Zoran Mulić - Zoran Mulić

Review by Ryn Jo

Zoran Mulić's self-titled album is a unique and refreshing blend of traditional Balkan music with modern influences. The album showcases Mulić's virtuosic skills on the accordion, as well as his ability to compose and arrange music that is both complex and accessible.

The opening track, "Vranjanka," sets the tone for the album with its energetic rhythms and intricate melodies. Mulić's accordion playing is virtuosic, and the other instruments – including violin, guitar, and percussion – add depth and texture to the sound.

Throughout the album, Mulić explores a variety of moods and styles, from the mournful "Sabačko Kolo" to the upbeat and danceable "Splet Kola." The songs are all expertly crafted, with intricate arrangements and dynamic shifts that keep the listener engaged.

One of the standout tracks is "Bre Petrunko," a traditional Bulgarian song that Mulić has arranged in his own unique style. The song starts off slowly, with a haunting melody played on the accordion, before building to a frenzied climax with rapid-fire accordion playing and driving percussion.

Summary by Ryn Jo

Zoran Mulić is an impressive debut album from a talented musician and composer. The album is a must-listen for fans of Balkan music, as well as anyone who appreciates innovative and genre-bending music.
