"Ljubomora" by Tony Cetinski (1992)



Where on his very first album Cetinski Jr collaborated with composer Đorđe Novković now he turns to composer's son and it makes far more sense because not only both guys are children of famous parents but they are close generation-wise and music by Boris Novković actually suits young singer far better. Novković Sr was still untouchable as a hitmaker but this is the first instance that his son might eventually achieve similar heights as a composer. Where I never found anything remotely interesting or original in singing of Boris Novković, Tony Cetinski is refreshingly good singer - he makes this material sound far better than it is and there are few little pop gems spread around two volumes of this album (confusingly, they are titled same "vol.1" and "vol.2") - " Tebe ne bih mjenjao" was by far the most radio friendly and perhaps Tony's first substantial hit. Live recorded homage to Elvis Presley titled "Elvis in me" suggested that Cetinski is more than ready to jump into dance pop arena and follow Dino Dvornik and Electro Team, which is exactly what he is going to do very soon.
