Egyptian composer and lyricist Aziz El Shafei said the absence of singer Sherine Abdel-Wahab leaves a significant artistic void, stressing that her voice has a unique quality that adds depth to any song.

He explained that Sherine’s voice carries a rare distinctiveness, giving every musical work a special dimension, which makes it hard to fill the gap left by her absence in the music scene.
