Parakseno Sinesthima (in Greek Παράξενο συναίσθημα meaning Strange feeling) is the debut album of British-Cypriot singer Sarbel, released in 2005 on the Sony BMG label. The album is in the Greek language and was certified gold. It was re-released in 2006 in a new edition including a greater number of songs and remixes.
Done mostly in a dance-pop style, the album uses many elements of traditional Greek music (laiki) in modern fashion as well as Middle Eastern music. The main success from the album was "Se pira sovara" (in Greek "Σε πήρα σοβαρά"), a cover of the traditional Tunisian song "Sidi Mansour" by Saber Rebaï. Another song from the album, "Skliri kardia" was also a Greek version of "Habibi Dah Nari Narien" made famous Hisham Abbas.
Four singles were released from the album: "Se Pira Sovara", "Sokolata", "Enas apo mas" and "Thelo na petakso".
