Poster too "teenish"?

Amr Diab’s album poster harshly criticized

For the second straight time, Amr Diab’s new album poster, usually adapting the album cover, was under attack. The cover for Diab’s latest album, El Leila Di (Tonight), featured him topless, Diab was startled by the criticism at the time, citing the photographer Karim Nour as creative and audacious.

Wallpapers for the new album, Wayyah (With Her), were posted on the Egyptian leading pop singer’s official website. It depicts him tattooed on arm with an inscription of Abdallah, the name of his only son, in low rise jeans. Many of Diab’s fans think the low rise jeans is too teenish for their mature cult star.

The album track titles are as follows:

Wayyah : Lyricist Tamer Hussein, Composer Amr Mostafa
Addemt Albi : Ayman Bahgat Qamar Mostafa
Allah ala Hobbak Enta : Magdi Ennaggar Mostafa
Tammenni

Alameh said, “Ever since Amr Diab entered the music field we have repeatedly heard that his songs were leaked from his album, and I think that is a smart method to promote his songs
