UAE plays host to “Crazy World” music video launch by rising star DD Foxx

Collaboration with famous Emirati signer Abdullah Bil Kheir positions UAE as the land of peace

Dubai, UAE, April 6, 2016:  Rising star DD Foxx launched the music video of her latest single, “Crazy World”, also featuring the famous Emirati singer Abdulla Bulkhair, which was shot exclusively in the Ras Al Khaimah area of UAE. The launch of the music video took place last evening at La Residence, Raffles Hotel in Dubai. Crazy World music video is now up on YouTube for the world to see apart from iTunes, Amazon and Anghami. 

Crazy World is a bilingual anthem that dissects a troubled world and evinces the ardent desire to make it right. The song talks of a better future without war, poverty, hunger, destruction or hate. It aims to broadcast its message of hope from the land of peace - the UAE. 

The lyrics eschew religious and racial divides to call for unity, with fervent hope for a better tomorrow. “Every breath we take, will lead to another day. Every move we make, we hope for a brighter day,” sings Foxx.

“The world has seemed an unkind, confusing place the past few years. It’s quite literally a “Crazy World.” My new single is my attempt at coping with the feeling of agony led by the events happening around us. It’s also an appeal that we should not give up. Everything we do, each little action, can result in a better tomorrow. And it’s only fitting that this song be shot in the UAE, which really is a beacon of peace and modern thought in the Middle East,” says Foxx. 

The UAE has of late seen a spate of songs and movies being shot at its picturesque locations. The latest Star Wars instalment “The Force Awakens” was shot in the Abu Dhabi desert, while Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, Jackie Chan’s Kung Fu Yoga and Star Trek Beyond have all used Dubai’s urban background as a location.  

The UAE music scene is exploding as well. “I can see that there is massive growth in the popularity of Arabic music worldwide, and Emirati musicians are doing very well. The UAE is becoming recognized as a hub of musical talent for classically trained singers as well as more contemporary performers. I am a huge supporter of talent, and am very pleased to be able to collaborate with exciting new performers like DD Foxx. It’s important that people realize just how vibrant the music scene in the UAE is.” says Bil Kheir.

Singer-songwriter DD Foxx melds the genres of Pop, Dance, R&B, Rap and Funk with a Middle Eastern flavour. She has performed for brands including Etisalat, Red Bull, Emirates Airline, MasterCard, Pepsi, Samsung, Disney, Mubadala, MaxFactor, MBC, and has also hosted an event for famous socialite Paris Hilton. Other highlights include being chosen as one of four Dubai artists to showcase for Quincy Jones, Will.i.am and Timbaland as part of the Dubai Music Week. Her first music video was choreographed by Luther Brown. 

DD Foxx has recently been ranked #3 in the Urban & Pop genre of the Top 20 Best Selling Albums by U.A.E. Artists in the past 10 years for her debut record 'Had To Be Me', released through Virgin Megastores.

“I am very excited about “Crazy World” and really believe that it will resonate massively with a lot of people. It’s also an honour to collaborate with an artist, the calibre of Abdullah Bil Kheir,” concludes Foxx.
