"Pauza" (English: "Pause") is a song recorded by Bosnian pop recording artist Maya Berović. It was released on 5 March 2016 as the lead single from her upcoming sixth studio album produced by the label Toxic Entertainment. [1] [2] The song was written by Vuksan Bilanović with music by Damir Handanović. [3] It was produced and recorded in Belgrade.
Bosnia and Herzegovina, sometimes called Bosnia–Herzegovina, and often known informally as Bosnia, is a country in Southeastern Europe, located within the Balkan Peninsula. Sarajevo is the capital and largest city.
Maja Berović, professionally known as Maya, is a Bosnian Serb singer. She debuted in 2007 as a turbo-folk singer. Since 2014 she has acquired enormous popularity, becoming one of the leading regional performers, mainly due to her collaboration with Bosnian rappers Jala Brat and Buba Corelli.
Damir Handanović is a Serbian pop-folk composer, pianist, hit-maker, arranger, and producer. Damir produced numerous hits for bestselling artists from former Yugoslavia, including Ceca, Saša Matić, Severina Vučković, Dragana Mirković, Nataša Bekvalac, Ana Nikolić, Maya Berović, Milan Stanković and others. He is also a music editor at RTV Pink. Handanović is the son of folk singer and composer Hašim "Paško" Handanović.
Berović was heavily criticized [4] [5] for her transition from the Ijekavianto dialect of the Bosnian language to ekavian. "Pauza" was the first song in which she sings in the ekavian dialect, used in Serbia. She has stated that this is because her songwriters are from Serbia's capital Belgrade and the difference in dialect had made previous songs difficult to rhyme. [6]
The dialects of Serbo-Croatian include the regional varieties of Serbo-Croatian as a whole or as part of its standard varieties: Bosnian, Croatian, Montenegrin and Serbian. They are part of the dialect continuum of South Slavic languages that joins the Macedonian dialects to the south, Bulgarian dialects to the southeast and Slovene dialects to the northwest.
The Bosnian language is the standardized variety of Serbo-Croatian mainly used by Bosniaks. Bosnian is one of three such varieties considered official languages of Bosnia and Herzegovina, along with Croatian and Serbian, and also an officially recognized minority or regional language in Serbia, Montenegro, and the Republic of Kosovo.
