Croatian singer Zvonimir Kalić has unveiled his new single and music video, "U Tebi nađem mir" (In You I Find Peace). This release serves as a prelude to his second studio album dedicated to spiritual music, following his debut "Bog je velik u životu mom" (God Is Great in My Life).
The new track features a collaboration with author Filip Brkanac, who penned both the music and lyrics. Viktor Kesler arranged and produced the song, with Kesler Studio handling the production. Kalić expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration, emphasizing his commitment to original work. "Many who follow me know how much I love original work and how much I strive to nurture it in my songs. That's precisely why I am especially pleased with the collaboration with Filip Brkanac," Kalić stated.

The song's creation was spontaneous, stemming from a shared performance at a wedding near Zagreb. Brkanac later proposed the new composition to Kalić, who was immediately captivated. "The song won me over from the very first listen. I immediately felt its strength and sincerity, and then Viktor Kesler and I began developing the arrangement and production," Kalić recalled.

"U Tebi nađem mir" delivers a universal message about faith, asserting that true comfort, joy, and strength are found in God, despite worldly challenges and fleeting pleasures. "The greatest peace, love, and fulfillment are found in dear God. No matter how much the world offers various satisfactions, true satisfaction and security lie in Him. I believe this rhythmic song, which is catchy from the first listen, will find its way to people and be a blessing to them," the singer conveyed.
The accompanying music video, directed, shot, and edited by Saul Tikvić, features members of Kalić's band, Noela. Filmed in recognizable locations across Slavonia, including churches and a hunting lodge, the video enhances the song's spiritual and visual atmosphere. This single also signifies a new phase in Kalić's career, in collaboration with the record label Laudato Music, and serves as an announcement for his forthcoming album, which will include both familiar and new compositions.
