Anna Vissi has new album after two year gap

Anna Vissi will be set to launch her brand new album - in the wake of a two year gap in the music industry.

The singer had ventured into a pain-staking procedure of sorting through 600 potential tunes, for the requirements of the eagerly anticipated album.

Her implementation of the "action plan" at a revival of her career is not only focused on fresh releases, but will also extend to giving a series of performances at the Athinon Arena, in the winter.

"I'm not doing an album with a Diva attitude - it feels the same as when I was 18 and I was searching for songs I liked. I'm seeking new sounds, something that only new people can give." (DownTown)


The collaboration with American producers/writers Diane Warren, Glen Ballard, and Brian Hewes, and Robbin Di Maggio, is to create a fresh chapter, in her illustrious career.

"One in Greek and one international which will be released later on. Patrick R. Leonard is one of the composers for the international album, famous from his collaboration with Madonna (he wrote Frozen and Like a prayer) and whom I'm very happy to be working with".

"As for the composers... let this be a surprise. I have listened to more than 600 songs, I'm in a studio from morning to night and I feel that I'm living a very special period of my life".

Anna Vissi in London charity concert on Saturday 3 November

Cypriot pop goddess will visit London on Saturday 3 November for a sold-out performance at the Covent Garden Hall.

Anna Vissi is set to perform at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden at the invitation of the Oinoussian Association and the Life Action.

The Cyprus diva is to be accompanied by the London Philarmonic Orchestra - the 35-piece orchestra will perform with Anna Vissi in the first segment of the show. The final segment will see the solo section - Anna Vissi performing her greatest hits to date.

The singer had visited Amsterdam (October 5), Brussels (October 7), and in Johannesburg at the Emperors Palace (October 13) where she guided the audience through her greatest hits to date.

She surprised the audience by singing John Elton's 'Sorry seems to be the hardest word' - "a song I love singing from when I was a child - well actually not a child" in a jibe to the crowd.

Anna had spoken of Greek communities abroad as an extension of "the other Greece" and wanted her tour to "seduce the non-Greeks with the Greek sound and make them feel Greek during the concert" .

The fans were whipped into a veritable frenzy as a result of Anna's charismatic fervour. Her concerts in Belgium and Netherlands saw people come from England, Germany, Greece and Cyprus - with at least half of those non-Greeks. Those performances were intended to honour the victims which followed Greece's wild fires.

Anna will conclude her tour in March with further visits to Germany, Switzerland, Sweden and many other European destinations.

The long-awaited album is set for release prior to the advent of Christmas.

Anna Vissi in Bulgaria

from oikotimes.com

Anna Vissi was in Bulgaria the last three days, where she gave a VIP concert on June, 23rd, at the opening of the Royal Beach Hotel complex, in Sunny Beach, Black Sea cost.

Lili Ivanova, a living legend of the Bulgarian pop music, was also among the many guests of the concert, which lasted 8 hours and was attended by over 1500 guests. The ex - Crown Prince of Greece Nikolaos was also between the VIP guests and stayed up until the morning, while Anna sent him a special greeting, from the stage.

The day before, Anna was a guest in the tv show "Shouto Na Slavi" (BTV), where she sang her Billboard hit "Call me" and her last Greek single "Nylon" and also talked about her career in Greece and Cyprus.

Anna is not unapproachable and she's not acting like a diva: "It's important for an artist, especially for one like me who's more than 30 years in the industry, to be down to earth and keep in mind that all that's happening in his life is a gift from God".

She remembers she moved in Greece when she was 15. "It was difficult singing the nights and studying, because these years, being a singer was quit suspicious. I just went to a biggest place - Cyprus is Greece as well, what's released in Greece, it's also released in Cyprus, just like here, in Bulgaria. I didn't know I'm famous here".

Many of her hits are translated into Bulgarian. "I don't have a problem with that. It's an honour and a compliment for me when they sing my songs. I believe songs and music should travel". Last year she ended 9th at the Eurovision Song Contest of Athens, even though she was the absolute favourite to win the Festival: "It doesn't matter, but I really want to thank Bulgaria for giving me 12 points. You had a very good and sexy song that year, a beautiful singer as well; I liked it. I like authentic Bulgarian music".

She's currently in Greece and has recently been to Acropolis. "It's a place full of strong energy, as if you are in the heavens. We are very proud of it".
She got married once with Nikos Carvelas, her lifetime composer and partner. "I do believe in marriage, but I do believe in divorce as well. I got married with the right man, because we broke up and we are still friends and have a daughter".
