Recording and production

edit

In 2020 and 2021, the band recorded sixteen new songs for the double album in the Plavi Film Studio in Zagreb, Croatia. The arrangement of all songs on the album was jointly signed by Sejo Sexon, Toni Lović, and all other members of the group. The only guest on the album is Croatian blues musician and harmonica player Tomislav Goluban.[3] The band is collaborating with Elvis J. Kurtović on this album for the first time after a 15-year break.[4][5][6] Elvis J. Kurtović was a band member during the 1990s.

One of the authors of the song "Ne okreći se sine" (transl. Don't Look Back, My Son), Goran Kostić, died in 2017.[7]

The band announced the double album with a new single and music video for the song "Ekrem". The music video was directed by Tomislav Fiket and the actor Asim Ugljen is in the title character of Ekrem.[8][9][10][11][12]

Previously, in June 2020, a music video was released for the song "Korona hit pozitivan" (transl. Coronavirus hit positive). The song was made in collaboration with Elvis J. Kurtović, a former band member,[13][14] and was added to the album.
