Mando II (Greek: Μαντώ II) is the Greek singer Mando's twelfth studio album and comeback after a five-year absence from the Greek music scene.[1] It was released on May 30, 2008,[2] by Polymusic and was Mando's first release since 2003.
The writers are Pegasos and Vicky Gerotheodorou as well as many well known song composers, including Mando herself. The title of the album represents a new start, and a second chapter in her music career after taking time off to be with her family.[3] Mando has stated that one of the driving factors for her to return to the studio sooner rather than later, was her children, who kept asking her when she would release an album.[4] She also stated that now she sings for her children first.[4]
The first single from Mando II is "Dos Mou Logo Na Sotho" (Give me a reason to be saved), written by Pegasos and released on May 10, 2008. The music video of the song was premiered on Mega Star, a Greek music television program.[4] Mando said in an interview with Mega Star that the song is what drove her to go back into the studio.[4]
"Den Eisai Ekei"
The second single was "Den Eisai Ekei", which Mando confirmed on September 4, 2008, while being interviewed at TV100 radio station and Peiratikos 107.7 FM. Later, she confirmed the choice on her Facebook page. The music video for "Den Eisai Ekei" was released on October 30, 2008; Manolis Tzirakis was the director again.
