Franka Batelić, more known by her mononym Franka, premiered her new anthem Bolji Ljudi, reminiscent of what the world has been though for the past year.
“Better People is a song that would best be described by words — hymn-like and sincere. The simple, yet powerful production and melody of the song that motivates, fully contributed to the emotion and put in the foreground the message of the song by which we celebrate the good and faith in the better in people. The gospel choir in the song sounds perfect!”
Ahead of the release yesterday, Franka through narodni.hr stated that the song is ‘definitely one of the most special I’ve recorded.’
“The video is full of wonderful little stories about life. We had a wonderful time on set, the whole team was young, full of inspiration and desire to work. What I have to mention is that Marko Braić, my long-time friend from high school, plays in the video.”
Aside from her single, Franka is looking forward to releasing an album before summer.
Franka was internally chosen by HRT to represent Croatia in the Eurovision Song Contest in Portugal with her song Crazy which unfortunately failed to advance through to the finals and ended in 17th place with 63 points during the first semifinals.
