Samira Said has a new album of 14 songs on the way, released in two parts. The first part is due in the first week of November; no date has been set for the second. The title will be announced closer to release.

The album took about two years to make, and Said chose the 14 songs from 30 to 40 she listened to. Most are in Egyptian Arabic, with one song in Moroccan dialect in the first part. Composers include Amr Mostafa, Bilal Sorour and Mahmoud El Esseily, with lyrics by writers such as Tamer Hussein and Mohamed El Shafei.

It is planned as a visual album: five full music videos are finished and the other songs will get visualizers, under the direction of her manager Nidal Hany. Her own company, SS Production, produces it, and Digital Sound distributes it.

The release lands on the 11th anniversary of her album Ayza A'eesh. Watch for the first part on the music platforms in the first week of November; the exact day and the album's name have not been announced yet.
