Croatian band Silente return with their new single "Prije ili kasnije", a deeply emotional song that once again showcases the group's unique ability to combine intimate storytelling with expansive pop-rock arrangements.
The music and arrangement were written by Tibor Karamehmedović, while the lyrics come from Sanin Karamehmedović, widely regarded as one of the most distinctive lyricists in the region. Over the years, Sanin has developed a recognizable poetic voice, crafting songs that transform everyday emotions into layered narratives open to personal interpretation. Rather than offering simple answers, his lyrics invite listeners to discover their own experiences within them, revealing new meanings with every listen.
Production, mixing and mastering were handled by Superflipp and Filip Vidović (Matterhorn Music), delivering a polished yet organic sound that preserves Silente's emotional identity while embracing a contemporary production aesthetic.
The accompanying music video was directed, shot, edited and enhanced with visual effects by Dario Radusin. Filmed at the spectacular Orsula Park overlooking Dubrovnik, the video embraces the natural landscape, light and open space to reinforce the song's reflective atmosphere. Its restrained visual language allows the emotions to remain at the forefront, creating a seamless dialogue between image and music.
Today, Silente consists of Lara Viktorija Ilić, Tibor Karamehmedović, Sanin Karamehmedović, Ivana Čuljak, and Ivuša Gojan. With "Prije ili kasnije", the band once again demonstrates why it remains one of the most distinctive voices in the contemporary regional music scene, staying true to its artistic identity while continuing to evolve creatively.
