Diva is the tenth studio album by Serbian singer Jelena Karleuša. It was released on 11 June 2012 under City Records.[1] The record contains ten tracks entirely produced by Nebojša Arežina and Marko Peruničić from Atelje Trag with lyrics written by Marina Tucaković. Musically, Diva draws from electropop, while incorporating elements of dance-pop, pop-folk and hip-hop in its production and beats, which marked a significant departure from her previous work. Karleuša's vocals were noted for the pioneering use of Auto-tune on most of the songs. The general dark sound of the record is deepened with its lyrical themes of sex, love, adultery and revenge, controversially crossed with occasional references to tradition and religion.

Background


Following the release of her previous album, JK Revolution, in 2008 Karleuša took a break from music due to pregnancies with her two daughters. In the summer of 2009, however, she released her greatest hits album titled The Diamond Collection. Karleuša then appeared on the Serbian version of Celebrity Big Brother for two days in March and released single "Insomnia" in December.[3]

In May the following year, she held her first concert in the Belgrade Arena called All About Diva Show in front of 15,000 fans. In November, Karleuša released live album from the concert.

In January, she announced her forthcoming record with a holographic performance of "Muškarac koji mrzi žene" (Man Who Hates Women) on the popular late night talk show, called Ami G Show. Then in June, she had another promotional single, "Nova religija" (New Religion), performed live on Big Brother.
