We shared a truly special moment on “Voices and Music” with singer-songwriter, musician, and composer Eleonora Manona.
Known and loved by audiences through her instrumental work as Nora’s Cinematic, Eleonora joined us in the studio to talk about her brand-new second solo album, Koritsi Esostrefes (Introverted Girl), released by Anima Music in collaboration with Stay Independent.
She guided us through the album’s eleven new songs—a deeply personal musical diary for which she wrote both the lyrics and the music, with production by Dramamine. She spoke about the sense of liberation she experienced while creating the record, her beautiful duet with Phoebus Delivorias on “A Song for the Stars,” and her upbeat single “Fanatics of Love,” which has already made a strong impression on listeners.
From her hometown of Patras and her studies at the Faculty of Philosophy of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, to receiving an award in the Danae Sponsorships competition—whose jury was chaired by Dimitra Galani—and collaborating with renowned artists such as Stamatis Spanoudakis, Philippos Pliatsikas, Odysseas Famellos, and Stavros Lantsias, Eleonora Manona proved that her “introversion” contains an entire world of colorful and radiant music.
A heartfelt thank you to Eleonora for our wonderful conversation and for sharing so much of herself with us, and to all our listeners across the globe who embraced this atmospheric pop celebration with their messages.
