Helawiyaat el-Ayoon

...Or a little Levantine eye-candy.

This shiny young thing is one Jad Choueiri, a rising Lebanese singer/producer. His last album had a genuinely catchy/loungy sort of song on it called "Beirut", and his earlier song "Benadilak" ("Calling You") has a video that gives you an only slightly idealized glimpse of what the Jeunesse Dorée are up in this part of the world.

His dancing may be a little naff, but, O Dear, there really is something about those eyes...
