Arab Idol Mohammed Assaf is all set to unleash his first album titled 'ASSAF'.

Platinum Records announced that the official launch is set for October 15, but those who are on iTunes Deluxe and Anghami+ will be able to download a sneak peek today.

After the "Arab Idol" Season-2 victory, the Palestinian singer teamed up with an extraordinary line-up of composers, producers and songwriters to compose the collection of 11 tracks. There's also two bonus tracks on the digital release.

Ziad Burji collaborated on several songs, including "Taah Neaad" and "La Wayn Brouh", which is the first song released from the album.

The video is shot by South African director Jac Mulder.

Other names that added to the line-up include Egyptian composer Mohammed Rahim, who contributed a romantic ballad "Mtfareen", and a regional hit with an electric hook with "Aywa Haghani".

Singer and songwriter Melhem Barakat contributed "Shou Betkhabrouna", a composition in typical Barakat style, with an upbeat production.

"ASSAF" also features a traditional Palestinian song, "Ward Al Assayel" and a modern Iraqi chobi track titled "Ya Bnaya".
