Regarding his new song, “Bil Ahlam,” Zaytoun said during his private interview with “Sky News Arabia”: “The new song is written and composed by Nabil Khoury, distributed by Suleiman Damian and directed by Elie Fahd, and this team worked with great love to release a song worthy of the audience, which is produced by string and “Music Is My.” Live”.
He added: “Sometimes we find repetition in the method of preparation, and the method of subtraction, so we liked to present the work in a new way, especially since the song’s style is completely new to me, whether in words, melodies, or even distribution, as well as the method of launching a new song with the video clip.” .
Zaytoun says that he chooses songs “at the whim of my feelings, in proportion to the appropriate atmosphere of the topic and subtraction, and when I released “With Dreams” I followed my feelings, and thus I choose all my songs in general in proportion to what touches me or resembles me.”
Same for Rahbani
And about the poets and composers with whom he intends to cooperate and has not achieved this matter yet, he said: “I am honored by every person who gives me a melody, content, or valuable intellectual stock he has, and if I must mention the names, I say that my eyes are greatly on Ziad Rahbani, as well as Ali Ziad Boutros, Marwan Khoury, and Samir Sfeir. As for the poets, circumstances did not allow me to cooperate with Nizar Francis, or Mounir Bou Assaf, and they are all professors in their fields.
Zaitoun tells Sky News Arabia details of his life before fame, saying: “I was an ordinary person, I studied music, and learned to play the violin, but I left that later, and when I was sixteen I learned the basics of playing the oud, then I discovered that I am not a lute, but I use The Oud is only to accompany singing, then I became interested in singing more, and applied to the Higher Institute of Music in Damascus, and was rejected in my first year because I did not know how to read musical notes, then I studied it and advanced in the second year and was accepted. To join Star Academy, and after I won this program to start my career in the world of singing.”
You are not messing with me
Regarding his memories of his first album, “Ya Summat”, which was released in 2013, which included his most successful songs, “Larmik Bebalash”, “Mesh Am Tbtbt With Me”, and “Sawt Rababa”, he said: “I still remember almost everything about how to choose and record songs. I extend my greetings and thanks to everyone who made this work that launched me in my early days, and I still sing 90 percent of its content in my concerts, so this album is for me content that I am proud of and appreciate its creators.”
But did Zeitoun’s selection criteria for songs differ between yesterday and today?
“The method of choosing songs did not differ for me, but certainly the quality of presenting songs differed between yesterday and today, but I come back to say that the beauty of those songs lies in their simplicity, and every time I listen to them I remember my beautiful beginnings, but in general what I add to these criteria is that I am more meticulous in The lyrics of the songs, as well as I tend more to provide spinning in the themes of the songs.”
Regarding his previous statement to Sky News Arabia that the song “Majbour” constituted a qualitative leap in the series’ badges, he said: “This statement annoyed some who considered it a strong statement from a new person on the artistic scene, but the truth is that “Majbour” and everyone who contributed to its creation constituted a turning point. In changing the badges of series in the Arab world, and this is a fact and reality, as all series badges after the song “Majbour” have become similar to it, and they are making series badges in a similar way.”
Jealousy of the Sultan of Tarab
As for the jealousy he feels from the stardom and success of the Sultan of Tarab, George Wassouf, he declared: “George Wassouf is also one of the very, very tall statures in Syria, and I do not remember how I said these words, and how they were understood, but I ask myself today: You are jealous of George Wassouf, but Can you be his size? No – and can you present the size of the art that he presented? No, I am jealous of all the giants, and I say no because there is no greater than these names who have preceded me by generations, and I hope to leave an art similar to the one they presented in the future, and in general the woe He lives in the conscience of every Syrian, Lebanese and Arab.
