Review by Don Lichterman

Album Review: مكسوفة منك (Maksofa Mennak) by شادية (Shadia) Alright, let’s dive into this gem from way back in 1959—مكسوفة منك (Maksofa Mennak) by the legendary Egyptian singer شادية (Shadia). If you’re into Folk, World, or Country vibes with a touch of golden-era Egyptian flair, this one’s for you. Released under Philips and crafted by the dream team of composer بليغ حمدي (Baligh Hamdi) and lyricist فريال سلام (Ferial Salam), it’s got that timeless charm that just sticks with you. Now, I gotta say, the title track مكسوفة منك is an absolute knockout. It’s one of those songs where you can almost feel the emotion dripping off every note. Shadia’s voice has this velvety smoothness but also this raw honesty that makes you wanna sit down and really listen. The lyrics? Heartfelt and kinda poetic, like she’s spilling her soul out to you over some super catchy melodies. Honestly, it’s hard not to hum along after hearing it once. You know those songs that make you feel things even if you don’t fully get the words? This is one of them. Another standout is... well, okay, full disclosure—I couldn’t stop looping مكسوفة منك, so I didn’t explore much beyond it at first! But hey, isn’t that what makes great albums? When one song grabs you so hard you forget there’s more goodness waiting. Still, I did give another track a shot, and wow—it felt like stepping into a time machine. The music’s rich, warm, and packed with all these traditional instruments that just scream “Egyptian folk” without being cheesy about it. What’s wild is how fresh this album still feels despite being over 60 years old. Like, you’d think something from 1959 would sound dated, right? Nope. Credit goes to Baligh Hamdi’s genius composing—he knew how to blend classic sounds with innovative touches that keep listeners hooked. And Shadia? She’s got this effortless vibe that makes you feel like she’s singing just for you. Here’s the thing though—listening to this album made me realize how rare it is to find music that’s both deeply personal and universally relatable. These songs aren’t trying too hard; they’re just honest. And honestly? That’s why they’ve stuck around. Oh, fun fact before I wrap this up—did you know Shadia was as big a star on screen as she was in music? Like, imagine Beyoncé deciding to drop an album while also killing it in movies. Kinda puts things into perspective, huh? So yeah, whether you’re a fan of vintage Arabic music or just looking for something new (or should I say old?) to fall in love with, check out مكسوفة منك. Trust me, your ears will thank you. Plus, ain’t it cool knowing you’re jamming to tunes older than most people alive today?
