The highlight of the evening was the premiere of her music video “Sodfa” at Anghami Lab and the takeover of Dalia Mubarak on Riyadh Boulevard Square screens at the significant time of 11:11 PM, a collaboration that was made possible with the support of two leading Saudi entities, Riyadh Season and Boulevard Riyadh City. Beyond her performance, she also shared some inspirations and untold stories behind each track with the audience which included representatives from Saudi and regional press, prominent composers, and poets who worked on her album, as well as her fans, family, and the management team of Anghami, Warner Music MENA, and HuManagement, highlighting widespread support for her musical journey.
Expressing deep gratitude, Dalia, the celebrated Saudi pop artist, shared: “I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Warner Music MENA for their invaluable support and to Anghami & Anghami Lab for being the incredible hosts to the launch of my new Album in my beloved, Riyadh. Sharing this significant milestone with the people I cherish was a profound honor, all the love for the incredible support.”
