“I’m delighted that my third album is being released today. It’s been a long wait but I hope it was well worth the wait. So much has happened over the past few years and I’ve been blessed to tour the world and meet wonderful people and fascinating places. This experience has truly inspired me whilst working on the album” said Maher Zain.
