Source-derived summary

Pazl (Greek: Παζλ, pronounced [puˈzel]; English: Puzzle) is the 17th studio album by Greek recording artist Katy Garbi and 18th album overall. The album was first released on 18 February 2011 via a promotional campaign with the Greek news website 'in.gr'. The campaign included a free limited-time digital download of the entire album and a contest for a dinner with Garbi. On 28 March 2011, the album was commercially released under Garbi's new signing with Universal Music Greece.

The album is entirely composed by Nikos Antipas, extending her collaboration with him which began on her previous album Kainourgia Ego. The majority of the lyrics are credited to the well-known lyricist with the alias GML, with the exception of two songs, "Sti Fotia Rikse Hrysafi" and "Oi Skepseis", written by famous Greek poet Manos Eleftheriou and Vicki Gerothodorou, respectively.

Background

On 3 November 2009, Garbi released the single "Iheia" and announced a planned re-release of the album Kainourgia Ego which would feature three added songs and a remix. However, as the production was underway, the re-release idea was abandoned, and on 9 February 2010, Garbi announced intentions of releasing an all new album instead. Later that year, Garbi left her longtime label Sony Music Greece and signed with Universal Music Greece.

Release and promotion

Pazl was given a limited released on 19 February 2011 as a free digital download under a promotional campaign with Greek news website "in.gr".

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Pazl” is album by Katy Garbi. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Pazl, album and Katy, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA productive route into publication, performance and collection histories when the underlying object or edition remains clearly identified. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2011, 2009, 2010—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2011. For this dossier, Pazl, album and Katy is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “album by Katy Garbi” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 17, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q7157030. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2011, 2009 and 2010.

Critical limits

Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
