Inkubator Dobre Glazbe

Music in the Age of Corona means loads of streamed concerts, communication via social media, listening to new songs on the radio in the comfort of our homes and discovering interesting stuff on streaming services. It also means discovering a whole new way to create our Incubator.

Just as always we bring you some musical news, new songs from our music scene, a glance of HR Top 40 and an album that brings smiles. And that`s just how we`d describe this week`s episode - filled with optimism and smiles. Exactly what we need these days...

Following the cancellation of the NBA season, Champions League and the Croatian First Football League, it`s debatable whether the European Football Championship is going to happen either.

Oh, Kornelije and Ana have also been separated by COVID-19. But don`t be saddened, our favorite duo found a way to film the new episode "together but apart" - Ana is reporting from home this week and she is eager to bring you some of the best Croatian music.

Back to the news - We`re witnessing a new trend. Concerts have become streaming events. Also, new music is coming to streaming platforms. Rita Ora, Ava MAX, The Killers and Justin Timberlake have all recently blessed us with new music.

And not just them. Croatian music scene is equally lively. This weeks Incubator is proof. Amongst many others, we`ll hear songs by Nina Badrić, Mia Negovetić, Jure Brkljača and Damir Kedžo. Album of the week belongs to Baltazar who bring us some hard rock sounds.
