Criticism
The song "Ipofero" was Vandi's crossover single into experimenting with pop music and electronica instead of solely Laïka. This naturally provoked some media to criticize her image change and further sparked talks of the Despina Vandi versus Anna Vissi supposed rivalry which has been the subject of scrutiny in Greek media tabloids. The song has triggered accusations of it being a rip-off by composer Phoebus of the 1995 dance-pop/trip-hop hit "Insomnia" by British dance group Faithless. Although the two songs share a similar tune, the accusations have never been verified.
