Promotion

Kalomira released her fourth studio album after conquering third place in the Eurovision Song Contest 2008. She planned on starting full promotion of the album, but on June 2, 2008, when Kalomira was supposed to be the guest on a popular morning show in Greece, she postponed her appearance because she had to fly to New York City immediately due to her sister's pregnancy. On June 4, 2008, Rythmos FM was supposed throw a summer party where Kalomira would perform all her new songs but this was also postponed since she was out of the country.[3]
