The EP album "Zanin" by Elhaida Dani was well received by the public, although among them there were comments that compared her to Elvana Gjata.
Some of the comments were: "Elvana Gjata style," "Imitation of Elvana Gjata down to the details," "Elvana Gjata mode on," "Elhaida Dani is a genuine singer who in every scene she has been successful has succeeded with its special. Every singer who is genuine and has received applause from the public, I have always adored, but to say the truth, that some clips of Elhaida are very similar to Elvana Gjata. "I do not like that Elvana will be photocopied."
The comparisons seem to refer to Elvana's album "Çelu", published a while ago and accompanied by music videos, just like the songs in "Zanin".
In an interview with T7, Elhaida said that "it is not true" that he copied Elvana. She added that Elvana was the first to bring this style of making music and paved the way for other artists.
"To be honest, it is true that Elvana was the first to bring back Albanian music in this kind of style, in this kind of modern way, and I appreciated it a lot, because someone had to do it. Elvana did it so well that she brought it back into fashion, let's say, so she made room for any other artist to do it. ”
