If there's one singer that has been rumoured and wishful though about as a Eurovision star for Cyprus, Greece or any other country it's Tamta (Tamta Goduadze, Τάμτα Γκοντουάτζε).
Fans are over the moon now it finally came true.
Tamta performed Replay, written by Alex P. who also co-wrote last years Cypriot entry Fuego, getting the best result for the country ever.
Replay was revealed and released on March 5. Watch and listen here at Tamta's Youtube.

A 1 track promo in large (8.5 inch) fold out sleeve is issued. (RIK, Minos/EMI Universal 7764415)

On June 28 an acoustic version was released as a digital single. (see versions)

In 2007 Tamta had a go in the Greek selection but her song With Love ended third.
Die-hard Eurovision collectors have another tune by Tamta in their vaults. In 2006 Mihai Trăistariu re-recorded his successful entry Tornero (Romania, 4th place) with Tamta. She sang her parts in Greek and the song ended up on both Mihai's and Tamta's 2006 albums.
