    Released: 14 December 2012

Apo Kardias (Greek: Από Καρδιάς; English: From the Heart) is the 1st official Greatest Hits compilation album by Greek recording artist Katy Garbi and 19th album overall. The album was first released as a covermount with 'Espresso' magazine on the 23 March 2013. The album was commercially released by Sony Music Greece on April 18, 2013.[1]
Described on the front cover as "Apo Kardias / Best 2013", the album contains 36 tracks, with 34 being some of Garbi's greatest hits and the remaining 2 being new unreleased tracks. New material includes "Zontanos Ouranos" featuring accordionist Zoi Tyganouria, and radio single Pio Pano Apo Sena.

Release

In December 2012, Sony Music Greece released a new single by Garbi titled Pio Pano Apo Sena under the Front Seat imprint.[2] Garbi stated that the single will be one of two new tracks from an upcoming 'Best Of' compilation album to released by Sony Music in the coming weeks.

The premiere of track "Zontanos Ouranos" featuring accordionist Zoi Tyganouria also preceded the official release of the album, as it was performed by Garbi and Tyganouria several times during their performances at Casablanca Music Hall. It was written by Tyganourgia, and should be noted that it was first performed as a duet between the two artists two years prior at Technopolis - Gkazi.

The album was first released on March 23, 2013 as a covermount with 'Espresso' news and entertainment magazine. The campaign distributed the double CD album throughout Greece as a bonus when purchasing the magazine, as is now common with many new releases throughout Greece. The album was commercially released by Sony Music Greece on April 18, 2013, almost one month after its covermount release, making it the 18th discographic release by Garbi under the label.[1]

Tracklist

The official commercial release of the compilation album contains 38 tracks, featuring two new tracks on the second disk. The remaining album contains songs from Katy's past studio albums except her three first uncertified works, her 1998 Christmas album Hristougenna Me Tin Katy and 2011 album Pazl which is her only album not released under the Sony Music Entertainment license, but under Universal Music Group. Although no tracks from 2008 album Kainourgia Ego are included in the commercial release, the two radio singles contained in the album are included in the covermount release with Espresso newspaper. Contrary to this, two singles from 2006 album Pos Allazei O Kairos are included in the commercial release although not included in the covermount edition.

The two-disc covermount edition released as a part of Espresso newspaper contains 34 tracks, featuring the two previously unreleased tracks on the first disk. The remaining album differs from the commercial release by omitting any tracks from 2006 album Pos Allazei O Kairos as well as several other tracks, yet including the two singles from 2008 album Kainourgia Ego. Specific to the covermount edition, the second CD contains only tracks composed by Phoebus.

The track premiered on December 10 on Sfera Radio, during an interview with Garbi held for the station's 4th year celebration of 'Greek Music Week'.[4] The single debuted at 72 on the Airplay Top 100 powered by Media Inspector, and has since peaked at 14.[5]
