Jiří Korn - Nejsi Kroužím

Review by Esa Isopahkala

Album Review: Nejsi Kroužím by Jiří Korn – A Retro Pop Gem from 1981 If you’ve ever stumbled across Czechoslovakian pop music from the '80s, chances are you’ve heard whispers of Nejsi Kroužím. Released in 1981 under the legendary Supraphon label, this album by Jiří Korn feels like a time capsule. It’s not perfect, but it doesn’t need to be. The record is packed with raw charm and melodic hooks that stick with you long after the needle lifts. Let’s dive into two standout tracks. First up, there’s “Kroužím.” This track grabs your attention right away with its breezy arrangement and lush orchestration courtesy of Taneční Orchestr Čs. Rozhlasu. Conductor J. Vobruba deserves a shoutout here; he somehow balances upbeat energy with a dreamy vibe that feels both nostalgic and fresh. There’s just something about the way the strings swell—it’s like walking through Prague on a crisp autumn day. You can practically smell the chestnuts roasting at the market stalls. Then there’s “Nejsi (Lady).” Oh man, this one hits different. It’s got this smooth groove that sneaks up on you, almost hypnotic in its simplicity. The lyrics? Heartfelt without being cheesy. Korn’s voice carries an earnestness that makes you believe every word he sings. I mean, who hasn’t felt that ache of longing for someone who seems impossibly out of reach? Bonus points for Pavel Jasanský’s photography work on the cover—it perfectly matches the mood of the songs inside. What really stands out about Nejsi Kroužím is how unpretentious it is. This isn’t some high-concept art project trying too hard to impress critics. Instead, it’s an honest collection of tunes made for people who love melodies that linger. Sure, some parts might feel dated now, but isn’t that part of the appeal? It reminds us where we came from musically and culturally. Here’s the thing—this album shouldn’t work as well as it does. On paper, it sounds like another generic pop release from the era. But once you press play, it becomes clear that Jiří Korn and his team poured their hearts into these recordings. Even the credits tell a story: everyone involved seemed committed to creating something special within the constraints of their time and place. And hey, here’s a random thought: listening to Nejsi Kroužím today feels kinda rebellious. In a world obsessed with playlists and instant gratification, sitting down with an old-school vinyl like this forces you to slow down. Maybe that’s why it still resonates so deeply. Or maybe I’m overthinking it. Either way, if you’re hunting for quirky yet soulful European pop, give this one a spin. Trust me—you won’t regret it.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: The 1981 Czechoslovakian pop album *Nejsi Kroužím* by Jiří Korn is a hidden gem from the era of Supraphon, the iconic record label. It features the track "Kroužím," which has this dreamy, timeless vibe. Fun detail—Pavel Jasanský not only took the photos but also designed the cover, giving it that perfect artistic touch. And let’s not forget the Taneční Orchestr Čs. Rozhlasu backing it all up with their lush sound. Pretty neat how everything came together under conductor J. Vobruba, right?

Naprosto luxusní písnička - text je nádherný a zpěv pana Korna nemá chybu....ačkoli se mi písnička v podání Kennyho Rogerse velmi líbí, tak ta od našeho zpěváka je ještě lepší!!!!!
