  1. "Zar je ljubav spala na to"
    Released: 15 September 2022
  2. "Grizem"
    Released: 21 October 2022

Work on the album began in 2019 after the success of Rozga's acoustic performance on narodni radio. Nevertheless, due to restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the scrapped initial work, the album was only finalized in 2022. Making a reference to Magazin's 1996 single "Minut' srca mog", Rozga decided to dedicate the album to her faithful audience and people who use their heart as a guide in life.

Promotion of the album in Serbia and the wider Balkan region will take place in November 2022. The first single off the album, "Zar je ljubav spala na to" featuring Matija Cvek was released on 15 September 2022 along with a music video. "Grizem", originally recorded for the singer's second studio album Bižuterija (2011), was released as the second single off the album on 21 October 2022.


Conception


"They say, the one who wants to sing will always find a song, and in front of you, you have songs which have found me. A lot of wonderful songs have marked my life and choosing the ones which would be included in this album I neither knew nor could do alone, so I listened to the one thing that never gave me a bad advice in the twenty seven years of my career, my heart. The twelve beautiful songs which celebrate life and the power of love I dedicate to my audience, to the person who finds a part of themselves in my songs, the audience which supports me without reserves in all my dreams."

—Jelena Rozga, 2022[1]

Jelena Rozga first announced her plans of working on an acoustic album during interviews in 2019.[2] The conception of the album came following the immediate success of her acoustic medley performance of three of her songs "Oprosti mala", "Opijum" and "S druge strane mjeseca" on narodni radio's YouTube channel. She decided together with her producer and main collaborator Tonči Huljić to select some of her older songs, during the era when she served as the lead singer of the band Magazin and make acoustic reworks of them. Although she initially wanted to make it a double-disc album in which she could include many of her discography of over 100 songs, Rozga, Tonči and Vjekoslava Huljić ended up with a selection of 17 songs.[3]

Delays in the album's release happened due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the singer's dissatisfaction with the initial reworks, which she decided to completely scrape. On 9 September 2022, Rozga released a post on Instagram through which she asked fans to help her out with the title of the album.[4] On 15 September 2022, she confirmed that the title of the album would be Minut Srca Mog (English: A Minute of My Heart) in reference to her 1996 single of the same name ("Minut srca tvog") and as a dedication to "all of us, who use their heart as a guide in life".[5] The singer revealed during an interview that while only the opening song "Zar je ljubav spala na to" was rearranged instrumentally and musically, the rest of the songs were included in their original forms only played and sung live. Some newly included instruments include strings, French harmonicas and Mediterranean mandolins.[6]


Promotion


During press releases and interviews in August 2022, Rozga revealed that the album would include 19 acoustic reworks of her songs, including "Ti si želja mog života", "Ne tiče me se", "Dani su bez broja", "Je l' zbog nje", "Ginem", "Opijum", "Grizem", a cover of Minea's "Rano".[7][8] On 3 November 2022, Rozga revealed that the promotion of the album would start on 14 November 2022 in Zagreb.[9] On 13 November, Rozga announced through Instagram that the album, whose track listing and artwork she shared with her fans, would be made available the next day both on YouTube and on other streaming platforms.[1] The following day, she appeared at the Esplanade Zagreb Hotel for a performance of songs from the album; the event was visited by close collaborators, other musicians and family.[10]


Touring


Main article: Rozga Tour

Rozga announced the Rozga Tour, her third headlining tour after eleven years, in May 2022. The tour is set to start in Zagreb, Croatia on December 17, 2022. The tour will also visit other major cities in other countries in the Balkans, such as Split, Belgrade, Skopje, Sarajevo and Ljubljana.[11]


Singles


In August 2022, it was confirmed that the album would open with an acoustic rework of "Zar je ljubav spala na to" featuring Croatian pop vocalist Matija Cvek; a music video for the rework was also announced. Rozga's idea to collaborate with the singer came after she heard his cover of her single "Suze biserne" during his live concerts.[12] "Zar je ljubav spala na to" was originally recorded as a 2001 collaboration between Magazin and Mladen Vojičić Tifa, the former lead singer of the Yugoslav Trock band Bijelo Dugme. The single, produced by Srđan Sekulović – Skansi was released on 15 September 2022 along with a music video directed by Dario Radusin.[5] Upon its release, the song was well received by the press who commended Cvek's vocals and demonstration of talent on the song. Fans were more divided in their response; while some felt that the duo's vocals worked well together, others felt it would be hard to emulate the original featuring Tifa.[13] The single was commercially successful on the HR Top 40, the country's airplay chart, where it peaked at number four for the week ending 29 August 2022.[14]

On 21 October 2022, Rozga announced through her official Instagram account that "Grizem", originally recorded for her second studio album Bižuterija (2011) would be released as the second single from the acoustic album. The decision to release the song came after she felt that it "unjustly" did not reach its full potential during the time of its first release. Rozga added: "It is an empowering song, there has not been a woman who has not found herself in the situation to worry due to something or even worse, due to someone. Women who have not at least once carried the burden of failed love on their backs. [...] Setting boundaries, not wasting a minute on someone who does not deserve you is a process which is imposed on women with years. I am happy that in my 'pockets' I have a song which I sang more and more honestly with the passing of years."[15] The following day, the single was released along with a visuals video directed by Dario Radusin; the singer appears dressed in a short, tassel dress, black high heels and curly hair as she lip-syncs the song to the camera in front of a movie spotlight.[16] Upon its release, both the singer's look in the video and the rework were met with positive critics from the audience.[17] "Grizem" debuted at number 27 on the HR Top 40 for the week ending 24 October 2022 before falling off the chart the following week.[18]
