Line 28:
After finishing their tour, the band starts working on therir follow-up album. Again, the place and the recording studio are the same as with the latest, and November, 1983 marks the release of the album ''[[Čarobnjaci]]'' ("Wizards"). Lipovača was in charge with production, music and some writing, while Islamović wrote majority of songs. The album didn't achieve the same popularity as ''Motori'', but was received well enough, with title track and song "Metalni radnici" singled out. Durring the album's supporting tour Islamović receives invitation from [[Goran Bregović]] to join [[Bijelo Dugme]] as the replacement for their current vocalist [[Željko Bebek]]. Unsure of this proposal, and the fact that Bebek was still a member of the band, Islamović turns down this offer. Another reason is that shortley before that, Divlje Jagode were approached by "Trans Atlantic Records" in [[London]] for a potential contract, which if proven successfull would mean the band's possibile breakthrough on Eurpoean and even world market. Tensions between the band, especially with Islamović and Lipovača began to rise around this time, though they were temporarily withdrawn by Islamović's desicion to stay.
 
By the end of the year Divlje Jagode got another musician within their ranks. It was bass guitarist Zlatan ĆehicĆehić "Ćeha". This would mean that Islamović will concentrate only on vocals, and with this lineup, the band start work on their next studio album. Recording and mixing were done in studios "RTV Sarajevo" in [[Sarajevo]], and "Music Park Studios" in [[Bad Homburg vor der Höhe]], as was the case with their previous releases. In March 1985, again through Diskoton, studio album entitled ''Vatra'' ("Fire"), was released. Music and compositionig was done by Lipovača, while Islamović and Slobodan Đurasović did the writing. The album was produced by Theo Werdin, who also wrote the song "Touch Me Little Girl", the only song the record wrote and performed in english language. Although with a bit less commercial success than prevous recordings, the album was well received, with several hit songs like "Ciganka", "Let na drugi svijet", "Divljakuša, and "Moja si".
 
Soon after they finished their tour, the band signed a contract with [[Great Britain|British]] record company [[Logo Records]], located in [[London]]. This would mean recording and toruing in Enngland, with much awaited opportunity for international success. This was a feat not yet accomplsihed by any other band from this region. Divlje Jagode, from that point on, would perform by their name, translated in english language: ''Wild Strawberries''.
