Miki Solus, a singer-songwriter from Zagreb known for his unique combination of humor, irony and experimental approach to popular music, released a new single "Tonska proba".
It is a song that unadornedly dissects one of those moments that puts every musician in front of his own anxiety — the tone rehearsal phase before the concert, while the space is still empty, the technique is still, and the stage is waiting to "come alive". In this song, Solus uses rhythm and lyrics to evoke inner chaos: from technical preparations with microphone feedback to the psychological stress that occurs when the performer and the team try to "capture" the perfect sound.
Thus, what should be routine turns into an almost mythical moment of temptation, where every fader and cable has its own importance. "Tonska proba" is a short, dynamic single released on January 23, 2026 under the Menart and Sipa Music labels, and it fits into a wider oeuvre of Solus' works that combine accessibility and an emphasized introspective narrative.
The music and text harmoniously outline the less glamorous side of musical life, where behind each performance there is a series of preparatory, often anxious phases — and Solus turns it into an artistic expression of a recognizable style.
"Miki Solus presents a new music video for the song "Tonska proba", a chaotic and painfully precise dedication to one of the most stressful rituals of concert life - the moment when the club is still empty, nerves are thin, and the fate of the band is in the hands of the person behind the mixing desk," says the description of the video.
