Helena In People Magazine

This weeks People magazine has all the details from Helena's trip to Cyprus, where she spoke for the first time since the separation.

Wearing tight denim shorts, a colorful shirt, green, black, pink and white, and holding a large bouquet which had been given to her by some fans, Helena Paparizou arrived in the afternoon on Thursday, July 28 (she had landed in Cyprus the dawn of that day) at the Cyprus radio station Radio Proto in Nicosia, she gave an interview to a radio producer Zachary Philippides.

In a 30 minute interview from 16.45 until 17.15, for the two major concerts that Helena would give in Cyprus, in Larnaca and Limassol, When asked whether she and toni had split she replied "Yes, We split up".

Shortly afterwards, at 18.45, Helena gave a 35 minute interview at the radio station Capital in Limassol, the radio presenter, Thanasis Kolovos, was very revealing. "When something ends, it ends because no reason ..." she said eventually. "When I say over, its over! Finally! I ruin my best friendship from adolescence so, and so far we are not talking. For me, the "X" is "X"! The "X" is feeling. When I have the "X" in me somewhere and I feel a doubt, it means that you should not put the "X". So I will put water in my wine. " They asked her whether both are to blame in a "goodbye", she replied: "Alas! Always! Blame both. "

Murderous / Tis Agapis Ta Thimata [The Full Story]

This is a rather complicated story and we was never sure of what the outcome was going to be. That is until today. A couple of months ago some lyrics were posted onto facebook from two new Helena songs. An english song called  Murderous and a greek version called Tis Agapis Ta Thimata. These songs were supposed to be on Greatest  Hits & More. To cut a long story short, these songs were given to Ivi Adamou and Tis Agapis Ta Thimata appears on her new album San Ena Oniro which is out today! You can hear this song below and tell us what you think. Can you imagine Helena singing it? Is it better that the song was given away? We would like to wish Ivi luck and success with this song.

Elena moving to Universal Music?

As many of you know, Elena's contract with Sony Music Greece is rumored to be up/coming up. It is pretty strange that we have not heard anything about a re-signing to Sony or talks of a move to a new label yet, but maybe that has to do with the media being more interested in her personal life currently.

Well now we are finally starting to hear something. In last week's "Music & Media", (a weekly column in a newspaper about the music and media industry, usually very reliable) it talks about big changes going on at Universal Music Greece and Universal Music as a whole. Hidden in the article, is a mention that Universal is trying to sign some new big artists to their roster including Elena. Specifically, it talks about how Vico Antippas, President of Nordic, Central & Eastern Europe, South Africa & India, Universal Music Group International, is trying to get Elena to sign with Universal Music outside of Greece.

So could Elena be leaving Sony for Universal? I know she has always praised her relationship with Sony, especially with Giannis Doxas, but you never know what can happen. We have seen MANY surprising moves in the Greek music industry lately. Also Giorgos Sabanis was/is very close with Giannis Doxas, but he still left Sony for Universal too. Maybe Vico Antippas will give her a deal she can't refuse?

Here is the article: http://www.paron.gr/typologies/?p=10460#more-10460

And the tidbit about Elena: "Παράλληλα σε διάφορα επίπεδα συνεχίζονται οι συζητήσεις καλλιτεχνών των οποίων τα συμβόλαια πλησιάζουν προς ολοκλήρωση, αλλά και επαφές με καλλιτέχνες οι οποίοι θα μπορούσαν να έρθουν στην εταιρεία.

Σε αυτό τον τομέα ισχυρό ρόλο παίζει και ο Β. Αντίππας ο οποίος προσπαθεί να προσελκύσει καλλιτέχνες όπως η Έλενα Παπαρίζου, με “καρότο” το να υπογράψουν με την εταιρεία στο εξωτερικό."

What do you guys think? It is worth noting that long time Universal Greece artist Michalis Hatzigiannis was able to get a contract with Universal Music Germany, and attempted to launch an English album from there. Maybe Elena could sign to Universal Music Sweden to attempt to launch a new English album from there? .
