Guy Manoukian's masterpiece
Posted: 06-06-2009 , 03:56 GMT
EMI Music Arabia is proud to announce the astounding release of Guy
Manoukian's brand new studio album "Assouman". A Manoukian journey
which articulates a fresh collection of his new two-type talent. The
first half of Assouman orchestrates classical Guy Manoukian Oriental
tracks, while the second part of the album introduces you to a new
taste of Guy's International experiences.
Guy Manoukian is the one and only charismatic Lebanese/Armenian
Musician, Composer and incredibly talented Pianist. He is the
Superstar also known as the undisputed Showman King and master of
Oriental Instrumental Music.
Guy has many accolades including winning the Best Dance Album awards
at both the Arabian/ Armenian Music Awards, in addition to being a
Multi Platinum selling EMI Artist (REG Project/Solo career). Guy is
the first artist from Arabia to be endorsed by Yamaha and has
performed around the world WOWING massive audiences from Sydney to
Beirut. If that isn't enough to convince you of his all round fusion
talent and worldwide success, he has also collaborated with
International Superstars like Wyclef Jean, 50 Cent, Raul Di Blasio and
French Rapper Diams and is currently producing a song for Shakira.
Guy is raising the bar with this 3rd studio album in which he has been
working across the globe for the past two years to produce it and will
be released by EMI Music internationally.
`The album is by far my best work ever'¦ Guy Manoukian
The Album "Assouman' consists of 13 amazing WORLDCLASS tracks all
potential hits and is presented uniquely in two facets. One facet
Oriental flavored and the other facet world class International music
depicting the multi talents of this Artist.
The (Oriental flavored) is an extension line of what was the ground
breaking sound of `Harem' that Guy created approximately 10 years
ago. `Harem' was a track picked up by Buddha Bar's legendary Claude
Challe on the album New Oriental and till date is a classic musical
masterpiece.
The (International) consists of Guy's new style which is based on
collaborations with International artists and directed towards a
broader International audience.
Key tracks within the first facet (Oriental flavored) of the album
include the album title track "Assouman" which in Persian means the
`clear sky'. This is an upbeat oriental/ethnic house tune which is
based on a fusion of suka, house and oriental beats with a modern
oriental melody twist fused with a blend of Arabic, Armenian, Assyrian
and Chaldean influence.
`Noritz' featuring Miguel Luiz and Shahzade are fantastic tracks that
represent a new trend of fusion music Oriental Regatton, "Ralanass"
another potential HIT has an Andalucian flavor emphasized with the
amazing guitar solo from Jef Harutsi.
"To my Son" is a piece of musical art that was written the day he knew
he was going to become a father.... it's by far Guy's favorite
piece... the music is considered pure Lebanese. In addition Guy
represents his deep roots to his Armenian Side.... in `Sonzey" and
"Diaspora"
The second part (International) starts with "Doe A Deer" a whopping
dance track written by World renowned Tabia Parker who has written
Shakira's "Hips Don't lie" and features Jamaican sensation
Brukup. This is simply HOT!
"Shooting Star" is a cracking radio Pop Dance track featuring the
rising star Leyla and American Rapper `Dash'. A catchy first single
stands firm to be a radio hit across the region with a stunning and
raunchy video to support.
"Work Baby Work" featuring Nicole and "Vibes" featuring Lucina will be
Radio/Club favorites for this summer taking into consideration their
simple melodies and state of the art arrangements and beats...
With a great mix of world class tracks, a World Tour scheduled
throughout 2009 as well as a massive promotional campaign scheduled
for the release of the album with all Virgin Megastores in the region
and EMI's international marketing presence globally.
`Assouman" has the perfect ingredients for a phenomenal success
regionally and internationally in 2009.
