<p align="center"><strong>"Even When I lose" </strong> </p><p> </p><p><strong>The economic crisis in Greece has proved to be a source of inspiration for some upcoming Greek artists. Determined and passionate singer/songwriter Ilia Darlin from Piraeus, an urban area of Athens stands among them. Ilia's upheaval in the music scene has cast a new light on southern Europe as a breeding ground of pop music enthusiasts. Having travelled all over the world seeking references and inspiration, Ilia decided to drop anchor in London for a few years, where she worked with a number of writers and producers and refined her performance skills. Though her attachment towards her roots and origins eventually eclipsed, it dawned on her that she felt a need to tell a story through the filter of her native land, indubitably less idyllic yet sentimentally authentic and powerfully evocative. </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Her first music video under EMI "Hit me", recorded in New York with producer Billy Mann is a powerful flow of images drawing on the Mediterranean subculture, with its bad teenage bikers, gaudy cemeteries and sex hotels. The title alone, one might assume, conveys a sharp message that strives to veer off from fixed aesthetics and contemporary musical frameworks, hailing from Greece to the rest of the world. </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Her second single "Even when I lose" is set to be released in conjunction with the Greek elections in June 2012. This upbeat romanticised bitter-sweet pop has a powerful message not to be missed</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Make no mistake Ms Darlin is definitely one to watch in 2012.</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Sound Cloud </strong><a href="http://soundcloud.com/ilia-darlin/even-when-i-lose">http://soundcloud.com/ilia-darlin/even-when-i-lose</a></p><p>Video <strong> </strong><a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xri6yv_even-when-i-lose-i-m-winning-ilia-darlin-official-videoclip_music" target="_blank">http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xri6yv_even-when-i-lose-i-m-winning-ilia-darlin-official-videoclip_music</a></p><p> </p><p> </p><p align="center"><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>For more information please contact Vicky Berry on <a href="mailto:vicky@quitegreat.co.uk">vicky@quitegreat.co.uk</a> and Sibel Arzulu on <a href="mailto:publicity3@quitegreat.co.uk">publicity3@quitegreat.co.uk</a> 01223 844440</strong></p><p align="center"><strong> </strong></p><p align="center"><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p align="center"><strong> </strong></p><p align="center"><strong>SOME INFO ON ILIA DARLIN:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>POP JUSTICE link </strong>HYPERLINK "<a href="http://www.popjustice.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5981&Itemid=9">http://www.popjustice.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5981&Itemid=9</a>" t "_blank"<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">http://www.popjustice.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5981&Itemid=9</span></strong></li><li><strong>POP TRASH ADDICTS link </strong>HYPERLINK "<a href="http://www.poptrashaddicts.blogspot.com/2012/01/ilia-darlin-returns-with-hit-me.html">http://www.poptrashaddicts.blogspot.com/2012/01/ilia-darlin-returns-with-hit-me.html</a>" t "_blank"<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">http://www.poptrashaddicts.blogspot.com/2012/01/ilia-darlin-returns-with-hit-me.html</span></strong></li><li>HYPERLINK "<a href="http://2020k.wordpress.com/2012/01/21/ilia-darlin-releases-hit-me-video/">http://2020k.wordpress.com/2012/01/21/ilia-darlin-releases-hit-me-video/</a>" t "_blank"<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">2020k.wordpress.com/2012/01/21/ilia-darlin-releases-hit-me-video/</span></strong></li><li>HYPERLINK "<a href="http://europopped.com/iliadarlin-releases-hot-hit-me-video">http://europopped.com/iliadarlin-releases-hot-hit-me-video</a>" t "_blank"<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">europopped.com/iliadarlin-releases-hot-hit-me-video</span></strong></li><li>HYPERLINK "<a href="http://mp4-video.ru/news/ilia_darlin_hit_me_2012_mp4/2012-01-23-24369">http://mp4-video.ru/news/ilia_darlin_hit_me_2012_mp4/2012-01-23-24369</a>" t "_blank"<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">http://mp4-video.ru/news/ilia_darlin_hit_me_2012_mp4/2012-01-23-24369</span></strong></li></ul><p align="center"><strong> </strong></p><p align="center"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Quotes:</span></p><p align="center">Super Super Magazine: "the most inspiring thing to come from Mount Olympus since the muses"</p><p align="center">Pop Trash Addicts: "Don't mess with this bitch!
