Both of these tracks were immediately appreciated by the public, especially after the first live performances. “Melancholia mou” (My melancholy) , from the very beginning charms you with its unusual instrumental intro. This zeibekiko is written with the transparent polyphonic texture of the most modern sound. The impressive melody begins unusually low to ascend to the top.

Each new album is a collection of experiences from which you learn. " When being asked "if it feels heavy load for everybody waiting that long for a moment of success," he replied: "These are the rules of the game in our work. When you exist in show business and want to be a star naturally there should be expectations” Regarding the "strong" partnerships he had so far in his career, such as with Giannis Parios, Stamatis Gonidis and Despina Vandi, he said: "The truth is that I was fortunate in my collaborations. Each of these was a happy

Τα δύο από αυτά, το "Εννοείται" και το "Ώρα να πηγαίνω" με στίχους της Ελένης Γιαννατσούλια, είναι ήδη οι κορυφαίες επιτυχίες. Το τρίτο "Εγώ ο δυνατός" είναι ένα παραδοσιακό Ζεϊμπέκικο με τέλεια δομημένη μελωδία και εκφραστικούς στίχους από την Νίκη Σπυροπούλου. Ο Γιώργος Σαμπάνης συνέβαλε σε 2 τραγούδια στο CD: το "Μελαγχολία μου" (μια σύγχρονη Ζεϊμπέκικο-Μπαλάντα) με στίχους της Νί

Nikos Economopoulos lived through an unusual  "battle" since his fans literally bombarded him with the flower petals at the Fever nightclub premiere , where he performs with Stamatis Gonidis and Katerina Stikoudi! What was the result?  The "rain" of the flowers from his fans felt down at his feet! Nikos Economopoulos greeted warmly patrons of Fever welcoming them to the show that promises much fun and songs! The flower battle continued throughout the night, but the singer did not seem daunted! Quite opposite: he dedicated his success to the public who came to the show! All night long girls of the club, dressed in red, never stopped sprinkle Nikos Economopoulos with petals! For Stamatis Gonidis of this was a special premiere as it brought him back to the night club scene after 2 years break! What could be more explosive than the  duet of sexy-dressed Katerina Stikoudi and Stamatis Gonidis? Katerina has a lot to learn next to a veteran of the nig

A few hours before the premiere at "Fever" with Stamatis Gonidis, Nikos Economopoulos spoke to "Proino mou» ( morning show at MEGA TV). He did not sleep this night , but still found it possible to talk , because he knows that all his fans are waiting for that and in general, Nikos is a very responsible person. With MEGA TV host Christos Nezos The hosts asked him about his life in this period of economic crisis and the singer replied: "I ​​was never greedy. All goes well and personally I feel very well. And in my business everything is rising up. In these difficult times we live in, all my business goes well, I have no complaints. "  He said a few warm  words about his partners in this collaboration: Stamatis Gonidis and Katerina Stikoudi. Nikos feel happy to be on stage alongside Stamatis Gonidis, who he respects as a great singer, so , when he was asked if he is aware of the competition, his answer was: "The competition is good! The comp

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

The prince of Greek song, Nikos Oikonomopoulos, powered his way through his first ever performance in Australia , which took place at Enmore Theatre in Sydney .  Judging by the crowd’s overwhelmingly positive reception, and the size and quality of the venue, this appearance was a beginning of a new era – the time of “love Nikos Oikonomopoulos Syndrome” in Australia ! Australians have for some time been awaiting the arrival of the brightest young Greek Star and their expectations were fully met. Those lucky enough to be at the Enmore Theatre on Friday, 2nd November, 2012 , will never forget this evening. The blue-eyed 28 year-old singer had been performing live shows for more than a decade, including 6 years before his victory in the “Dream Show-2” in 2006.  It is unbelievable, but during this time he never had the chance to come to Australia , being tremendously busy with his concert life at home. The singer started his Sydney performance with one of his top hits “Ps

Το «Eννοείται» είναι μια σπάνια περίπτωση τραγουδιού που γίνεται hit πριν από τη ραδιοφωνική του μετάδοση.  Κέρδισε την επιτυχία δύο εβδομάδες πριν παιχτεί στο ραδιόφωνο, όταν ο Νίκος το παρουσίασε κατά τη διάρκεια της βραδιάς απονομής του τετραπλά πλατινένιου δίσκου του με τίτλο «Θα Είμαι Εδώ». Ένα τέτοιο φαινόμενο είναι αναμενόμενο όταν μιλάμε για το Nίκο Οικονομόπουλο, έναν μεγάλο καλλιτέχνη με μια ιδιαίτερη ελκυστικότητα στη φωνή του και το σπάνιο προσόν να ακούγεται τέλεια στις live εμφανίσεις του. Εκτός αυτού, oι στίχοι της Ελένης Γιαννατσούλια που εκφράζουν την ψυχή και η αδιάκοπα ανοδική μελωδία του Πάνου Καπίρη έκανε τους ακροατές στο νυχτερινό κέντρο ΘΕΑ να βιώσουν μια συναισθηματική αναστάτωση. Ο δημιουργός μερικών διαχρονικών επιτυχιών από το πρώτο άλμπουμ του Νίκου Οικονομόπουλου, Πάνος Καπίρης, για ακόμα μια φορά έχει συνθέσει τη μουσική που συμπίπτει ακριβώς με αυτό που περιμένει να ακούσει ο ακροατής από αυτόν τον τραγουδιστή: την ομορφιά της μελωδίας

Никос Икономопулос является самой яркой новой звездой греческой музыки. Благодаря своему великолепному голосу и неотразимому обаянию, Никос заслужил любовь самых широких кругов публики своей страны.

