Kemal Monteno Single (1974)


Even so early in his career, Kemal Monteno must have been aware that main hard core of his audience were lovelorn ladies so no wonder he would record a single tailored for them - writing a love ballad with a girl's name sound like sure bet and Monteno would play this trick occasionally. Actually title song is not so special - Monteno sounds like a dream but song is very ordinary and it might as well been called anything, sounds to me like he needed Adrijana simply because of the rhyme. You know, Adrijana na na.


On the other hand, B side brings nice surprise, song "Novembar" that is actually much stronger in both music and lyrics.Its surely upbeat, have some rhythm and melodic hook that flies to the sky. If you ask me, "Novembar" should have been A side - its really a pleasure to hear Monteno in a good upbeat song for a change.
