[edit] Album information
The album contains 13 tracks, 7 of which have already been released, 6 songs are English translations of Greek songs released on album Elena's previous album Υπάρχει Λόγος. The song "Heroes" has already been released as a single in Finland and Sweden. The 6 remaining tracks have been written especially for this album.
The songs "Carpe Diem (Seize the Day)" and "Teardrops" have been written by Elena herself. There is also a bonus track called "Ό,τι Αξίζει Είναι Οι Στιγμές", which was originally a song by Manos Hadjidakis, and was a big hit in France in 1962. Although she is signed to the Greek division of Sony BMG (along with the RCA imprint), most decisions will come from the UK division.
Helena is going to release "The game of love" in France soon. The french version will also contain the french version of "Teardrops" and a cover of Dalida's hit song, "Le temps des fleurs".
