The End of an Epoch! Significant change in Albanian music

15 Shkurt 2019

For a long time, Albanian singers were afraid of albums and rightly so. In a market where a summer hit sells much more, hardly anyone dare to make an album. However, it seems that artists are returning to the album as a form to bring a musical product that will last much longer than a summer hit, which after a year is forgotten and replaced by another.

Elvana Gjata took note of the era of the album. In February of the previous year, Elvana promoted the EP 3 album through an intimate, simple but spectacular concert in his own way. Under the auspices of Pirro Coco and Darko Dimitrov, today, almost a year later, "3" has millions of clicks; the songs are hit and heard and enjoyed just like the first day.

Tuna is also one of the artists who believes in albums. Though the new projects were not as successful as expected, Tuna would dare with an album to be entrusted to Armend Rexhepagic and Darko Dimitrov. It is not the first time that Tuna cooperates with Rexhepagic. Even some of her best songs, but also of Albanian music, such as "Ticket" and "Inati", are composed by Armendi himself. "It was a pity that songs such as 'Testament', 'Tickets', 'Inati' would end in television archives," she said in an exclusive interview for Anabel about 10 years ago.

"We want to show everyone that to be a true artist, we have to create albums, projects with which to have what we can show them to successive generations," said MC Kresha in an interview with Anabel in 2016 . "United States of Albania" is the newest label of the PINT label, a production of Strike Beatz and K-Master in collaboration with other rappers. "USA", which is the third album where Kresha and Lyrical Son co-operate with both, besides "For Inat t'Noni tjetrit" (2011) and "Rapsodi N'rap T'soti" (2016), will be the next success because MC Kresha and Lyrical Son have proven their success together.

Noizy also appears to have plans to launch a CD in the form of a second CD. "I want to tell you I'm working on a CD album. It will be my second CD album, "says rapper on Instagram.

MC Kreshë's "Rapsodët N'rap T'sot" and Lyrical Son were the first Albanian album for an international market, which just two days after being released on iTunes, Google Play and Amazon managed to rank in the top albums sold in Switzerland, Sweden and Macedonia; in Austria in sixth place and in Germany in the 12th place. Elvana Gjoka's EP "3" songs were as successful as "Where did he go" or "Mike"?

So realizing an album really requires more time and dedication, but if the product is good, success is far greater than a common summer hit.
