Brodka’s first album, mature for a teenager, amazed audiences with its sensitivity and fresh approach to pop music ‐ but also proved that Brodka has an incredible voice. Brodka’s second album, released two years later, also reached ‘Golden Record’ status. The singer’s latest LP, Granda, came after a break in music‐making and a conscious decision to change directions. Granda shows a more experienced, worldly and experimental side to Brodka. The music ‐ hard to define but showing folk, electronic and experimental traits, with a pop background ‐ was produced and co‐composed by Bartosz Dziedzic.
Granda has reached double platinum status, proving that this bold, new style Brodka has embraced was a smart move. Both Brodka and Dziedzic received acclaim for their work and were nominated for dozens of awards, including the SuperHiro Magazine Award (won), Gala’s Rose (won), Polityka Passport. Poland’s Phonographic Academy nominated Brodka for 10 Fryderyki awards (the most important awards in Polish music business), and the singer won 4 for Best Female Vocalist, Best Pop Album, Best Music Production, Best Music Video in 2011. In 2012 she was nominated for MTV European Music Awards. In 2013 she was angain nominated to Fryderyki awards in 3 cathegories: Best Album (LAX), Best Song ("Varsovie") and Best Artist of the year 2012.
Since the release of Granda, Brodka has been touring with her band all over Poland. They played over 60 concerts and are currently preparing to tour the LAX EP and the EP’s singles: Varsovie and Dancing Shoes. Besides music, Brodka’s other passions include photography and fashion, proven by the fact that, at age 24, she is already considered an icon by Poland’s fashion magazines. Brodka, hailing from the Silesian town of Zywiec, known for it’s folk‐music roots and determined inhabitants, is proving over and over again that she sets high goals and rises to the challenge of meeting them. Her latest venture into singing in English only serves to show that Brodka is constantly developing ‐ both personally and musically ‐ and her sales and concert attendance prove that she has staying‐power.
Haiti
Brodka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She would go over the rainbow
Nothing was too much for her
Bit by bit his cherry flavour
Drink his fear so he can't fear it
Eat his ear so he can't hear it
She would go too far to handle
No one ever tasted so swell
Bitter sweet his cherry flavour
Drink his fear so he can't fear it
Eat his ear so he can't hear it
Just another hungry girl
The lyrics of Brodka's song "Haiti" paint a dark picture of an obsessive relationship, where one person is willing to do anything for the pleasure of their partner's flesh. The singer sings about a woman who is so desperate for the taste of her lover's "cherry flavor" that she would go over the rainbow and go too far to handle. The lyrics here suggest a relationship that has gone beyond healthy boundaries, where the woman is willing to put herself in danger to satisfy her lover's desires.
The repeated refrain "Drink his fear so he can't fear it / Eat his ear so he can't hear it" reinforces the idea of obsession and control. The singer sings about taking away her partner's ability to feel or hear, as though the woman's own pleasure is more important than her partner's well-being. The line "Just another hungry girl" adds to the sense of desperation and lack of agency in the relationship, as though the woman is just another victim of her lover's seductive power.
Overall, the lyrics of "Haiti" paint a picture of a relationship that is characterized by unhealthy obsession and control, where one partner's desires are prioritized over the other's well-being.

Proszę przeprosić za Pana Zenona Martyniuka. Za kogo Pani się uważa?
Ten cały Pani styl to kalka artystek ze skandynawi i kapel w których grały.
Karin Elisabeth Dreijer, Björk, Jonna Lee, Lykke Li, Nanna Øland Fabricius, czyli Fever Ray,
Röyksopp, iamamiwhoami, The Knife, Zeigeist, Oh Land i można by wymieniać dalej.
Inne zgapiaczki to Katie Stelmanis (Austra) i Janine Rostron(
Planningtorock).
Podsumowując nie ma Pani własnego stylu więc żadna z Pani artystka.
