Her career began with the band Holloee Poloy an underground band with which she parted ways to pursue a solo career. She went to London and recorded her first solo album, sung entirely in English. The record, titled "Love", gained the singer some well-deserved acclaim from radio stations, but wasn't exactly a hit. Edyta decided to sing in Polish and that's what brought her an incredible succeess, making her one of the driving forces behind the emancipation of Polish female rock singers of early 90's (the other two being Kasia Nosowska from Hey and Kasia Kowalska). She recorded "Sen" (a Dream) which brought her some of the biggest hits of her career - Sen and Tatuaż. Over the following years, she developed both lyrically and artistically, achieving even greater commercial success. After the records "Szok n' Show", "Dziecko" (a Child), "Wodospady" (Waterfalls), "Dziś są moje urodziny" (today is my birthday - a greatest hits collection) and numerous collaborations with other polish acts, she vanished into obscurity, with an occasional songs ever so often. She's been on a break ever since 1999, and every single song she has recorded since was supposed to be a single for an upcoming record. All of those supposed singles were instant success, but the fans are still waiting for her new LP. She has a son Aleksander, from her marriage to one of the best Polish sound engineers Leszek Kamiński, whom she divorced.

Her biggest hits are: Sen, Ostatni, Jenny, Tatuaż, Skłamałam, Miłość Jak Ogień, Opowieść, Niewinność, Zegar, Szał, Cztery Pokoje featuring Kazik, Trudno Tak featuring Krzysztof Krawczyk. Have To Carry On, Blues For You, Goodbye To The Roman Candles.

Nie wiadomo skąd
Nie wiadomo jak
Wielce przykrą woń
Przygnało pod mój dach

Rusz Małgosiu, rusz głową!
A odpowiedź wnet masz gotową
Rusz Małgosiu, rusz głową!

A odpowiedź wnet gotową masz

Ktoś stoi u mych drzwi
Nie daje nocą spać
To pewnie straszny wilk
Podstępem chce się wkraść

Rusz Małgosiu, rusz głową!
A odpowiedź wnet masz gotową
Rusz Małgosiu, rusz głową!
A odpowiedź wnet gotową masz

Tak często bywa, gdy
W bajki wierzyć chcesz
Rozsiewa zioła maj
A wilk był z FBI

Rusz Małgosiu, rusz głową!
A odpowiedź wnet masz gotową
Rusz Małgosiu, rusz głową!

Overall Meaning

The song "Małgosia i Pogromcy Mitów" by Edyta Bartosiewicz is a playful and whimsical take on the traditional fairy tale format. The lyrics describe a mysterious and unpleasant smell that has entered the singer's home, and they urge Małgosia (a reference to the fairy tale character Gretel) to use her head to figure out what is causing it. When someone comes knocking at the door, the singer assumes it's a dangerous wolf trying to sneak in, but it turns out to be just a harmless neighbor. The song ends with a humorous twist: Małgosia's solution to the bad smell is to blame it on the flowers outside and suggest that the wolf must be an FBI agent.

The lyrics of "Małgosia i Pogromcy Mitów" are filled with references to traditional fairy tales and popular culture. The character of Małgosia is likely a nod to the fairy tale "Hansel and Gretel", while the idea of a wolf trying to sneak into the singer's house is a common motif in fairy tales. The line "Rozsiewa zioła maj" (spreading May flowers) is a reference to a Polish folk song, while the revelation that the wolf is actually an FBI agent is a humorous nod to conspiracy theories and modern popular culture.
