressed that it was a mutual feeling. 

The video also shows the 44-year-old artist performing a part of the track, her first new music after long absence.

Sherine had already begun preparing her new album, holding initial work sessions with several music producers as part of a plan to gradually resume her artistic activities in the coming period. 

The project had been put on hold due to a recent health setback, making the clip a pleasant surprise for her fans.

The album is set to be released during the summer of 2026.

In the new album, Sherine collaborates with a slew of the most prominent figures in the music scene, including Aziz El Shafei, Amr Mostafa, Madian,  Tamer Hussein, and Touma. The album is expected to include a mix of romantic and dramatic songs, along with a number of fast-paced summer songs.

She is also teaming up with superstar Mohamed Hamaki on a duet, which is featured on his long- anticipated album and has already been recorded.

Sherine recently went viral after making a rare appearance on social media after a long absence.

The hitmaker took to TikTok to share a sweet video alongside her daughter Hana, sending warm Eid al-Fitr wishes to her fans. 

In her latest appearance, Sherine wore comfortable loungewear, often referred to as "Eid pyjamas," and appearing relaxed and makeup free.

The mother-daughter duo even sang a verse from her hit song "Aktar w Aktar" (More and More), creating an atmosphere filled with joy and a warm family spirit.

The appearance reassured the singer’s fans about her health and psychological condition and brought her back into the spotlight after a period of silence that extended since her participation in the Mawazine Festival in Morocco last year.
