Decenija (English: A Decade) is the eleventh studio album by Serbian singer Ceca. It was released in 2001. [1]

Contents

Often regarded as "Ceca's best album", it is considered her comeback album after her withdrawal from the public scene following the assassination of her then-husband, Željko Ražnatović Arkan, who was assassinated in 2000.

"Decenija" is Ceca's best selling album to-date with more than 800,000 copies sold. [2]

About the album

After a long break in her career due to a assassination of her than husband Arkan, Ceca returns to the stage with an album "Decenija" (A Decade) and presents her fans who have been eagerly awaiting her return with a new album that many, after all the tragic events, call the album of Ceca's career. The symbolically titled "Decenija" was permeated with hidden sadness and pain, with songs that revealed the soul of a suffering woman and those that called for joy, hope and exhilaration.

Song "Dragane moj" (Dragane of mine) is particularly associated with Ceca's late husband, as the audience felt the emotional charge that Ceca expressed in that song, and all the others, such as the title track "Decenija", "Zabranjeni grad" (Forbidden City), "Zadržaću pravo" (I’ll keep my right), also carried some symbolism and connection with Ceca's tragedy. This album was not without a musical shift either, so Ceca, for the first time, presents herself in a different musical direction in the song "39.2", which is in a techno style with very unusual lyrics. All songs are written and dedicated to her late husband. The album sold 800,000 copies.
