Razane Jammal Makes Writing Debut with Children's Book "Lulu and Blu"

Yara Sameh
British-Lebanese actress Razane Jammal has been enthralling audiences both in the MENA region and abroad with her different roles. Now, she has another facet to her repertoire: author.
Jammal has penned her first children's book, 'Lulu and Blu."
The book, illustrated by Lebanese artist Sasha Haddad, follows Lulu, a little vegetarian lioness who doesn't quite fit in. She feels misunderstood and lonely until she meets Blu, a friendly fish with a very different worldview. Somehow, despite their wildly opposite lives, the two become best friends.
Available in both English and Arabic, the book is launching on June 25, and will be available for purchase at Antoine and Virgin Megastore in Lebanon, at Virgin Megastore and Bookworm in the UAE, Diwan Bookstore in Egypt, and online at amazon.ae.
Jammal showcased her acting talent in Marwan Hamed's blockbuster "kira & El Gin" — the third highest-grossing film in Egyptian box office history — for which she was awarded the Best Actress in a Supporting Role Award at the 49th edition of Cairo Film Society.
Jammal also made a name for herself in the international film industry with her diverse roles in French, British, and American projects, three of which have participated at the Cannes Film Festival — "Cruel Summer" (2012) by Kanye West,"Une Histoire de Fou" (2014) by Robert Guediguian, and "Carlos" (2010) by Olivier Assayas, which received a Golden Globe in 2011.

Egyptian Artists on the Rise: Spotify's Loud & Clear Report Highlights Global Reach and Independent Artist Growth

Egyptian artists are reaching new heights in the streaming world, building international audiences and growing their earnings. On the heels of World Music Day, Spotify has released its Loud & Clear report — shared for the first time in Egypt — offering a transparent look at how artists are benefiting from streaming, and how local sounds are resonating far beyond national borders. Loud & Clear, Spotify's annual music economics report, was created to bring greater clarity to the music industry by breaking down where royalties come from, how they are distributed, and who is earning. The 2024 Egypt edition paints a picture of an independent-driven music scene with global momentum and a growing local fan base. Royalties for Egyptian Artists Up 5x Since 2022 According to the report, royalties earned by Egyptian artists on Spotify have increased more than fivefold since 2022, with a 100% rise between 2023 and 2024 alone. The sharp year-on-year increase highlights growing listener engagement with Egyptian music — both at home and abroad — and reflects the continued evolution of streaming into a key source of income for artists. 'This is a pivotal moment for Egyptian music. The growth we're seeing goes beyond numbers — it signals a real shift in how artists are building audiences, careers, and cultural impact. Streaming is playing a key role in that transformation, creating new ways for artists to be heard and discovered, both locally and globally. What we've shared in Loud & Clear reflects this momentum — and it's only the start,' said Mark Abou Jaoude, Spotify's Head of Music for the Middle East, North Africa and Pakistan. Independent Sounds Take the Spotlight Independent artists and labels are at the forefront of Egypt's music scene, accounting for the majority of royalties earned in 2024. In 2024, more than 90% of royalties earned by Egyptian artists came from independent creators or labels — one of the highest independent shares globally. Genres like Mahraganat and Egyptian Hip-Hop, once considered underground, now rank among the most streamed in the country. These sounds, rooted in local culture and led by artist-owned creativity, are shaping the sonic identity of Egypt and finding resonance with listeners around the world. Egyptian Music Travels Far The data shows that Egyptian artists are increasingly finding fans across borders. In 2024, more than 80% of royalties were generated by listeners outside Egypt, including in countries like the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Indonesia, India, and Brazil. Egyptian music was discovered over 480 million times by first-time listeners on Spotify that year, signaling a surge in global interest in local talent. Spotify data also reveals that the average year-on-year growth rate of global consumption of Egyptian music has reached nearly 60% since 2018 — the year Spotify launched in the Middle East and North Africa — highlighting the growing global reach of Egyptian music. Arabic-Language Music Gains Global Traction This international reach is part of a wider cultural trend. Arabic ranked among the fastest-growing languages on Spotify in 2024, joining Greek, Telugu, Turkish, and Polish. This growth reflects a rising appetite for regional sounds and supports the expanding influence of Arabic-language artists, with Egypt playing a central role in the narrative. Local Listening on the Rise While global discovery is accelerating, domestic streaming is also gaining momentum. Domestically, Egyptian music streams on Spotify grew by over 70% in E 2024, while local listening surged nearly 450% year-on-year since 2018. Notably, more than 80% of the tracks featured on Spotify Egypt's Daily Top 50 were by Egyptian artists, underscoring the strong connection between fans and homegrown music. Backing Artists Beyond the Stream Beyond global reach, a growing number of Spotify initiatives are helping Egyptian artists translate creative momentum into sustainable careers. Programs such as RADAR Arabia, EQUAL Arabia and playlists like Fresh Finds Arabia spotlight and elevate local talent, while tools like Spotify for Artists provide real-time insights, planning resources, and promotional support for artists and their teams. This combination of access, education, and targeted support reflects the heart of Spotify's mission: to give artists the opportunity to live off their art. Streaming Powers Regional Growth The launch of Loud & Clear in Egypt comes at a time of rapid transformation across the region. According to the IFPI Global Music Report, the Middle East and North Africa was the fastest-growing recorded music market in the world in 2024, with a 22.8% increase in revenue year-on-year. Streaming made up 99.5% of that growth, underscoring its role as the economic backbone of the modern music industry. As streaming continues to reshape the global music economy, Egyptian artists are turning opportunity into impact — reaching wider audiences and building lasting careers.

