Severina announces new song with provocative photos, sparking debate

Croatian pop star Severina has ignited a lively discussion among her followers with a series of provocative photos and suggestive lyrics teasing her upcoming song, "Pozovi me ti" (Call Me). The images, featuring the singer in black lingerie, a corset, and stockings, were shared on social media, accompanied by lyrics that read: "Call me, you, into your bed, when you tuck her in… Call me so, so I can teach her what you allow…"

Call me, you, into your bed, when you tuck her in… Call me so, so I can teach her what you allow…

These visuals and lyrics are a prelude to her new song, "Pozovi me ti," scheduled for release on August 6. This track is part of a larger musical "trilogy" that began with her song "Nisam kriva ja" ('Bezosjećajna'), which has already garnered over a million views on YouTube. The singer is set to release another song this week.

People still think singers sing songs about their personal lives. That's called artistic expression.

The accompanying photos, some taken in front of a large mirror, have polarized Severina's audience. A segment of her followers criticized the content as excessively provocative, while another group rallied in support, framing it as a form of artistic expression rather than a reflection of her private life.

If this were a scene from a movie, no one would say anything.

Adding to the discourse, fellow artist Ella Dvornik weighed in on the debate. She argued that audiences frequently conflate performers with the narratives in their songs. "People still think singers sing songs about their personal lives. That's called artistic expression," Dvornik stated, drawing parallels to theater where actors portray different roles. She also pointed out that Severina was more clothed than many people at a beach, challenging the critics' perspective.

Besides, she's wearing more clothes than all of you right now at the beach.
