Makedonsko Devojče (Macedonian: Македонско девојче, Macedonian Girl) is the fifth studio album by Macedonian singer Karolina Gočeva released in Macedonia on 26 June 2008 through Avalon Production. The record label City Records released the album in ex-Yugoslavian countries in December of the same year. The composer of all the songs and lyrics is Zlatko Origjanski, a member of Macedonian band Anastasia. Two singles were released from the album – "Ptico malečka" and "Za kogo?". Makedonsko Devojče was the best-selling album in the year of its release in Macedonia. The album's popularity and success prompted Gočeva to release a sequel, titled Makedonsko Devojče 2 (2014).

Background
Following the release of her album Vo Zaborav (2004) and its corresponding Serbo-Croatian rework (2005), Gočeva decided to depart from her predominantly pop musical style and try recording songs inspired by Macedonian traditional music. According to the singer, Makedonsko Devojče initially served only as an experimental work, with her checking if she is capable to do justice to the endeavor.[1] Macedonian musician and member of the band Anastasia was contacted to work on Makedonsko Devojče. During an interview, Gočeva expressed her feeling that the album is "typically feminine" due to the presence of sad lyrics with which "every woman who has been disappointed in her life" can identify herself.[2]
The album consists of ten songs from which nine are original compositions entirely written by Origjanski and one, namely "Jas sum nesrekjnica" is a rearranged cover version of a traditional Macedonian song. The album was entirely recorded by Valentino Skenderovski at his Enterprise Studios in Skopje between January and May 2008.[3][4] "Ptico malečka" was released as its first single in Macedonia.[5]
Reception and sequel
In 2008, the album won in the category for Best Ethno Album at the Sunčane skale festival, an awards show for Balkan music[6] In 2008, the album emerged as the best-selling album of that year in Macedonia.[4] According to an interview with Gočeva in 2014, it took several years for the public to start "accepting" the album, but she observed that its impact lasted long after its release. In retrospect, she felt that her approach to Makedonsko Devojče was slightly less confident due to her being at a younger age and having less experience. The singer explained that although the songs were inspired by Macedonian traditional folk music, her interpretation of them was not a folk one, but rather a more authentic and personal rendering.[7]
Due to the success achieved with Makedonsko Devojče and the public's demand to continue performing similar songs, the singer was motivated to record a continuation in 2014.[1] The sequel album is called Makedonsko Devojče 2 and was released on 25 February 2014 in Macedonia.[note 1] The second album achieved similar success, being acclaimed by Macedonian music critics and becoming the best-selling album in the country in the year of its release.[8] It was promoted through numerous concerts in Macedonia and Serbia in 2014 and 2015, during which songs from Makedonsko Devojče were also performed.[9] In 2015, when asked about her future projects and whether she would return to recording pop music as she did before the release of music inspired by Macedonian folklore as in Makedonsko Devojče 1 and Makedonsko Devojče 2 or she would continue in the same direction as those two albums, Gočeva said that "there is no reason why I would not make one more project like that".[1]
