Yes, there is amazing music being released in 2018 ... 5th studio album from Mitski
I haven't told anyone
Just like we promised
Have you?
Every time I drive through the city where you're from
I squeeze a little
Meet me at Blue Diner
I'll take coffee and talk about nothing, baby

Just some exemplary Arabic (Egyptian) pop. (If only YouTube had a HiFi upload.) It's great how modern Arabic pop is fresh-sounding, yet still employs entire strings orchestras and uses acoustic percussion. Basically, I'm a fan of music that's intricately composed and took actual instruments to make.
For Arabic music (of certain genres), new and old, it's typical to have a composer, strings-coordinator, singer, lyricist, orchestra, percussion section, and someone on a traditional instrument (ex. a qanun our an oud).
I might add that the Arabs have a way with violins: they play out of sync, purposefully, so that the melody flows in a buttery-smooth fashion. I prefer this style, and it's quite amazing how flamboyant the playing is in this song.

I like this piece! I'm familiar with the upload, too. Was introduced to this in a music class. This was around the mid-2000s, but I'm fairly certain that my teacher played it on vinyl.

Glen Campbell - Country Boy
Just love it when a song’s lyrics captures my frame of mind....
Livin' in the city
Ain't never been my idea of gettin' it on
But the job demands that you make new plans
Before your big chance is gone
You get a house in the hills
You're payin' everyone's bills
And they tell you that you're gonna go far
But in the back of my mind
I hear it time after time
"Is that who you really are?"
Country boy, you got your feet in L.A.
But your mind's on Tennessee
Lookin' back, I can remember the time
When I sang my songs for free
