Kolma N'arrab (Whenever We Come Closer) is the eighteenth full-length Arabic studio album from Egyptian pop singer Angham. The album was released on 10 June 2007 in Egypt, on 15 June 2007 in Middle East, and 3 July 2007 worldwide. On the first day of its release, the album's tracks were available to buy from iTunes. The album features what Angham describes as "an image of who she actually is, without retouch or fakeness, exposing to her audience her raw personality." The album has been both a critical and commercial success, after a commercially failed previous album despite its creativity, and has so far sold in excess between 850 000 and 980 000 copies in the Middle East. Some sources revealed that Rotana, Mazzika and Dream channels confirmed that the record of Kolma Nearrab is 800 000 CD, placing the record in a second position among the best-selling records released in 2007 in Middle East. Moreover, elBayan newspaper stipulated that the record sold half a million CD since 18 August 2007 and the number of sales is still escalating.^[5] Broadcast intensively one week prior to the album's release in the market, its first single "Kolma N'arrab" was filmed as a music video by director Ahmad elMahdy in Egypt and was ranked, upon its arrival to Rotana's Top 20 chart, at rank eleven before it moved to rank one after seven consecutive weeks. Rotana's spokesperson, Tony Semaan, assured the record has now a platinum certification.
