The year 2013 was the year of the International Nasheed scene. Some produced some of the very best of their album in the most imaginable form. Some produced the simplest of forms: their voice; but packaged in an interesting and unique arrangement. It is safe to say that 2013 was one of the pinnacle of the rise and rise of the Islamic Entertainment, with the introduction of newer artist and ever-improving existing Nasheed artist.
2013 also bear witness to newer form of Nasheed artist: the emergence of the artist from the social media and video-sharing websites, such as YouTube.com. If you have been following the progress of the industry as much as us, you would understand that with the flooding of talents in the industry, both the old and the new, in selecting the best of the best and setting an example for the others to achieve and rivalled. The bar of excellence in this industry has been raised to a phenomenal height, making the Editor’s Choice a difficult, but a rewarding experience to us Munsyeed Dot Com Team.
To get you off to a great start to a new year, we presents you the best 8 songs from the selected 100 that made part of the Nasheed world in the year 2013. This list was prepared with the help of the Munsyeed staff, in ensuring that we choose those that are original, proper arrangement and one that strikes deep within our hearts.
In retrospect, the year 2013 was the year where we could witness a positive breakthrough in this industry, ranging from well-known international stars, up-an-coming artists and even a healthy participation of indie artists. Not to be forgotten are the appearance of newer recording studios that cater exclusively to this industry, signalling a positive growth of Nasheed in the international level. Who are these people, you may wonder? For now, we leave it as a surprise, as we expect a whole new level of compilation and songs are coming up in the year of 2014.
Let us pray for this positive rise and be entertained by them, Insyallah. – Munsyeed Dot Com
