Background
editIn 1993, Žera took part in the first Bosnian selection for a representative at Eurovision with the song "Monroe". The song won the 4th place[1]
In 1994, he moved to Croatia,[2] and the following year he recorded a duet with Severina on the album Trava zelena.
Content
editThis album was the first to have Crvena jabuka in their new lineup. There were many songwriters on the album including Saša Lošić.
The album's hit single was "Sanjam te" which was performed by Dražen Ričl, and Aljoša Buha before their deaths in 1986. Then it was re edited by the rest of the band.
There were some guest appearances on this album. First was Alen Vitasović on the song "Vraćam se tebi seko" as well as Saša Lošić on "Bijeli Bozić". Originally, Tifa was supposed to perform "Vraćam se tebi seko" with band,[3] but it hadn't appeared. Version with Tifa leaked on the Internet many years later.[4]
Although the album is called U tvojim očima, there is no such song on the album according to the track listing. Though the phrase is mentioned on some songs such as "Sanjam te", and "Kao da sanjam". Also what is unique about this album is that next to 1991's Nekako s' Proljeca it is missing the band's logo-a red apple.
Album also includes cover of COD's hit "Deni".[5] Cover also contain sample of "Jedna mala plava na ramenu mi spava" by Pro Arte.[6]
