Slađana Milošević

Aleksandra Milošević Hagadone (Serbian Cyrillic: Александра Милошевић Хагадон; 3 October 1955 – 26 March 2024), better known as Slađana Milošević (Serbian Cyrillic: Слађана Милошевић, pronounced [slǎdʑana milǒːʃeʋitɕ]), was a Serbian and Yugoslav singer, songwriter, record producer, and author. Often referred to by the nickname "Rock Princess", Milošević was one of the most prominent female artists of the Yugoslav rock scene.

Milošević began learning classical music at the age of five, playing piano and later switching to violin. As a teenager, she played bass guitar in several bands, including one of the last lineups of the popular band Džentlmeni. After performing and recording with the Radio Television Belgrade Orchestra and Saša Subota's Orchestra during early and mid-1970s and performing with the disco group Zdravo, Milošević started her solo career in 1977 with the single "Au-au". Her following singles and her erotic image brought her large media attention. She released her debut album Gorim od želje da ubijem noć in 1980, joining in on the Yugoslav new wave scene and gaining nationwide popularity. In 1983, she formed the band Neutral Design with a group of West German musicians, recording the album Neutral Design to good reception in Yugoslavia and other European countries. During early and mid-1980s she was one of the most popular female vocalists and one of the biggest sex symbols of the Yugoslav rock scene. At the end of the decade, she turned towards jazz and experimental music, moving to the United States in 1989. She returned to Serbia in 1995, releasing her comeback metal-oriented album Animal Tested in 2000. In the late 2000s, she began performing only occasionally, dedicating herself to work in other fields of culture.
