Rotana to sue UAE singer Hussein Al-Jasmi
It was said that Al-Jasmi had broken the terms of the contract between him and Rotana by releasing a number of singles and selling them to different radio stations without getting prior approval from the company.
Al-Jasmi, however, stressed that he was convinced with what he did, and he did not believe to be at fault, as releasing the singles was something he benefited from.
Officials at the company attempted to reach a compromise with Al-Jasmi to avoid legal actions, but negotiations between the two parties fizzled out. As a result, Rotana decided to take legal actions against Al-Jasmi and filed a lawsuit.
Close contacts to the singer stated that Al-Jasmi was forced to produce a number of singles financed by him due to the fact that the company kept delaying the release of his album.
Al-Jasmi had stated that he had to release new songs to sing at concerts he had scheduled for, as he could not keep singing old songs from the album that was released in 2009. To protect his fame and the expectations of his fans, Al-Jasmi had been forced to act in this way.
A Islamic singer is a work of vocal music that is either sung a cappella or joined by percussion instruments, for example, the daf.
