The debut album ‘Katarina’ contains the innocence of a 
newborn who is screaming into the yet unknown world, but 
also the well-versed melancholia of a person at the verge 
of writing a suicide letter. This conceptual contrast is 
escorted by a clear stylistic resemblance to Milošević’ 
turbo-folk era on one side and American R&B goddesses of 
Bush era on the other. Both, a strong Slavic 
introspection with a taste of the working-class fatalism, 
and the progressive gender non-conforming pop sound of 
the West add to a stylistic richness of the album. 
Kукла's voice is warm and playful throughout the album, 
and remains bright when she is singing about the grim and 
often hopeless moments of her life, which shows how her 
music and art have often saved her from the dark side of 
herself. In the song Zvezdana she lifts the curtain, 
segregates life from death but leaves the innocence of 
her youth intact. Palma feels like a tender admission of 
her idealist aspiration of romance, whereas Astronaut 
exposes the inadequacy of her ex-lovers. The album 
characterizes Kукла’s imprisonment and her strong will to 
breach the walls that confine her artistic potential. 
It makes the listener feel like Kукла is playing in the 
closet - choosing dresses, picking identities, only to 
face the world even more naked and raw than she ever was 
before.
