Apohrosis (Greek: Αποχρώσεις; English: Shades) is the seventh Greek-language studio album and tenth overall studio album by Greek singer Helena Paparizou, released on 29 January 2021, in Greece and Cyprus by EMI Music Greece.[1]

Background

In December 2018 Helena Paparizou in Tilerama magazine interview stated that she is preparing her new Greek album which will be produced by ARCADE. On 14 July 2020 Helena went online on her Instagram account and announced that her new album is called Apohrosis and is going to be release in autumn, however in autumn a delay was announced by artist herself. On 15 January 2021 official release date and album cover were revealed on Helenas official Instagram account.[2] Few days later it was revealed that the cause for album delay was Project Apohrosis - all of the album tracks are going to have a music video [3] that are going to be posted on artist's official YouTube channel.[4] It is the first Helenas album in which every song has a music video and also second completely Greek languaged album after her debut solo album Protereotita.
