Dalibor Brun - Zašto Me Ostavljaš

Review by Sabine Kurjo McNeill

Album Review: Zašto Me Ostavljaš by Dalibor Brun (1972) Let’s dive into this little time capsule of Yugoslav pop magic, shall we? Zašto Me Ostavljaš is one of those albums that feels like it was made for summer nights and heartbreaks. Released in 1972 under the Jugoton label, Dalibor Brun gave us a slice of Schlager heaven with his signature voice—smooth yet packed with emotion. You can tell this album wasn’t just slapped together; S. Kalogjera’s arrangements and conducting bring a lushness to the tracks that still holds up today. And hey, props to M. Čolić for the cover photo—it’s simple but somehow fits the vibe perfectly. Now, onto the songs. While every track has its charm, two really stuck with me: the title track “Zašto Me Ostavljaš” and “Moja, Moja.” “Zašto Me Ostavljaš” hits hard right outta the gate. It’s got that classic melancholy Schlager feel where you’re not sure if you wanna cry or grab a drink—or maybe both. The melody lingers long after the song ends, and Dalibor’s delivery makes you feel like he’s singing your personal breakup story. Like, wow, dude gets it. Then there’s “Moja, Moja,” which flips the mood a bit. This one’s more upbeat, almost playful, but don’t let that fool ya—it’s still about love and longing. There’s something addictive about how the chorus repeats “Moja, Moja.” It’s catchy as heck without being annoying, kinda like an earworm you don’t mind hosting. Listening to this album feels like stepping back into Yugoslavia in the ‘70s, when life seemed simpler—but also kinda complicated because, well, love. It’s wild to think this record came out nearly 50 years ago, yet the themes are timeless. Heartbreak doesn’t care what decade it is. One thing I didn’t expect? How much I’d enjoy the orchestration. S. Kalogjera really knew how to layer instruments so they felt warm and alive. It’s like listening to a band play live in your living room. Here’s the kicker though: while Dalibor Brun might not be a household name anymore, this album proves he had serious talent. Honestly, if someone dropped these tunes on Spotify today, I bet they’d blow up. Maybe it’s time for a revival? Either way, Zašto Me Ostavljaš deserves a spot in any retro music lover’s collection. And hey, next time you’re feeling all sorts of emotions, throw this album on. Trust me—it’ll either soothe your soul or make you reach for tissues. Both outcomes are valid.
