For as long as she can remember, Eleni Foureira has been making music–first singing in the girl-power band, Mystique, and now as a solo artist establishing her own sound. “I always wanted to be a singer,” Foureira says. “Don’t know why but I was born to do it. I had that instinct.” And if you’ve heard her latest single, “Fotiá” (with Evangelia), you know the instinct to make good music is all too true. She has already taken Greece by storm, becoming the most-streamed artist in Greece in 2021. But for Foureira that’s not enough; the 34-year-old has her sights set on world domination. Yet, if her latest releases are any indication, she is well on her way to international stardom.
Known for her thunderous electropop songs, she has already shared her artistry with a global audience–collaborating with Snoop Dogg a few years back and sharing the stage with Madonna in 2019. And, luckily for us, there is much more to come. Foureira recently teased that there is a new album in the works, centered around female empowerment. When asked what kind of inspiration she wants her fans to take away from the new music, Foureira shares, “I want to give women a space to feel their own strength and tell their stories. That is power.”
