Double Platinum Nikos Economopoulos



Nikos Economopoulos (Νίκος Οικονομόπουλος) came to stay. His last album managed to become double platinum at the period of time when the Greek song knows crisis like the rest of the Greek society. The presence of the big singer Giannis Parios at the well known hangout of Kolonaki has created the atmosphere of the Double Platinum Award there.
The favourite haunt of youth was packed long before Nikos Economopoulos arrived. The young singer was particularly moved by the presence of Giannis Parios, whom he thanked for his support and called him his "father".
There was Nikos’ collaborator of this season on stage Elli Kokkinou there, and, also, Mary Stamateri.

Among the popular figures there were George Sabanis - who has written some songs on the CD by Nikos Economopoulos, Patricia Milik Peristeri, Sannos Baltzi, Konstantinos Rigos, George Satsidis and many more.
During the ceremony, Nikos Economopoulos wholeheartedly thanked the public "for the support", as he said and added that because of not being that good with words, he prefers to speak with his songs!

  Οδός Μοναξιάς ~ Loneliness Street Music: George Sabanis Lyrics: Eleni Giannatsoulia First performance/digital single by  Nikos Oikonomopoulos The day turns to night And Monday is gone The weather is as gloomy As feelings in my heart You cast your longlines Into  the deep darkness Your light is infinite But I am not in it I close my eyes But sleep is shattered My woe has brought me  To your street Your silence Is called treason It throws me again Into a whirl of anger. Оn the Loneliness Street in the early hours On the broken roadside bench I engrave again two our names And I think I live, but I don't breathe.   On the Loneliness Street at dawn I need to learn how not to wait You forgot us, our wonders  and me On the lonely street at dawn... People pass by Back and forth But there are no steps  Which sound like yours   Someone is running nearby She has your perfume But it's  just an illusion You are nowhere seen I close my eyes But sleep is shattered My woe has brought me  To

Nikos Oikonomopoulos’ First Australian Tour is a Triumph

Everything that transpired during Nikos Oikonomopoulos’ maiden tour turned out like a miracle:   here was a young singer who arrived at the green continent for the first time in his life, coming as a major artist and not as an addition to a more mature, established star.    Adding to the intrigue was the fact that this Greek singing sensation was not widely known in the Australian Greek community.  Many people were asking when they saw the publicity promoting his coming performances – “Who is this guy?”                                           However, two large venues at Sydney (Enmore Theatre, November, 2, 2012) and Melbourne (Westgate Complex, November, 5, 2012) were completely sold out:  the front table tickets, which were quite expensive ($300 for one sit) were all gone a month before the tour. But the major miracles occurred at the concerts:  Nikos stunned his audiences with the beauty of his voice, his performance skills and his irresistible natural charism
