Thursday, 22 October 2020

  • Tamta, the Cypriot Eurovision 2019 representative, returns with a powerful collaboration with Mente Fuerte in her new single titled  'Den eisai Edo'.

    Following her latest release of her EP 'Awake' Tamta returns to the music scene with her new single 'Den eisai edo' ( You're not here) in which she joins forces with the internationally acclaimed artist Mente Fuerte. Mente is behind some of the international super hits as  “Senorita” and “Caliente”.

    Tamta's new track along with its official music video have been released under the label of Minos Emi- Universal Music. The song has been written by Mente Fuerte and Sigma while behind the composition we find  Mente Fuerte, Sigma and Obiedaz.  Beyond and Obiedaz are the one responsible for the production of the song.

    The official music video ‘Den Eisai Edo‘ has been produced by Crystal View and directed Alexander Stamatiadis. The video features Tamta and Mente as a seperated couple that find themselve in a party and once their eyes meet time freezes. The video conveys the rythmical, fresh, but melacholic the same time, tone of the song.
