Milica Pavlovic released her sixth studio album „Caka” on June 25, a 10-track project she had been working on for more than a year. The singer announced the release on her Instagram, and within hours it became the top talking point on the Serbian music scene. The reason is not only the new music.
The most emotional detail of the entire project is hidden in the songwriting credits. Five of the 10 tracks were written by Ljiljana Jorgovanovic, a journalist and songwriter who died in November 2025. Her lyrics have become part of „Caka” even after her passing, something the singer says made her even more determined to deliver the project flawlessly.
In the announcement, Pavlovic described the album as a story about “her hundred lives,” a phrase she repeated when speaking about the video for the title track. The clip runs five minutes and is built like a short film, with 13 different scenes and three directors working on a single project. That approach is rare on the Serbian scene, where videos are usually shot in a single day and a single setting.
What makes „Caka” different from anything Milica has done before?
The answer lies in ambition. Instead of a simple collection of singles, Pavlovic built „Caka” as a complete, rounded work, with cinematic visuals and an authorial stamp that goes beyond standard pop production. Thirteen scenes in one video are not decor, they are a narrative, and three directors mean three distinct styles merged into a single story.
The greatest weight, however, is carried by the songs penned by Ljiljana Jorgovanovic. Her work has long been recognized on the scene, and the fact that five of her lyrics live on this album gives „Caka” a dimension that marketing cannot manufacture. It is a tribute that cannot be faked.
During promotion, Pavlovic also mentioned confidentiality agreements tied to the production, along with the announcement of a new tour, suggesting the album was not conceived as a one-off hit but as the foundation for a larger run of concerts. The singer is clearly betting that „Caka” has enough strength to carry her through the coming season.
How did the scene react to the new album?
Reactions from colleagues were quick and largely positive. Several well-known faces from the Serbian scene publicly congratulated Pavlovic and shared parts of the album on their own profiles, fueling public interest in the first hours after release.
Not everyone, though, was kind. Jelena Karleusa mocked the album on social media, shifting part of the attention from the music to the already familiar rivalry between the two singers. Pavlovic did not respond officially, and her team says the focus is solely on the music and the upcoming tour.
What stays beyond any dispute is that „Caka” is the most personal project of Pavlovic’s career, an album that combines cinematic production, a new tour, and a tribute to a writer who is no longer here. Could that be exactly why „Caka” lingers longer than her previous hits?
