She is one of the most significant and eminent figures on the Croatian music scene, and her career has already spanned nearly 60 years. By the age of 13, Zdenka began working as a professional singer with the duo “Hani,” later taking a trip through the global pop music scene before her return to Croatia. By 1978, she was ready to release her first solo album, which is impossible to find today and fetches prices of 300 Euros or more for an original in good condition. It is a very colorful affair you are about to put on your turntable when you grab a copy of this newly released, first-ever reissue of this funky gem.

Zdenka and her team of producers combined disco-funk, haunting electronic pieces, lush soulful ballads, and glam-oriented power pop with a rock edge, all tied together by one common denominator: the utterly distinctive and charismatic voice of Mrs. Kovačiček. She could easily be a Black disco queen in the vein of Donna Summer, and I would certainly think so if I hadn’t seen her picture beforehand.

The Croatian language also adds a great touch of exotica to the entire album. The music itself is Western-oriented, funky, soulful, bluesy, and glam, with modal jazz elements. It feels honest and from the heart, from the first song to the last. You could say that Zdenka Kovačiček plays the music that was popular at the time this album was recorded, with a twist of her own spirit thrown in, which ultimately makes it an outstanding and colorful record. Drop the needle anywhere on this black pearl, and you will inevitably be swept up by an irresistibly hot groove and left in a joyful mood.
