On 1 August 2001, and after a great anticipation by the huge number of fans, Aktar Wahed was released. The album's name is a short for one of the songs "Aktar Wahed Beyhebbak". It contains 10 tracks and a bonus oriental remix for the song "Wala Ala Balo". "Wala Ala Balo", a well-studied mash up of both Trance/Techno rhythms and Oriental Arabic Music. The song featured the rapper SandMan. The video on the other hand was shot in London in a discotheque. An even newer style for Amr Diab, he received a number of Platinum Awards for the sales of the album, and received his second World Music Award in Monaco in 2001 for best selling album for middle-eastern singer, the album contains a good number of significant songs like "Adeeni Rege'telek", "Ya Habeeby La", "Sadda'ni Khalas" and "Ba'edd Ellayali
Just when you thought Amr Diab couldn't possibly release better music, he goes ahead and surprises you! This album is as great as Tamally Maak-Amr's best work to date, in my opinion. There are ballads for your heart, dance tracks for your waist and feet and semi-lounge tracks for any occasion where mellow and sweet music is required. There is definitely a North African/Spanish influence in the music of these 11 songs. The guitar is used in almost every song and Amr's voice has never been better.
It's very hard to pick a favorite song since the songs are great in their own right. Having said that, I really feel an affinity to Ya Habibi La. The guitar works like a seductive goddess. The vocals and the lyrics are heart-melting
