"Tha Melagholiso (OtherView Remix - MAD VMA 2019)" is a remix of Garbi's 1996 hit written by Phoebus, "Tha Melagholiso" from 2× platinum album Arhizo Polemo, performed as a duet with Alcatrash.[2]
The MAD VMA 2019 performance of the single premiered on 7 July 2019, prior to its digital release.[2]
Background
edit"Tha Melaholiso" was first released in 1996 by Sony Music on Garbi's album Arhizo Polemo and became one of the most iconic songs of the 1990s.[3]
The song was written and produced by Phoebus, an emerging songwriter who had made his songwriting debut in 1992, and subsequently found success as a songwriter included on Garbi's 1993 album Os Ton Paradeiso.[3]
By 1996 Phoebus and Garbi's collaboration had resulted in a gold and platinum album certification. Their third album collaboration spawned various original concepts not seen in the commercial Greek records of that period in time; this included a song in the style of a hasapiko featuring a bridge-chorus format ("Hamena") and the song "Tha Melagholiso" which featured a two-part chorus.[3]
The laïko style track "Tha Melagholiso" written by Phoebus, featured a unique dual chorus which until that point had not been a feature of any song of the Greek music industry.[4] The first chorus begins with 'Tha melagholiso, ki'istera ego ki'istera ego pos tha sinehiso... (Greek: Θα μελαγχολήσω κι ύστερα εγώ, κι ύστερα εγώ πως θα συνεχίσω...),' while the second begins with 'Kita me pou kleo san paidi ki etia agapi mou eisai esi...(Greek: Κοίτα με που κλαίω σαν παιδί κι η αιτία αγάπη μου είσαι εσύ...)'[4]
