Ruby postponed for a fourth time

After it was scheduled to be released before the New Year, Egyptian director/producer Sharif Sabri has decided to postpone the release of the upcoming album for Egyptian singer Roubi.

Sharif stated that he has delayed the release until the beginning January, due to the instability of the record industry and the release of so many albums for prominent singers like Egyptian Amr Diab.

The album “Misheet Wara Ihsasi” (I Followed my Feelings) is waiting to be launched and the singer has filmed the main song “Misheet Wara Ihsasi” in the form of a music video to release with the album.

The clip was directed by Ruby’s business manager Sharif, who stressed that the video is different from any other Ruby has filmed.

Roubi will present a new style of dancing in the clip, featuring new steps she created herself. The singer had gone on a strict diet especially for the clip, which was filmed in the tourist city of Sharm El Sheikh – Egypt.

The album will mark Ruby’s return to the spotlight after a year long absence. It features eight songs varying in style from oriental and western. The songs are considered different from anything the singer has presented in the past.

Ruby stated that before she had sang and danced for mere amusement, but in this particular album she placed extra efforts to bring out her best in the hope of meeting the expectations of her fans.

Ruby has admitted that she has fallen in love, but refused to reveal the identity of the man who has captured her heart. The singer is “head over heals” with her new love, and does not know where the relationship will lead.

Ruby revealed that she does not know if she is ready to make a serious commitment, like marriage, at this point in her life and take on such a responsibility.

Ruby in love

Ruby has admitted that she has fallen in love, but refused to reveal the identity of the man who has captured her heart. The singer is “head over heals” with her new love, and does not know where the relationship will lead.

Roubi revealed that she does not know if she is ready to make a serious commitment, like marriage, at this point in her life and take on such a responsibility.

Fans in Egypt and around the Arab world are anxiously waiting the release of Ruby's upcoming album.

On a different note, Ruby failed the bar examination to allow her to practice law in Egypt for a third time.

Initially, Ruby said she would not make a fourth attempt, but her mother and sister have convinced her otherwise.

Roubi was in shock when she read her name on the list of people who failed the exam. She had prepared for several months, even turning down several offers to hold concerts.

Ruby’s younger sister, Kooky, said that her sister had even made arrangements with a major law firm in Egypt to begin as an associate.

Ruby feeds the hungry

Roubi and her mother are holding charity ‘Iftars,’ holiday meals for the Muslim holy month Ramadan, in the neighborhood where she was raised. Providing food for the needy during Ramadan, referred to as ‘Mawa’ed Al Rahman’ (The Merciful’s Feasts), has become a trend among many Egyptian artists.

Two years ago Roubi, along with her mother and sister Kooky, moved out of their old neighborhood. “I have great memories of our neighborhood,” said Ruby, and people always there always extended their support. Ruby still visits since she has many family members living there.

On a different note, Ruby has failed the bar examination to allow her to practice law in Egypt for a third time, and has fallen into a state of depression.

Ruby was in shock when she read her name on the list of people who failed the exam. She had dedicated her time to studying over the past few months, even turning down several offers to hold concerts.

Ruby’s younger sister, Kooky, said that her sister was so sure she would pass the exam this year that she had made arrangements with a major law firm in Egypt to begin as an associate.

Initially, Ruby said she would not make a fourth attempt, but her mother and sister have convinced her otherwise.
