Ahl Al Esheg is the second studio album by Lebanese pop singer-songwriter Diana Haddad, released by Stallions Records on February 10, 1997. Ahl Al Esheg is Haddad's third best-selling studio album behind Ammanih and Saken, which were certified platinum by Stallions Records.

Background and recording

[edit]

Haddad and her husband, Khaliji director Suhail Al-Abdul, wrote the songs for the album during Saken's era.[clarification needed] The track "Anida", written and produced by Emad Shams Al Din, was released as the album's first promotional only single. "Anida" was originally intended to be on Saken. The single "Ammanih", which was on Ahl Al Esheg, was later released as the lead single of her third album, Ammanih.

Promotion

[edit]

The album played on Arabic TV channels such as the Middle East Broadcasting Center, Arab Radio and Television Network, and the Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation.

Dubai had billboards of Haddad, paid for by her record label, to promote the album. The album was released in several editions and was supported by several appearances at festivals across the Arab world.
