That purely contains Khaliji
dialect songs only.
Haddad was notably the first Lebanese singer to release a 100% Khaliji album in 2002. A commercial success that received favorable reviews from the critics.
Haddad returns to the music scene with Men Diana Ela..., a Khaliji album from beginning to end. The styles range from pop and ballads to the traditional. Some songs use typical Arabic beats (be it from the Persian Gulf or Iraq), while others use styles that border on Latin, African, and Indian music.
Never one to depend on one lyricist or musician, Diana works with a number of composers
on this album.
The Virgin Mega Store's management described the album as the best selling album in its stores, beating the sales of Nawal al kuwaitia ( both albums released in the same week ), but the album's sales went down after two months only because of negligence from the producing company leading the people to buy the fake copies of the album.
