Josipa Lisac first single (1969)


Impossibly young josipa Lisac started in pop band "Zlatni Akordi" and they regularly played at local clubs and dances,mostly covering contemporary foreign hits but when the time came for her own solo introduction, she had to play the game and sing on popular mainstream pop festivals where wider audience will hear her music. It was all fine to be liked locally in the clubs but real success was a big festival stage happening that was covered nationally.


"Naša ljubav" (Our love) is bombastic ballad typical of the times,performed on Zagreb festival 1969 - nothing extraordinary here,only that voice thundering above some forgettable lyrics and the music is dangerously close to a waltz. This is sound of a young artist still finding her sound and place. "Nitko nije kao ti" (Nobody like you) is much better, beat song about no good lover who cheats and lies and girl understand this but is still head over hills in love with him. It has rhythm and is much closer to what Lisac was doing at the beginning while in a group - everything about this song suggest young Cher from her 1960s recordings, with similar style of singing and the sound is very much the same, specially when Lisac dives into deep notes.
