Souvenir (Sestre album)
Encyclopedia
Souvenir is the only album to date by the Slovenian
transvestite trio Sestre. Although there is a Discography section at the back of the album sleeve notes, this is only a joke and the group only have released this album as well as the "Samo Ljubezen" single.
One notable thing about this album is that although it only features ten songs, each one is different in terms of style and taste. Most of the tracks segue into each other. This album features the song "Samo Ljubezen" which the group performed at the Eurovision Song Contest 2002
.
Due to the nature of Sestre themselves there is a slight gay nature to the album, but there is no obvious gay link to the music.
Their song "Samo Ljubezen" was number 1 in the Slovenian charts for five weeks. The second track on the album "Latina Bambina" was played a few times on Slovenian radio and it was intended to be a follow up record to "Samo Ljubezen", however this was not pursued for some reason.
This album is mainly in the Slovenian language
but it does feature parts in other languages too.
The final track "Together Forever" has been mistaken on a few occasions as being the English version of "Samo Ljubezen", however it is not. The English version of "Samo Ljubezen" remains unreleased as the band and most of the people involved with the recording did not like the way it sounded in English.
The album includes lyrics printed in the sleeve notes, however they appear to have quite severe typing errors.
