'''Karolina Gočeva''' ({{langx|mk|Каролина Гочева}}, {{IPA|mk| karɔˈlina ˈɡɔtʃɛva|pron|Mk-Karolina Gocheva.ogg}}; born 28 April 1980), sometimes credited as '''Karolina Gocheva''' or known only as '''Karolina''', is a Macedonian singer. She launched her music career in 1991 with a performance at a local children's show and continued participating in the following years, receiving recognition for her talent. In 1992, she released her first [[Children's music|children album]] titled ''Mamo, pušti me'' ({{langx|en|Mom, let me go}}). She signed a contract with the record label [[Avalon Production]] in 2000.

Gočeva's discography consists of a total of nine [[studio albums]], spanning [[pop music|pop]], [[Contemporary R&B|R&B]], [[rock music|rock]], [[Folk music|traditional folk and ethno]], [[jazz music|jazz]] and [[world music|world]] [[musical styles]]. Shortly after signing her contract with Avalon Production, Gočeva released her debut studio album ''[[Jas Imam Pesna]]'', which included the song "Nemir" featuring [[Toše Proeski]]. Her second, third, and fourth studio albums ''[[Zošto Sonot Ima Kraj]]'', ''[[Znaeš Kolku Vredam]]'' and ''[[Vo Zaborav]]'' were released in 2002, 2003, and 2005, respectively. While her initial five albums were more pop, R&B and rock-oriented, her later records ''[[Makedonsko Devojče (album)|Makedonsko Devojče]]'' ({{langx|en|Macedonian Girl}}) (2008), ''[[Makedonsko Devojče 2]]'' (2014) and ''[[Izvor (album)|Izvor]]'' ({{langx|en|Spring}}) (2018) incorporated elements of [[Music of North Macedonia|Macedonian traditional music]] and jazz. This switch in sound led to increased popularity, wide acclaim from the public, and sold-out concerts in North Macedonia, Serbia, and Bulgaria. Her ninth studio album, in collaboration with [[Duke Bojadziev]] and Ismail Lumanovski, ''[[Pesni za Ljubov i Kopnež]]'', was released on 24 December 2022.

==Artistry==
Gočeva's music is regarded primarily as [[pop music|pop]]. She has additionally ventured in many other musical styles of Macedonian ethno music, predominantly incorporating elements of [[čalgija]]. According to Dave Wilson, a music critic of the [[New Zealand School of Music]], she can be classified in the so-called "second wave of ethno music" along with other performers such as [[Ljubojna]] and {{ill|Chalgia Sound System|mk|Чалгија саунд систем}}.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Not Different Enough: Avoiding Representation as "Balkan" and the Constrained Appeal of Macedonian Ethno Music|publisher=[[New Zealand School of Music]], [[Victoria University of Wellington]]|journal=Arts|year=2020|volume=9|issue=2|page=45|doi=10.3390/arts9020045|doi-access=free |last1=Wilson |first1=Dave }}</ref> With her later projects, Gočeva has also managed to create her own distinctive sound where "all her technical capabilities are on display" and several genres amalgamate.<ref name="tijana" /> The music released by the singer in the period between 2008 and 2018 involved traditional arrangements mixed with [[jazz music|jazz]], [[funk music|funk]] and [[soul music|soul]].<ref name="bio" /> The modern lyrics of her songs often reflected the positive and negative love experiences of the female protagonist.<ref name="bio" />

During interviews, Gočeva has shared that some of her music influences include Madonna and contemporary artists such as [[Dua Lipa]], [[Cardi B]], [[Whitney Houston]], [[Cyndi Lauper]], [[Coldplay]] and [[Hurts (duo)|Hurts]].<ref name="tijana" /> Additionally, while she was young, her parents frequently took her to concerts held by Yugoslav pop stars in Bitola.<ref name="skalila" /> Since 2003, she is accompanied by an 8-member band.<ref name="tijana" /> During an interview, Gočeva revealed that she has always taken part of the creative process and takes part in compiling set lists, discussing the set-up of concerts and song arrangements.<ref name="skalila" />

==Legacy==
Upon her first entry in the Serbian pop market, Gočeva achieved high popularity at a very fast rate.<ref name="medunama" /> One of the "obstacles" she encountered at the beginning of the career was the opinions of others as she could easily fall under the musical influence or suggestions of her surroundings instead of staying genuine to her own musical style.<ref name="zilet" /> Through the years, she decided that in addition to venturing in pop music, she also likes to experiment with different musical styles, something she sees as essential in an artist.<ref name="zilet" />
