Ruby kicked out of the Musician Union

A the time that Egyptian singer Roubi is awaiting her big return to the scenes with the release of her new album "Misheet Wara Ihsasi" (I Followed my Feelings), a decision was made by the Egyptian Musician Union to eliminate her from the union. The singer's membership was cancelled along with a number of singers who were considered to be unfit and lack any real talent.

Many singers who made most of their living by singing in nightclubs were removed from the Union, and who had obtained their membership through unlawful means.

Roubi along with other provocative female singers were accused of luring young females to a lifestyle that is unethical and against social standards.

The singer had gone through numerous obstacles to become a member of the Union and was forced to pay a large sum of money to do so.

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 Ruby.

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” 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.

Ruby 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.
