The new song “Kalimera”, which is a single from the upcoming album by Nikos Economopoulos ( a popular Greek singer), is bubbling like champagne on air.
Sparkling and iridescent, the singer's voice effectively soars above the springy reggae instrumental platform, which, in addition, has a fusion of some Greek and Latina ethnic characters.
The music, written by a young and talented composer, Giannis Fraseris, in general is a combination of some melodical and instrumental features of “laika” songs with rhythmical qualities of reggae and samba in choruses. All of that mentioned above together with a catchy tune will without doubt make the song a hit.
“Kalimera” (Good Morning) (another title for the song is “Ksimeronei“ – “Dawning”) radiates happiness, which comes not only from the bouncy, dancing character of the music, but also through the simplicity and sincerity of the lyrics by the already famous author, Vangelis Karatzanos. Last year Vangelis wrote a very popular composition (“Thelo na’me” – “I want to be”) from Nikos’ Platinum-awarded album “Katathesi Psychis.” This song has enabled the collaboration between singer and a lyricist to continue.
As Nikos Economopulos said in his latest radio and TV interviews, his new album will include songs which will be on the border of ‘laika” and other styles. In the song “Kalimera” we can see one of those fusions. Nikos, the bearer of an irresistibly beautiful voice, can try nearly anything from the great variety of musical genres, and he will always succeed!
From the new single we can say that it will obviously receive a great response from the public and, hopefully, will lead to commercial success of the upcoming album in general.
The initial reaction of listeners has already been exciting and signifies complete approval. So, all we can say is: “Congratulations to Nikos and to the composers of his song – Vangelis Karatzanos and Giannis Fraseris. Well done, guys!”
Welcome to the night music centre “Fix” (Athens) every Friday and Saturday to listen to this song live!!!!
