Hanan Redha (Arabic: حنان رضا, born on August 23, 1991) is a Bahraini singer. Her fan nickname is صوت البحرين (the voice of bahrain).[1]
Redha was born in Bahrain but has also lived in Kuwait, where she studied at the Higher Institute of Musical Arts and earned a Bachelor of Arts in Music.[2] [3] She came to public attention as a contestant on the second season of Arab Idol and the renowned regional variety show Sawt al-Sahary as well as acting in مواطن قليل الدسم (“Low-Fat Citizen”), a play directed by actress Shatha Sabt.
In late 2015, her single “سمّوا عليه” (“There’s a Word for It”) became a massive hit in the Gulf, featuring a video that scored over 25 million views on YouTube. “ نعمة الله ” (“God’s Blessing”), a duet with Iraqi singer-songwriter Abdullah al-Hameem, was a similarly successful follow-up with over 20 million views. On tour in Kuwait, however, she had to move from a hotel room she believed was haunted.[4] At the end of 2016, she released لف ودور (“Turning and Turning”), written by Kuwaiti poet Abdulaziz al-Abkal, and got one million views in just four months.[5]
