Review — Glazba.hr on Sara Renar’s Nježne riječi
Ivana Lulić reviews Nježne riječi, Sara Renar’s fifth studio album for Croatia Records, and calls it her most complete and most personal record so far. Cycle Studio Zagreb recorded and mixed the album, and the review credits the production to Jan Kinčl and Renar.
What the piece covers
The review walks through all eight tracks, the bilingual writing and the move beyond straight alt-rock, and singles out the album’s consistency of tone. Arrangements are credited to Renar with Dimitrije Simović, production to Jan Kinčl and Renar. The singles were Smile and Wave, Nježne riječi and Pustinja / The Desert, all three of which also have their own pages in our work.
In the review
“Besides being the author of the music and lyrics, Renar also took part in the arrangements, with Dimitrije Simović, further shaping the dynamics and character of the songs. It was produced by Jan Kinčl and Renar herself, leaving the album sonically consistent with her own vision.”
