Sofia Katsaros is a lovely and engaging singer-songwriter based in Athens, Greece. This past April I featured her sultry dance single “Perfect”, a collaboration she did with Italian composer and producer Chris Keya. Now she returns with a new single “Aphrodite,” an infectious dance pop song that’s both entertaining and life-affirming, with a positive message of female empowerment. For this song, she teamed up with the renowned New York-based producer Alvin Anthony, who produced her 2019 single “With You Here Tonight”. Together, they co-wrote the music and lyrics, and Anthony produced, arranged, mixed and mastered the track.

Acknowledging the myriad difficult times we’re all currently going through in this world, Katasaros and Anthony wanted the song to convey the following message:

“Aphrodite, goddess of erotic love and beauty, was one of the ancient Greek gods of Olympus. Love and desire were her powers, and she had a special belt that could enchant anyone to fall in love with the person wearing it. Like Aphrodite, all women are also powerful and should not settle for less than what they deserve, or become victims to abusive relationships. Our goal is to help all women understand they have an inner goddess Aphrodite that they carry inside them. It’s time to unleash your special powers and say NO to a partner that does not respect or treasure you, and say YES to a partner that knows your extraordinary worth and value, and who will treat you like the goddess you really are. Know your own worth and own your inner goddess of beauty, desire and love. Love yourself and let your inner goddess Aphrodite give you the relationship that you deserve.”

Starting with a sensual house-style dance beat that aims straight for the hips, Anthony layers sparkling techno synths, creating an exotic vibe that’s the ideal backdrop for Katsaros’ vibrant vocals as she channels Aphrodite. With an air of cool defiance in her voice, she gives a man who disrespected and tried to control her the kiss off.

Listen up carefully; Show you just how I feel,
You tried to capture me, And tried my heart to steal.
Don’t try and tie me down, And don’t lock me in a cage!
I am a lioness… And I will roar in rage.
‘Cause I’m no match for you I’m wild and mighty
I’m Aphrodite

Loving, the likes of you ain’t worth it no more,
Living, a lie I just can’t bear it no more
I’m fire, I’m much too hot for you to feel
I’m gone, I won’t be there for you babe.

Need someone passionate to show me just how they feel
Need him to capture me and try my heart to steal
Can’t wait to light his fire and be with him all day
I’ll be the spark that ignites his most eternal flame
‘Cause I’m no match for you I’m wild and mighty,
I’m Aphrodite
