Tension between Amr Diab and Rotana

Music production company Rotana has demanded that Egyptian pop star Amr Diab submit the master copy of his upcoming album, to ensure that it is released at the appropriate time, according to Rotana officials. Amr pushed to record the songs for the new album in an effort to meet the deadline set by Rotana, but suddenly decided to postpone the release, due to the recent tragic conditions that have hit the region. It was rumored that Rotana sent the demand after learning that the singer had reopened negotiations with his previous production company Alam El Phan, fearing he may leave Rotana. Supposedly Amr has been holding talks with Muhsin Jabr, owner of Alam El Phan, in order to decide on a new satellite music channel the two intend on launching.

Amr Diab - Escape from the Race of Summer Albums

I don't think they meant to say "alias", do you?

Amr Diab, Nancy and alias Escape from the Race of Summer Albums

The month of August has witnessed an actual massacre for the albums of stars. None of them succeeded in achieving relatively satisfactory sales, except for Mohamed Muneer's, Sherin Abdel wahab's 'Ah Ya Leil', and Hani Shaker's. This has led a star like Amr Diab to postpone his introduction of his new album, which was supposed to be introduced on August 22, for his fear of disappointment and failure amidst the huge quantity of albums, despite the stunning popularity of Amr Diab among the youth. Due to the approach of the entry of schools followed by Ramadan, the nearest opportunity for issuing the postponed albums would be by next Al Adha Feast.
