	posted a review of Alexandra Sladjana* - Animal Tested. over 12 years ago Released 12 years after her last studio album, "Animal tested" finds veteran signer doing completely left turn and instead of following any predictable option Slađana Milošević goes head-on hard rock - its all screaming guitars, snarling vocals and...

	posted a review of Slađana* & Neutral Design - Neutralni Design. over 12 years ago Slađana Milošević bravely attempted to be cutting edge in 1983 - even the album cover screams 1980s - assembling help from foreign musicians (this was a big deal back than, to show off names and studios on a cover) and rolling in the bed sheets as...

	posted a review of Slađana Milošević, Ljudi - Recept Za Ljubav. over 12 years ago "Recept za ljubav" iz sweet rip off from Blondie sound - nothing original here but finally I hear Milošević doing decent Debbie Harry imitation and she is quite good at it, pulling enough sex appeal and sensuousness to cover that serious lack of...

	posted a review of Slađana* - Sexy Dama. over 12 years ago "Sexy dama" was one of Slađana Milošević's biggest early hits from her singles days - also it points all the traps and limitations of the business that thrives on shock value: to top her previous releases and assert herself in macho rock world,...

	posted a review of Slađana* - Simpatija. over 12 years ago "Simpatija" is a cutest little forgotten disco number that probably makes Milošević cringe today and rightly so, because it is so cutesy - but since author of this review is unrepentant lover of camp, it has a huge appeal to me. It was performed on... See full review
	posted a review of Sladjana Milošević* - Au-Au. over 12 years ago Infectious, funky number with a killer hook in refrain and a great fun, this single was self-financed first step in Belgrade's rockbird discography. To be honest, I must admit here that previously I always somehow underrated Slađana Milošević because... See full review
	posted a review of Oliver Mandić - Dođe Mi Da Vrisnem Tvoje Ime. over 12 years ago Last in a trilogy of Mandić's 1980s albums and a disappointing letdown after his previous work. Where earlier music of Oliver Mandić was hip, urban and decidedly professionally produced, making it light years away from typical local competition and... See full review
	posted a review of Sladjana* - Gorim Od Želje Da Ubijem Noć. over 12 years ago Surprisingly strong debut album by Belgrade-born rock singer released back in 1979, just at the start of her long career. Slađana Milošević had never struck me as specially interesting vocalist and to be honest, back in the day she seems to have been... See full review
	posted a review of Dušan Jakšić* - Melodije Domaćih Autora. over 12 years ago Dušan Jakšić was a booming baritone omnipresent on recordings of late 1950s/early 1960s pop festivals. His voice, very melodic, somewhat grandfatherly, masculine and theatrical, was completely reflection of its times, when such things as proper... See full review
	posted a review of Djordje Marjanović, Kvartet P. Ivanovića I Plavi Ansambl - Mustafa. over 12 years ago "Mustafa" (1961) found young singer at the first wave of national hysteria - in spite of all criticism, previous year Marjanović got his big festival debut (Opatija '60) and won three awards, amongst fierce competition of singers from every corner of...

	posted a review of Mavis Staples - You Are Not Alone. over 12 years ago First of all,let me state here how glad I am that somebody like Mavis Staples is still around and have opportunities, offers and will to work. The fact that artist who has half a century of discography behind her is still relevant, loved and sought... See full review
	posted a review of The Staple Singers - Soul Folk In Action. over 12 years ago I love "The Staples Singers" on "Stax" - it was match made in Heaven. They moved nicely with the times without sacrificing anything from their original sound, in fact they just got better by getting the right backing musicians and some real funky... See full review
	posted a review of Lola Novaković - Stari Tužni Tango. over 12 years ago The same year when Lola Novaković recorded impressive Spanish songbook EP, she also did this interesting single with two songs associated with great Italian singer Milva. Where on Spanish EP she was backed by seriously cinematic orchestra of Ferdo... See full review
	posted a review of Lola Novaković - Pjeva Španjolske Pjesme. over 12 years ago Very interesting EP with music from Spanish movies - for once, Novaković left simple jingles aside and focused on really beautiful, orchestrated music straight from Spanish popular songbook, Carmen and all. It is very impressive, specially when one... See full review
	posted a review of Lola Novaković - Ostavljaš Me Samu. over 12 years ago Great early 1960s songbird emoting trough than popular music landscape and backed with professional orchestra. Novaković had a strong voice and recognizable tone, often matching foreign originals with passion and "tear" in her voice - here she... See full review
	posted a review of Lola Novaković - Babalu. over 12 years ago Lola Novaković is recorded here with Spanish-language movie theme (very clumsy Spanish, I must say) and pronunciation aside, her strong, clear voice is backed with some great arrangements (its truly a bolero). As a sharp contrast to this bolero, B... See full review
	posted a comment on Al Greene* - Don't Hurt Me No More / Get Yourself Together. over 12 years ago Long before he found his voice and different production that would glorify that angelic swoon, Al Green had some excellent work done. This is one of those wonderful singles that definitely deserve re-discovery. Its catchy,has prominent percussion and... See full review
	posted a review of Al Greene* - Back Up Train. over 12 years ago Everything is here - falsetto, moans, swoops and that recognizable voice - you can tell its Al Green from the first moment, thought production and cellophane is different. This is our same old church boy transported back in time, framed with assured,... See full review
