Anna Vissi (Greek: Άννα Βίσση (pronounced [ˈana ˈvisi], locally [ˈanːa ˈviʃːi]); born 20 December 1957), also known as Anna Vishy, is a Greek recording artist and actress. Born in Cyprus, she studied music at conservatories and performed locally before moving to the professional scene in Athens, Greece in 1973, where she signed with Minos and simultaneously collaborated with other musical artists and released promotional singles of her own while studying at the University of Athens.
Anna Vissi is the name of a self-titled album by Greek singer Anna Vissi. It is the first album with lifelong collaborator and companion Nikos Karvelas, who is credited under the alias "Nikos Leonardos". It was released in Greece and Cyprus in 1980 by EMI Greece. The album includes both original songs as well as several Greek covers of international hits. The album reached gold status.
The album was repackaged with the same cover in 1982 to include the bonus song "Mono I Agapi", which was the Cypriot entry for the 1982 Eurovision Song Contest sung by Vissi.
The album appeared on compact disc for the first time in 2006 with the Minos EMI remastered edition named 4, since it was her fourth album. The re-release was prompted, once again, by Vissi's participation in Eurovision, this time for her entry in the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest. Previously the hit singles and other tracks of the album were available in CD format only via various compilations by Minos EMI. The 1982 Eurovision entry "Mono I Agapi" was also made available on CD in the CD single "Autostop/Mono I Agapi" released in February 2006.
Anna Vissi is the self-titled album by Greek singer Anna Vissi, released in countries outside Greece in 1999 by Sony Music Entertainment, in order to promote the artist on an international level. This compilation included songs from her multi-platinum-selling albums in Greece, such as Antidoto, Klima Tropiko and Re!.
