Ana Popović's father first introduced her to the blues, through an extensive record collection and sessions hosted at the family home. Popović founded her first serious band at age nineteen. Within a year, she was playing outside of Yugoslavia and opening shows for American blues icons like Junior Wells. Her band Hush released their debut album, Hometown in 1998. The next year, Popović relocated to the Netherlands to study jazz guitar. She quickly became a fixture on the Dutch blues scene and soon ventured into neighboring Germany.

Change My Mind
Ana Popovic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm thinking 'bout givin' us up, boy
And if it matters to you show me a sign
I'm thinking 'bout leavin', change my mind.
I'm tired oftalkin' honey, i need more
I'm thinking 'bout walkin' out that door
The way we treat each other is just a crime
Give me a reason to believe
There's a chance for you and me
And I won't go
If you think we're still worth saving let me know ...
I don't think you need me, honey, change my mind
You make me feel like I ain't worth a dime
Any objections now's the time
I'm thinking 'bout disappearing, change my mind.
If you're willing baby, I am, too
We could start all over, me and you
Hard as it is, baby, I'm drawing a line
I'm thinking 'about leaving, change my mind.
The lyrics of Ana Popovic's song "Change My Mind" depict a woman who is contemplating leaving her significant other.

I have never been aware of a woman who had the complete blues performance ability, Her soulful passion stands out no matter what song she performs. The only other artists that come to mind with chops that parallels hers is Susan Tedschi, or Bonnie Raitt.
Tony Collins
She's got the Blues and then some. Awesome performer, obviously beautiful, and a grounded personality. Keepin it raw and real!!
Allen Atchley
Got the blues voice of a Janis Joplin and that "feel" of Blumfield on that six string. She's very talented.
Barbara Stuckey
This woman is the total package..good looks, amazing voice, esp for blues, and as good or better than most men on guitar...I am now a fan for life....
Bobby Pickett
