According to Rotana Musica Nancy Ajram is planning a new video clip experiment she started working on with director "Walid Naseef."
Fans will be in control of creating her video clip! She says: "The director presented his idea to me and I loved it because social media is very important and it is important to remain close to our fans, especially when you realize the amount of love and devotion they hold towards you. We loved the idea and we will be the first ones to present it.
Director Waleed Nassif talked of choosing Nancy: "she is "Nancy Ajram!" I thank her for the confidence she has put in me and this unusual idea. There is no doubt that "Nancy" is very active in social media, which is very important. We need a strong base in order to go through with this project. I'm sure the expereince will encourage a lot of her fans to communicate with her via social media outlets. I invite all of her fans, wherever they are in the world, to be part of this project.
Nancy is happy to be leading the way towards a new trend that everyone will be following in the future and thinks Walid's idea is a trendsetter.
This will be the first video clip released from Nancy's new album.

Kanye West is the master of innovation; he is making sure his new album gets noticed. So what did the rapper do?! On Friday night he actually projected his latest song, "New Slaves," along with visuals on buildings across the globe!
The video was projected at various times throughout the night on 66 buildings in cities including New York, Toronto, Chicago, London, Paris and Berlin.
The song is spiced up with a black and white image of West singing while the lyrics speak of race and oppression "I know that we're the new slaves, I see the blood on the leaves."
The original album promo marks the launch of West's sixth studio album, which is expected to be due out on June 18th.
Check out West's Projection of "New Slaves" below:

Teenage girls screamed on top of their voices last night at the Sevens Stadium in Dubai. That's the norm with 19 year old Justin Bieber who debuted his first concert in Dubai Saturday May 4, 2013.
"Dubai are you ready to have some fun tonight?" The Biebs asked the packed up stadium as the screams got louder.
"What's up Dubai?" "This is my first time in Dubai and I love you so much that I decided to add another day." The young singer was spotted walking on the beach earlier in the day before his concert heating up tweets of him and his entourage.
Bieber sang his popular hits 'Caching Feelings," 'One Time', 'Eenie Meenie' and 'Somebody to Love'.
Videos played on the screen, tracing Bieber's evolution as a young kid becoming a YouTube sensation and a star.
'Never Say Never' and 'Beauty and the Beat' as well as his hits, 'Boyfriend' and, of course, the song that started it all, 'Baby' stopped short of wowing on his Middle East fans.
The timing followed by a school day and Bieber's tardiness to start the concert promptly have been the only pest as many kids had to leave at 11:00 so as not to miss their schools yet others stayed late and reported absent; all for the sake of Bieber Fever!
Barbadian sensation Rihanna is coming to Dubai on October 19th as part of her Diamonds World Tour. Rihanna's live concert will take place at the Yas Island on Saturday 19th of October. Pre-sale tickets will be sold exclusively for du customers for 48 hours ONLY from Monday May 6th until May 8th.