Inside Lebanese Makeup Artist Sharbel Hasbany's Beauty Playbook

Makeup, at its best, is storytelling - told through colour, texture, and emotion. Few grasp this better than Sharbel Hasbany, the Lebanese makeup artist and beauty director based between Berlin and Paris, whose work has defined some of the Arab world's most recognisable faces. His roster reads like a regional who's who - Majida El Roumi, Julia Boutros, Karen Wazen, Hiba Tawaji, Huda El Mufti, Carmen Bsaibes, Hadia Ghaleb, Salma Abudeif, Wael Kfoury - yet his approach remains instinctively personal: always tailored to the face, the moment, the mood. Before the covers and campaigns, there was just a young artist with a vision - and a one-way ticket to Paris. 'Going to Atelier Maquillage Paris Modèles changed everything for me,' Hasbany tells SceneStyled . Being in Paris, surrounded by high standards and constant creativity, pushed him to refine his artistry. 'It helped me understand the balance between technique and expression, and gave me exposure to top-tier professionals and avant-garde trends.' Formal education, he says, isn't the only way in - but it gave him the confidence to take bold steps and partner with brands like Dior, Chopard, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, and Carolina Herrera. In 2018, he served as Marc Jacobs Beauty's ambassador, and later collaborated with German DJ Bonnie Strange and singer MIA. 'If I hadn't gone to school, I'd still be doing makeup, but perhaps without the same level of technical precision or industry connections.' For Hasbany, great makeup begins long before a brush is lifted. 'Makeup starts way before you pick up a brush,' he says. 'If the skin isn't prepped properly, nothing sits right - no matter how high-end the products are.' His process is extensive. Oily skin calls for lightweight, oil-free hydration; dry skin demands richer moisture. Sensitive or acne-prone skin gets treated with clinical precision. 'My trick is applying thin layers of makeup,' he reveals. 'I then set each with translucent powder and lock everything in place with a setting spray. Throughout the day, quick touch-ups using blotting papers or pressed powder keep the look fresh and intact.' He draws a clear line between real-world and editorial makeup. The latter is conceptual, built to land on camera. 'Editorial makeup isn't about looking pretty - it's about making an impact,' he explains. 'You have to think about lighting, angles, and how the makeup translates in a photograph.' When it comes to everyday beauty, he dials things back. His focus: balanced colour, enhanced features. A sculpted cheek, a bold lip, still wearable, a smoky eye that is soft rather than heavy. 'Staying ahead of trends involves a mix of constant research and immersion in the beauty world,' he says. 'I keep up with industry news through fashion shows, beauty magazines, and social media.' This fluency - moving seamlessly between the avant-garde and the wearable - is why brands like H&M, Harithand, L'Atelier Nawbar, Beesline, and Max Factor trust him. He's worked on major campaigns, from Ahmed Elfaizary's Parallel Universe to Sara Mrad's Botanical Alchemy FW24, Saiid Kobeisy's FW24 ready-to-wear, and Andrea Wazen's Laminato. Globally, his work has graced Tony Ward's SS25 couture in Paris, COLR's FW25 at Berlin Fashion Week, RVDK's Spring Couture 2025, and Kamad Paris' SS25. Still, when asked about a dream client, he doesn't hesitate. 'Bella Hadid. Zendaya. And if I could collaborate with Pat McGrath? That would be incredible.' Despite the fashion weeks and celebrity shoots, what excites him most is movement - both cultural and creative. Middle Eastern beauty, he says, is shifting. Once synonymous with full-glam and heavy contours, it's moving toward something more sculptural. 'I think we're moving toward elegance without excess. Less about layers, more about precision,' he says. 'The new luxury is about looking polished but effortless.' Still, his work always returns to its roots. Hasbany's idea of Lebanese beauty is neither pastiche nor nostalgia. Bold brows. 'Right now, I'm really inspired by clean beauty and innovative skincare ingredients,' he shares. 'The shift towards sustainability and hybrid products that blur the line between skincare and makeup is something I'm eager to explore further.' Having worked across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, Hasbany has learned to calibrate for every culture. 'In Berlin, it's all about fresh, minimal skin,' he says. In India, intricate detail and vivid colour take the lead, while South Korea prefers soft luminosity, gradient lips, and weightless brows. Thailand and Indonesia blend both - glowing skin, amped up or stripped back. The one product he won't go without? Dior's Backstage Face & Body Foundation. 'It works under any lighting, any condition - it's a staple in my kit,' he says. 'It's the kind of foundation that moves with the skin, not against it.' Lately, he's been reaching for Haus Labs - especially their Le Riot Lip Glosses and High Drama Matte Lip Crayons. 'The pigmentation is insane,' he says. The glosses deliver bold colour without compromising comfort, while the crayons glide on with velvety payoff. 'Haus Labs is really pushing performance-driven formulas with a strong aesthetic,' he adds. Shiseido's Synchro Skin Self-Refreshing Foundation is another mainstay. 'It stays fresh all day, even in heat, humidity, or under harsh lighting,' he says. Rabane Beauty, too, is on his radar for its inventive finishes and textures. But behind the glamour, Hasbany insists, lies something more disciplined. 'There's a lot of pressure,' he admits. 'You need to master technique, stay ahead of trends, and build real relationships with clients. It's not always as glamorous as it looks - there are long hours, back-to-back shoots, and constant reinvention.' One of the biggest myths? That talent is enough. 'Anyone can learn how to do a perfect eyeliner,' he says. 'What makes someone successful is their ability to bring out the best in a face - to understand not just what's trendy, but what actually works.'
