King of Čačak is Back!
After seven long years of silence, Nenad Marić, better known as King of Čačak, has finally decided to wake us up with his new album “Good Morning, People.” And this isn’t just any album – it’s a musical storm with 25 tracks that will either wake you up or piss you off, but definitely won’t leave you indifferent.
War, Money, and Brother Killing Brother
The title track and the whole album revolve around an anti-war theme. Marić doesn’t hold back: “Good morning, people, the war continues, brother kills brother in this war, guns held by hands, money pulls the trigger…” This isn’t just a song; it’s a sharp critique of the world we live in, where power and conflict rule, and ordinary people are trapped in the chaos.
Seven Years of Waiting and Fighting the System
Why the long wait? Marić reveals that recording an album in Serbia today is a nightmare. Lack of infrastructure, shamefully low budgets for culture, and kitsch declared as official art suffocate creativity. Artists like him have to fight like lions to create something worthy of attention.
A Mix of Genres and a Personal Diary
The album is a blend of blues, jazz, cabaret, and rock’n’roll. For Marić, genre is just a tool to express his thoughts and feelings. The songs are like a personal diary, created over years, carrying the marks of time and changes the author has experienced.
Collaboration with His Brother as a Family Ritual
Producer Marko Marić, Nenad’s brother, is not just a collaborator but an essential part of the creative process. Their collaboration is closer to a family ritual than an artistic duel, giving the album special depth and sincerity.
Concert as an Extension of the Song
The album premiere will be at Zappa Bar, where the band will perform new and old hits. Marić says the concert is an extension of the song, a place where the audience and artist meet and share energy that technology can never replace.
Final Message
King of Čačak refuses to stay indifferent to the collapse of value systems and a culture that has become empty and dangerous. His call is clear: wake up, people! Good morning before it’s good night.
If you thought music is just entertainment, think again. This album is a call to wake up, to think, and to fight against superficiality and materialism suffocating us. So, what do you think? Ready to hear this scream from Čačak? Or will you fall asleep again? Drop a comment, let’s see who’s still awake!
