Polšak Palatinuš: Paradise for the People – A New Version of Mile Kekin's Song

Mile Kekin has released a new song that reflects his perspective on Croatian society, blending sincerity with his usual self-irony.

Mile Kekin has recently unveiled his new hit "Hrvatska je raj na zemlji" ("Croatia is Paradise on Earth"), which was launched on February 9, 2026. The song is not a typical fan anthem but rather an ode to those it represents, without a hint of irony. This release comes amid his tour across the region, performing for small crowds while simultaneously writing music that resonates deeply with his audience. The lyrics celebrate the essence of what Mile Kekin perceives as the beauty of Croatia, despite the underlying sarcasm that sometimes characterizes his work. He acknowledges that while he has a successful career in music, his connection to the grassroots and the realities faced by ordinary Croatian citizens still influences his artistic expression. The song reflects a commitment to representing the people and the country, which he believes possesses its own form of paradise. Kekin’s approach can be seen as a blend of punk heritage and current societal engagement, as he navigates the complexities of his fame within the Croatian music scene. While enjoying the benefits of his status, he remains conscious of his roots and the contributions of the working class, epitomized by the financial backing he receives from Croatian taxpayers. This duality represents a conversation within contemporary Croatian culture about celebrity, responsibility, and social commentary in art.
