XCLUSIVE! Stavento, Parios, Kiamos and more!!!

This week in XCLUSIVE! 

 All Hallows' Eve is nearly upon us and no doubt there will a fright or two this week, but for now let's forget the tricks and focus on the treats! And boo-y do I have the latest lowdown on all your favourite Greek Artists! 

First up, a surprising collaboration… GFR (Greek Friendly Rapper) Stavento, is hooking up with legendary Greek crooner Giannis Parios to create an epic cinematic ballad “Paidi Monoxo”. It begins with a simple ‘music box’ melody that exudes childlike innocence and hope, before being juxtaposed with Parios’ powerfully deep dulcet tones that set the song alight. The initial tentative strings lead into soaring drones that add a darkness to the piece. It isn’t until more than three minutes in, that the hip-hop beat and scratching kicks in and Stavento does his thing– his rhythmic delivery fitting perfectly in the mould of the song rather than overtaking it. Written by Michalis aka Stavento himself, this is an impressive marriage of two very different styles that plays to both artists strengths - a beautiful timeless track that captivates from the first listen.

Fresh from live performances in Greece, Cyprus and London celebrating his greatest hits to date, Panos Kiamos is upping the ante in preparation for his soon to hit album release! The singer gave fans an exclusive sneaky peak of his upcoming collection of new material at Greek venue; Club 22, where he is currently in the middle of his winter season residency. As well as performing current single “Pos Tha Ti Vgalo”, Kiamos premiered new tracks “Plexame” and “Se Horizo”. A nine minute album preview has also been uploaded online this week to give a taster of Panos’ latest musical effort. 

The new album “Apo Asteri Se Asteri” will delight fans with 18 new tracks and gets its official release on Friday 30th October. Can’t wait! 

                                 *****
Also keeping fans happy with an Autumn single release is Nikos Oikonomopoulos. The singer unveils the soulful “An Ponas” while Konstantinos Argiros opts for an up-tempo laiko entitled “To Taxidi Xsekinaei”, which I'm willing to wager, will win over the charts in no time!
