After a long absence, prominent Syrian/Lebanese singer George Wassouf is making a comeback to the scenes with the new album “Hia Al Ayam” (It’s the Days). The album is scheduled for release in stores during this July and is produced by the production company Rotana.

George has worked with a number of prominent composers and poets. The album is said to feature some new styles that the singer will introduce for the first time.

Wassouf’s last appearance on the scenes was the single “Ya Mariam Hasna’ Al Hayat” (Oh Mariam you are the delight of Life).

The last album the singer released was “It’khart Ikteer” (You are too late), featuring five only songs.

A year ago, George suffered severe bronchial infections forcing him to call of a number of scheduled concerts around the Arab world.

During an interview George revealed that he had been ill for the past two years and no one had graced him with a phone call to inquire about his condition.
