Mehri Edo (Greek: Μέχρι Εδώ; English: Until here) is the fifth studio album released by Greek singer, Chrispa. It was released in Greece and Cyprus on October 6, 2009 by Minos EMI and includes eleven tracks in total. Nine of the tracks are new and composed by Stefanos Korkolis, with lyrics by Rebecca Roussi, while there are two covers: the classic Korkolis tracks "Fovithikes" with lyrics by Rebecca Roussi and "Parakseni Agapi" with lyrics by Anta Douka.[1]

Style

The album has a noticeably different style than those preceding with adult sounding and developed vocals. In a February 2009 interview with Espresso Magazine, Chrispa stated that people would see another her and that she was at the most creative phase of her life. She added that the new album would be a surprising change from her previous releases.[2] After seeing the photos from the album's shoot, Espresso Magazine wrote that Chrispa had transformed into a perfectly sexy female, markedly emaciated, with long brown hair and an incredibly bold figure. She posed with little mannerism in revealing clothes and looked ready to put the fire back in the nightlife of Athens.[3]

Release

Mehri Edo was released on October 6, 2009 and is Chrispa's fifth studio album.[4] It is her first release following her participation in the national final to represent Greece at the Eurovision Song Contest 2008, at which she placed third out of the three candidates. "S'Erotevomai" was released as the first single from the album as radio promotion and it fared well, with plays extending all across Greece.[5]

Upon the album's release, Chrispa's record company Minos EMI received complaints regarding the content. Because of a technical flaw from the manufacturer, a batch left the plant which contained tracks of religious chants and hymns, instead of Chrispa. Minos EMI immediately recalled all of the faulty product, while publicly apologizing for the inconvenience and offering to buy back or exchange the defective CDs.[1][4]
