4.0 out of 5 stars
another example of fine production, July 5, 2001
This review is from: Everything I Am (Audio CD)
i first heard of anna vissi when i visited my boyfriend in greece last december....then i came back for holidays this past june and came across the whole cd, i thought i would give it a try since everyone in the record shop was talking sooo good about it. well, let me tell you guys, the lady is AMAZING: the songs are finely crafted and produced. this is a breakthrough record. most of it has been supervised by hit-producing team METRO (Cher, Tina Turner, Whitney Houston and Lara Fabian - and let's not forget enrique and ricky to add some latino flavour to their list...) and Peter Asher (the name srings a bell? get a copy of Cher's 1989 HEART OF STONE...), it was just right the final package turned out to be this cool. my favourite songs are STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU (i have the feeling this could be a major hit if only Lara Fabian would pick on it...) and ON A NIGHT LIKE THIS (there must've been some major copyright problem with Kylie Minogue over this one, but Anna's version is MILES away far better...). Other hits would be KICK THE HABIT and NO MORE THE FOOL (she sounds like Bonnie Tyler and this is a good sign...vocal range is always a good hint to sort out a good singer fr the rest). I am glad Sakis introduced me to her, she is the proof that finally the market is orienting through a good performer and not their nationality only: celine dion has taken the first step, Lara Fabian and Anna Vissi have proven that an excellent production can break through national borders...just wait and see for the upcoming Laura Pausini english debut later this year...i had a taste of the David Foster pre-production...the final result will knock u off!!!! Anna, great job, looking forward for the next english effort...

Debud Fabulous Album From Upcoming Diva!, March 3, 2001
This review is from: Everything I Am (Audio CD)
I am a radio producer in London. A month ago a Fan of Anna Vissi called me and told me to listen "Everything I Am". I didn't expected to Listen something interesting. I was wrong.
Everything i Am is the best album i've listen the Last months.
Anna has an Angel's voice and her performance is amazing. In her cd she achieved to include various music genres.
You have to listen the following songs:
Everything i am : A song that is what our days want. It is her first single and you can find remixes by Almighty (great), Eiffl 65 (nice too), Groove Brothers. There is also a remix by dj Amanda that is not included on the single but you can find it at her website.
On a night like this : A version that came out before Kylie's and i think that is better.
Kick the Habit : A fantastic breathtaking ballad. Her voice here reminds me of Bonnie Tyler (but it is sweeter).
After you : Another great ballad with a very interesting composing.
No more the fool : I knew this song from Elkie Brooks. I usually don't like arrangers but this one manages to change the song from a winsome slow song to an excellent power ballad.
Way out : It has a bluesy R&B groove that has Anna Vissi slipping down a minor scale.
Still in Love with you : I think that this is gonna be the next single. It is a very nice song that's gonna lift you up.
There is also a nice remix of "I Was made for Lovin' you" and some other songs that you have to listen.
I think that we are very close to the day that everyone will find out the Greece's biggest secret!

Amazing, February 9, 2005
This review is from: Everything I Am (Audio CD)
I recently bought this Cd, because I am crazy for Anna Vissi, and have all her other Cd's, exept this one. When I herd the Cd, I was blown away. I expected it to be good, because Anna Vissi has a great voice, but not this good. I really liked the songs that her long time song writter Nikos Karvelas and ex-husban wrote.(Still in love with you, Kick the habit, Everything I am, and Way out). On this Cd, Anna Vissi sing very nice ballads, as well as "dance" songs.(Pop-Rock) I HIGHLY RECOMEND THIS CD!!!! Also, she will be releasing her new english language Cd, sometime in Febuary of 2005. She has already released her single "Call Me".
