Montenegrin festivals gave birth to a large number of hits, and "Sunčane skale" from 1997 is remembered for the ballad "Da si tu" by the late Montenegrin musician Igor Perazić.With this single, Igor won the second award for composition, and the audience will have the opportunity to hear it as part of the New Year's program of Television News. Namely, for the needs of the program, the track was recorded by his sister Renata Perazic.
"It is complicated and difficult to sing Igor's songs, because he brought them with a special emotion, but I tried to express them in the right way. His songs are a special story and generally his interpretation. He was a cellist, which is the instrument whose sound is most similar to the human voice. The way he played, the way he sang, the way he delivered the phrases, the singing technique was perfect. Now that I was recording it, I didn't have too much time for studio work, although I am constantly practicing and working on myself, but the blockage was terrible for me to record his song. This is one of his most beautiful songs. During the interpretation, my feelings were intertwined", said Renata, who sang backing vocals for each of Igor's songs:
"Even the colors of our voices intertwine in the lower laga. And this song is special to me because I address him 'if he is here', because despite his physical departure, he is always there for me", adds the interviewee of Vijesti.
Renata is one of the performers of the joint track that will be premiered as part of the New Year's program on December 31.
"He composed Daniel Alibabic, while Marijana Kadić Bojanić did a wonderful text. Everyone has their part in it, and we all sing the chorus together with the children's choir from the D-moll school. It's a beautiful New Year's song with a message," said Perazić.
Although she has been in music all these years, her last song was presented at Pjesma Mediterana in 1998. It is the song "Head Up", but Renata decided not to perform it as part of the New Year's program.
"I like that song both then and now. It was made in a funk style, a direction that I really like and will never get old, because it always pushes forward", says Renata.
He composed the song Vladimir Marash, while signing the text Golio Strudlić. It's another alias Goran Nikčević (Brčko Brčković).
"In those years, the Komuna publishing house was behind Pejesma Mediterana, and it was the strongest festival then. When I was told that the song was accepted, they checked the authors with me and said that the text was signed by Golio Štrudlić. Since I didn't know that Goran was a song writer under that name, I started arguing with them and found out that he insisted on being signed as Golio Štrudlić. We were laughing afterwards", recalled Renata, who was won over by this track at the first listen.
"Maro played me a demo and I liked it. However, the text was a problem, so he entrusted it to Brcko. I like challenges, I don't like ordinary things. The song is full of certain associations, very bold and interesting and bold at that time (let's say the verse 'don't ever run out of fuel'). Even today, if they offered it to me, I would record it, it has a groove in it, my style, that's where I swim best", admits Perazić, who has not been active in recording for the last two decades, even though she has been in music all these years.
"I decided to do pedagogical work. We don't have a publishing house, so we need a lot of resources to record songs, and I never even listened to commercial music to be able to get closer to the audience. I can sing pop, but that's not it. Later came children, and some more difficult years. Both before and after that I sang backing vocals, I am constantly in music, but singing is my hobby. During all these years, there were also a lot of club gigs, I was active until the corona virus," recalls Perazić, who is also one of the lecturers at the D-moll singing school this year.
"There are talented students, we teach them singing techniques, we make good interpreters out of them", concludes Perazić. MV
