The Lebanese artist Maritta El Helani has returned to the music scene with a new dramatic single titled "Solo," which explores the pain and emotions following heartbreak. This marks her first release since her separation from producer Kamel Abi Khalil.

Maritta surprised her fans with a radical transformation in her appearance, ditching her long black hair for a short cut dyed dark brown with copper-red highlights—a look described by followers as "bold and sincere," reflecting deep personal and psychological meanings.

The new song was released on Maritta’s official YouTube channel and social media platforms, accompanied by a simple, youthful music video filmed on the streets of Paris.

In the video, the daughter of the singer Assi El Helani is seen wandering sadly through the alleys near the Eiffel Tower in the opening scenes. Suddenly, the mood shifts to moments of liberation, laughter, and spontaneity, as if she is rising above her sorrow and choosing to move forward.

Artistic Maturity

The work received widespread acclaim from the audience, who praised Maritta’s artistic maturity and her evolving ability to express her feelings. Many viewed the song as a subtle narration of her personal life story, especially after her brief marriage experience.

It is worth mentioning that Maritta El Helani was linked to Lebanese producer Kamel Abi Khalil in 2023, before the couple quietly announced their separation without delving into private details, maintaining mutual respect.
