Josipa Lisac On Line - Albums

All my love, passion, strength and faith interwoven in this album, are dedicated to my love, Karlo Metikos, in an unshakable belief that there is a life after life…

My thanks first and foremost go to you, my dear friends. Some of the tones, sounds, some of the new melodies and the sincere messages of my latest musical thinking are directed precisely to you. To you, who are always so marvelous, so full of understanding, patience and tolerance, but at the same time so demanding with your expectations of the new, inventive, intriguing and imaginative musical pictures. What a wonderful support you all are! To find a new motive over and over again. To be new, but to remain its own. This was possible to achieve in one of the numerous and idyllic pictures of our beautiful and green Hrvatsko Zagorje (Croatian Zagorje), in CARMEN STUDIO, in the private house of Robert Sipek.

My thanks to Robert very, very much...
... He gave me the treatment and the comfortableness of a true diva, and that, although trivial in its very essence, flatters and pleases all over again and it also makes it possible for an artist to fulfill the dimension of his full creativity in peace and quiet. His own words: "It will be over when it is good" gave us enough of the much needed time (almost full year and a half!!!), with which all of us and especially myself, have gained the much needed security.

My thanks to Gojko Tomljanovic, an extremely gifted musician, for his courage, truthful love, loyalty and his complete dedication to this project... for his extremely difficult and exhausting work... for his almost boyish enthusiasm and passion, in those memorable moments when he would jump up in the air, almost touching the ceiling with his head, as a reaction to some of my singing exhibitions! For me that was indeed an exceptional and impressive compliment. I am not sure whether some other person would be able to realize all those endlessly demanding ideas of mine, with the same amount of readiness and punctuality as he did, implementing them at the same time with his own musical erudition...

My thanks to Ivica Krajac for his beautiful lyrics.
"Yves, your thoughts and messages always have in themselves the exceptional strength and vision and often enough in the future they become the shades of the apparitions that are hard to explain..."

My thanks to all of the musicians and vocalists for their energy, enthusiasm and knowledge. My collaboration with them and our wonderful involvement managed to surprise me with a totally unexpected picture: While all the albums I made so far were accompanied by and celebrated with lots of gourmet specialties, selected wines and champagne, this latest one was soaked only with chocolate... lots and lots of chocolate. It makes a lot of difference from the old days. "O tempora, o mores!"

My thanks to my record company, "Croatia Records", to the manager, Mr. Miroslav Lilic, as well as my old friend Sinisa Skarica, both of whom expected the best; silently and without asking any questions. What a wonderful freedom, support and trust that is!

My thanks to Sasa Cetkovic and his team, and also to Albino Ursic from "Boze sacuvaj" label designing company, for whom I've known for some time now that he is a genius. Sometimes, one sentence, a remark or an observation can really open up a whole new horizon of the ideas that then lead you towards the positive thinking and creativity.

My thanks to Ksenija and Nidjo Vrbanic for their inspiring words...

My thanks to my hairdresser Mila Visnjic who keeps telling me: "I am always with you. When are we going to do something new? I want new!"

My thanks to my friend Alan Hranitelj for his unending invention, as well as his dedicated love and help. His sculptured dress made of aluminum is a true masterpiece.
Therefore...

My thanks to the 'Impol' factory from Slovenska Bistrica, who made it possible for me to lend that extremely attractive and valuable fashion sculpture.

My thanks to my parents and to my sister and friend Mirjana, who, in the silence of love, are always worrying and backing me and are always on my side...

My thanks to my nephew Karlo, who, in his charming moments full of temperament and youthful exuberance, turbo speed and love would say to me: "Well, when are you gonna do something for us the young people?"
Oh, you, the young people! You are the ones that keep me going. I have never stopped being the part of you! I have never let that spirit of youthfulness, so full of defiance, the will for confirmation, enthusiasm, uncertainty and ideals, to leave me! I believe that that is the hidden motive and challenge that makes me to start over, over and over again.
