Helm (Arabic: حلم – A Dream) is the first pop album by the Lebanese actress and singer Carole Samaha. It was released in 2003 by EMI Music Arabia. The Rough Guide to World Music: Africa & The Middle East calls it a "deliciously neat production". The song "Ghali Aayi" from the album became a hit.[1] Following the release of this album, Carole Samaha won the "Best Female Newcomer" award at the Arab Music Awards.[2] She also received the "Best Polyvalent talent (actress and singer)" 2003 Murex d'Or, while the song "Ettalaa fiyi" got the Murex d'Or for "Best Female Romantic Song".[3]
