Samaha denies album rivalry

Lebanese singer Carol Samaha has denied that she will release her new album Sense at the same time as singer Tamer Hosni releases I love you. Samaha told Arabstoday that the rumour is “ridiculous” as Tamer is a “big star in Egypt and the Arab world.” The singer confided that Sense will be unlikely to damage Tamer’s album sales as the genres of music are different. She added that album release date was determined with the production company more than two months ago. “I respect Tamer and I wish him luck,” said Samaha, and “I would like to thank all the Egyptians who made my album number one in Cairo.”
