Review by U K

Album Review: Simpatija by Slađana – A Pop Rock Time Capsule from 1978 Yugoslavia If you’re into vintage vibes and curious about music that feels like a Polaroid from the past, Simpatija by Slađana is worth your attention. Released in 1978 under the PGP RTB label in Yugoslavia, this album blends pop sensibilities with rock energy to create a sound that’s unmistakably of its time but still holds up today. Arranged by S. Marković and with lyrics penned by M. Tucaković, it’s got that perfect mix of heartfelt emotion and foot-tapping grooves. Let’s zoom in on two tracks that stick out. First up, “Bejbi.” Yeah, I know—it sounds like something you’d hear at a retro roller disco night. But there’s more to it than just nostalgia bait. The melody has this infectious bounce, and Slađana’s voice glides over the instrumentation effortlessly. It’s one of those songs where you find yourself humming along even if you don’t speak the language (guilty as charged). Plus, the way the guitars chime in gives it a bit of an edge, reminding us this isn’t just straight-up bubblegum pop—it’s got some grit underneath. Then there’s the title track, “Simpatija.” This one hits different. There’s a raw sincerity to the lyrics—thanks, M. Tucaković—that makes it feel personal, almost like a diary entry set to music. And when the chorus kicks in? You can practically picture a room full of people swaying with lighters held high (or maybe matches back then?). It’s the kind of song that probably made folks in ‘70s Yugoslavia feel things deeply, whether they were dancing at a club or just zoning out alone. What stands out most about Simpatija is how it balances accessibility with soul. Sure, it’s polished enough to be radio-friendly, but there are moments where the production lets the humanity shine through cracks. That’s rare for an album of this era, especially coming from Yugoslavia—a country whose rich musical history often gets overlooked outside its borders. Reflecting on this record now, it feels oddly comforting. Maybe it’s because we could all use a little more analog charm these days. Or maybe it’s because listening to Simpatija reminds me that great music doesn’t need bells and whistles to leave an impression. Either way, give it a spin—you might just stumble upon your new old favorite jam. Oh, and fun fact? If you ever meet someone who owned this LP back in the day, chances are they’ve got stories to match the vibe.