Первый альбом, выпущенный под этим лейблом, " Doro Gia Sena " (Подарок Тебе), стал трижды платиновым в течение пяти месяцев. Такой удивительно быстрый успех крайне редок в Греции. Успех следующего альбома " Tha Eimai Edo " (Я Буду Здесь) поистине феноменален, он стал дважды платиновым в течение двух недели с момента выпуска.

"Ennoeitai" (“Obviously”) is a rare case of the song to become a hit before the broadcast.   It gained the success two weeks before the first radio play, during the concert at the four times platinum award for the CD "Tha Eimai Edo". Such a phenomenon is possible when the artist is none other than Nikos Economopulos, a great master with an an exclusive attractiveness in his voice and that rare quality to be perfect in the live sound.   Besides, the soul exposing lyrics by Eleni Gannatsoulia and relentlessly ascending melody by Panos Kapiris made the listeners at the concert to experience an emotional turmoil.

At the end of 2011 the rapid success of the following album “Tha Eimai Edo” was truly phenomenal; it became double platinum within a two week time.

Nikos Economopoulos admits that often cries and, during a personal confession, talks about his weaknesses, dreams, women and a desirable fatherhood! "If a man does not cry, it is not a man. It depends, of course, on how you cry, - said Nikos and added - May be I do not shed tears, but often cry inside myself  because I'm very introverted person."    Emphasizing that his personal life he keeps at home, the young singer admits that there are women in his life but he never considered these relationships to be serious enough to show them.  "I love my job so much and I will not let nobody show any other things except my songs. I do not want to provoke the world ... I do not want people to "live" in the world not related to my work," - he adds.  "I feel ready and, at the same time,  unready to become a father. Perhaps I am not sure yet, because I must first find the person of my life. What I can say is that I not jus

Στη σύγχρονη μουσική δεν υπάρχουν τόσες πολλές πραγματικά όμορφες φωνές, που να αξίζει να τις αναφέρουμε . Εξάλλου, μπορούμε να κρίνουμε έναν τραγουδιστή ως επί το πλείστον από τις ζωντανές εμφανίσεις του. Έτσι, η σύγκριση και η διαφορά πρέπει να βασίζεται μόνο σε αυτές. Συναντώ συχνά το φαινόμενο, άπειροι ακροατές να συγκρίνουν τον Νίκο Οικονομόπουλο με οποιονδήποτε. Αλλά, επιτρέψτε μου να πω, κυρίες και κύριοι, ότι υπάρχουν πολλά πράγματα που πρέπει να διευκρινιστούν. Πρώτον: Ο Νίκος τραγουδάει με μεγάλη ακρίβεια, πάντα εναρμονισμένα όπως λένε, πράγμα που θα ήθελα να ευχηθώ να αποκτήσουν όλοι εκείνοι που, για κάποιο λόγο, συγκρίνονται με αυτόν. Δεύτερον: Ο ήχος της φωνής του έχει μια εξαιρετική ομορφιά και πλούσιο τόνο σε όλο το εύρος της. Τρίτον: Αυτό το έμφυτο ταλέντο που έχει δοθεί στο Νίκο δεν το συναντάμε σε πολλούς τραγουδιστές. Εννοώ την σπάνια ικανότητά του να αποδίδει το περιεχόμενο του τραγουδιού. Αυτός είναι ο λόγος που η ερμηνεία του είναι μιά α

In modern popular music there are not that many of truly beautiful, worthy of debate voices. Besides, we can judge singer mostly on their live performances. So, the dispute should be based only on them. I often deal with the fact that inexperienced listeners compare Nikos Economopoulos with whoever. But, let me say, ladies and gentlemen, there are several things to be determined.  First: Nikos sings very accurately, as they say - always in tune, the quality I would like to wish all those who for some reason are compared to him. Second: The sound of his voice has an exceptional beauty and richness of the tone across the range. Third: What is given to him is not given to the most of singers. I mean his  rare ability to convey the content of the song, that’s why his singing is a delight for people who do not speak Greek. This is due to the expressiveness of his voice full with the overtones, enriching its sound. I want to remind that Nikos Economopoulos

Last weekend a prominent Greek laiko singer Stamatis Gonidis visited Athens' popular nightclub THEA, where he enjoyed a performance of Nikos Economopoulos. The friendship between these two singers lasts since the very first steps of Nikos on the big stage. Stamatis Gonidis started supporting Nikos Economopoulos as early as in 2006, when he approved the young and unknown yet participant and winner –to –be of the “Dream Show -2”. Later they had collaboration on stage and even recorded a duet for the Nikos ‘triple platinum album “Doro Gia Sena”. The track “I agapi einai tragoudi” (“Love is the song”) became one of the big successes of the album. Of course, Nikos expressed his joy to see the master at his concert and proposed him a microphone. Gonidis sang his hit “Diomisi” (Two and a half”), which roused the wave of the enthusiasm of the audience. Nikos greeted Stamatis Gonidis with the following words: "I am very happy to see you! You are one of not that m
