Eimai is the name of a Greek album by singer Anna Vissi released in Greece and Cyprus in 1990 by CBS Greece.

Background

The song "Perimeno Tilefonima Sou" is dedicated to the musical The Phantom of the Opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber. The album's proposed title was Ipervoles (Exaggerations), but at the last minute the title of the first track was chosen instead.

The music video for the album's first single, "Fos", is noted as being one of the first ever large-scale music video production in Greece. Vissi is portrayed as Esmeralda.

The music video for the second single, "Ena Sou Leo", was based on Greek Hollywood actress Melina Merkouri's famous scene from the film Stella, where at the end Vissi is also killed by her boyfriend. After it was produced, Vissi and Nikos Karvelas decided that it was scandalously raw for the Greek market, so they filmed it again with Vissi singing in the rain. Despite being a simple video, it was widely acclaimed by fans.

In 1997, a remastered version of the original album was released on CD.
