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.

Brodka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can feel your breath on my neck
Hey, not quite ...
Come with me and I will make your day
So you would find
The magic flight
Hey, what's in your mind
You will never stop to wonder why
Hey, I will come
Take your hand
Together we're one
So, you and I
Go through the nigh
Bring your love and save
Nothing is wrong
I'll carry on it forever
Bring your nasty ring
Keep me with you
Hold me
I will stay forever
Hey, sing with me
How sweat it would be
Oh, Mother Night
Feel the Day
Ocean never ...
... you and I
Bring your love and save
Nothing is wrong
I'll carry on it forever
Bring your nasty ring
Keep me with you
Hold me
I will stay forever
The song "Santa Muerte" by Brodka carries the theme of death and rebirth. As the song progresses, it seems to describe a meeting between the singer and Death, who is represented by the Mexican folk figure, 'Santa Muerte'. Death is personified as a "little prick" who whispers in the singer's ear. The singer, intrigued by Death's invitation to explore the unknown, agrees to join her. The lyrics suggest that through this journey of death and rebirth, the singer will be able to find the "magic flight" and become one with Death.
The song continues with the singer expressing their desire to bring their love and save, as nothing is wrong. This could refer to their desire to save themselves from the pain of living, or perhaps saving those around them from the same pain. The singer also asks to be held, suggesting their desire for comfort and companionship in their journey. The song ends with a call to sing with Death and feel the sweetness of it all.
Overall, the song is a meditation on death and rebirth. It touches on themes of desire, comfort, and companionship, as the singer explores the unknown through the guidance of Santa Muerte.

Brodka's artful vision is pushing back boundaries.
Already a star in her native Poland, the singer arrived at the Great Escape with a show that had been rigorously prepared.
One of the weekend's true stars, her performances caused a huge buzz to descend on new English-language album 'Clashes'.
Videos such as 'Santa Muerte' probably explain why. Delicately, artfully shot, it's features a Japanese Butoh dancer, hand-picked by Brodka to expand on the song's themes.
Brodka explains: “When I first watched the documentary 'Dance Of Darkness' it completely blew my mind. I've never seen anything like that before. It was very theatrical, expressive but actually Butoh dancing is something unclassifiable and totally unique. For me Butoh is a dance of life and death, light and darkness. I automatically connected it with the story from Santa Muerte. The video is about a journey which is a metaphor of life. The journey ends by the river which is the border of life. That's where we meet death but actually who's death is it in the video? In the magical ritual they're crossing the border to the afterlife and becoming light. Shooting this video was a magical experience for me and all the crew.”

Hey little death
I can feel your breath
Upon my neck
Hey not quite yet
Come with me and
I will make you tame
So you will find
A magic light
Hey once you're mine
You will never stop
To wonder why
Hey I will come
Take your hand
Together we are one
So you and I
Will rule the night
Bring your love and say
Nothing is wrong
I’ll carry your bones wherever
Bring your dusty wreck
Keep me with you
Hold me and stay forever
Hey sing with me
Father day how sweet
Your love can be
Oh mother night
I fear the day
I wish it never may come
Soon what was said
Will be undone
Bring your love and say
Nothing is wrong
I’ll carry your bones wherever
Bring your dusty wreck
Keep me with you
Hold me and stay forever

Główny bohater to pewnie leśnik, któremu został rok do emerytury. Podoba mi się finał, ponieważ jestem leśnikiem i wiem, że czeka mnie na koniec życia piękna nagroda ;)

"Santa Muerte," premiering here on CH, Brodka transports us to a mystical desert. Inspired by a trip she took to Mexico, "Santa Muerte" is named after the skeleton folk saint of death. "I was really surprised by how people treat death there," she tells CH. "Young kids from a very early age are taught not to see it as something depressing, but something that tells you about the next life, and not really in a sad way. The song is like a conversation with death but treating it as a conversation with a friend. We have this relationship with death all of our lives."
