Rabat – Syrian artist Assala released a new song titled “Assala” on Monday, returning to the Syrian dialect in a new release with Rotana.

Written and composed by Amjad Jomaa, the song carries a special meaning for the singer, who opened up about what returning to the Syrian dialect means to her.

For Assala, singing in the Syrian dialect brings her closer to her childhood and roots, while also reflecting a part of her artistic identity that has always remained important to her.

The song comes with an official music video that takes a different visual approach, relying on AI-generated imagery to accompany the track and give its emotional atmosphere a visual form.

“Assala” comes three months after her previous release “Aseeleen,” which has surpassed 127,000 views on YouTube, continuing her musical activity after the earlier release.

The new track also adds to a long list of songs that have shaped Assala’s career and strengthened her position in the Arab music scene. 

Tracks such as “Aktar,” “Ghalban,” “Fouq,” and “Ya Magnon” remain among the works that have stayed close to her audience over the years.

With “Assala,” she returns to the Syrian dialect in a song that carries a personal connection to her roots, while adding another chapter to her long-standing musical journey.
