Ruby has just returned to the scenes after a year long absence with the release of her new album "Misheet Wara Ihsasi" (I Followed my Feelings) at the beginning of January. The album features eight songs in both oriental and western styles.
The Egyptian Musician Union recently decided to eliminate Ruby from the Union. The singer's membership was cancelled along with a number of singers who were considered unfit.

The singer had gone through numerous obstacles to become a member of the Union and had paid high fees.
