Lebanese pop and fashion icon Haifa Wehbe has just released the artwork for her new album MJK/Malikat Jamal Al Kawn (meaning “Miss Universe” or “The Most Beautiful Woman In The World”) which drops on Tuesday 8 May. The artwork was created by graphic artist Ratib Anani.

For those of you who are new to Haifa and her work – she is the Middle East’s equivalent of Madonna, Nicki, Rihanna, Britney and Katy combined. Her fan-base is actually more intense and dedicated than any Barbz, Navy members, K*untz etc. collectively. Since she joined Twitter and Facebook about six months ago, her awareness globally has become unparalleled (for example 43% of album pre-orders have been global – outside of the M.E.). Haifa has even collaborated with Snoop Dogg for a track set to drop later this year and is working with RedOne on Western cross-over track. The video shot in Italy (which is very Sophia Loren-esque) for her single Bokra Bfarjik directed by Giangi Magnoni is out officially on 10 May.

Check out some exclusive images of Haifa by Sharbel BouMansour from the video shoot including a shot of Haifa with her statement and iconic Dolce & Gabbana black dress.
