Discography overview: the studio albums

by Board team » Opening post

This page lists the studio albums only, with the titles and years we are confident about. Several albums were released in two language versions — Macedonian for the home market and Serbian or Croatian for the wider region — so the same record can appear under two names.

How the sound changed

The first two albums were built with Macedonian songwriters, above all the Grigor Koprov and Ognen Nedelkovski partnership, with contributions from Kire Kostov and others. Ako me pogledneš vo oči took a different route: most songs came from the Greek writer Phoebus and producer-arranger Manolis Vlachos, with lyrics by the Serbian lyricist Marina Tucaković. From 2005 the Croatian team around Miro Buljan and Antonija Šola shaped much of his material, with Macedonian translations by Vlado Janevski.

Božilak stands apart. It is a record of traditional songs — fans know it for versions of standards such as "Jovano, Jovanke" — arranged for a symphonic orchestra. We wrote a separate page about it.

Recognition at home

His first two albums each won Album of the Year and Best Male Vocalist at the Macedonian Golden Ladybug of Popularity awards, and the 2002 album added Song of the Year. The 2002 record was also, famously, the most pirated release in the country, which earned him the joking nickname "King of the Pirates".

Singles, festival entries and duets are not listed here; for the stories behind individual songs, see songs and their stories. Out of respect for the writers, this board never reproduces lyrics.
