Agapi Einai Esi (Greek: Αγάπη Είναι Εσύ; English: Love Is You) is the 26th studio album by Greek recording artist Anna Vissi, released in Greece and Cyprus on 17 December 2010 by Sony Music Greece as a covermount with Real News. It is her first album since 2005's Nylon to be completely written by Nikos Karvelas, while it also serves as their first collaboration in four years. The album has so far generated the title track single and debuted at number six on the Greek IFPI Top 75 Albums chart, moved up to third place on its third week and went gold on the fourth week.
It was first reported in September 2010 that Anna Vissi was working with previous long-time collaborator Nikos Karvelas on songs for her forthcoming album. The CD single marks Vissi's first collaboration with Karvelas in four years. The album is mainly rock-oriented. Speaking to the magazine Life & Style, Vissi stated that she had a desire to work with Karvelas once more, while he also felt the same way. She further stated that she felt they were made for each other artistically. During an interview with Love Radio on 8 December 2010, Vissi announced the name of her new album, and revealed that it will be completely written by Nikos Karvelas containing ten songs. In December 2010, "Oasis" and "San To Nto Ke To Si" were also debuted on the radio. Vissi also stated that she would be covering a song titled "Vampir" (Vampire) off of Nikos Karvelas album Adio Heimona. A duet with Sakis Rouvas was also announced in the spring, with Karvelas being considered as the writer, although it apparently did not make it to the album.
The album was released on 17 December 2010 as a covermount with Real News. Traditionally, a Sunday edition newspaper, the issue was released two days early in a special Friday edition due to a planned 48-hour media strike over the weekend; it was originally due out on 19 December 2010. The album was scheduled to be available in retail stores in Greece and Cyprus on 22 December 2010.
