Lebanese singer Diana Haddad has postponed the release of her upcoming album "Diana 2006". The singer revealed that she will release the album ten days before the World Cup 2006 Championship ends.

Diana’s duet, "Mas wa Loulou" (Diamonds and Pearls), recorded with Algerian Rai singer Cheb Khaled for the album, is already witnessing significant success.

Diana held a promotional campaign, including numerous performances around the Arab world, starting in Cairo. A signing ceremony is to be held at Virgin Mega Stores in Cairo.

The singer will be honored in Cairo by the Arab Network, ART as the ‘Best Arab Singer’ along with Egyptian singer Mohammad Foad. 

Diana filmed the music video for the duet under the direction of Laila Kannaan, who will also film the second video.  Diana has yet to select the second song, waiting to see the initial reaction of her fans.

The album, produced by ‘Alam El Phan Production Company,’ was postponed before due to a serious car accident Diana suffered. The album features nine songs sung in various dialects.
