Daljine () is the debut solo studio album by Serbian singer-songwriter Bojana Vunturišević. Released on April 21, 2017, under Mascom Records, it was announced with the release of its lead single "Kese, etikete" on March 10, 2017. Daljine represents her first body of work since Vunturišević parted her ways with the band Svi na pod! and pursued a solo career. The production on Daljine was handled by Vunturišević's past band member, Ivan Mirković Bambi.
Daljine received positive reviews from music critics. On 29 April, the album was promoted with a live show at the Bitef theater in Belgrade.
Critical reception
In a four out of five star review, Siniša Miklaužić from Muzika.hr wrote that Vunturišević stayed true to her electropop roots with Svi na pod!, which can be best seen on the track "Bes". However, according to him, Daljine was more lyrics-focused than her previous work with the band. Miklaužić was particularly favorable of the track "Kese, etikete", compering the "contemporary electropop" sound to the music of New Zealand singer Lorde. Moreover, the critic highlighted the social commentary in the songs "Kese, etikete" and "E70". Ultimately, Miklaužić stated: "At her debut, Bojana showed that she understands extremely well who her audience is and how she should present herself to them".
Balkanrock enlisted Daljine among the top 30 best regional releases from 2017, while Muzika.hr placed the album at number two on their review of 2017.
