She started her career in 1995 singing a song by Varius Manx, a multi-platinum Polish band, in the TV song contest "Szansa na sukces" (A Chance for Success).
In 1999 she recorded her first solo album, "Kasia Stankiewicz", with soul and jazz compositions. In 2001 Kasia Stankiewicz recorded "The Bridge Song" with the German electronic music group Tangerine Dream. The single promoted their new album around the world.
In 2003 she produced and published a new album called "Extrapop". The first single "Schyłek lata" (The End of Summer) was a smash hit in Poland, and two other singles "Francuzeczka" (The French Girl) and "Saint Etienne" were successful too. Kasia has definitely left behind a "good girl" image.
In 2006 Stankiewicz released a new album called "Mimikra" (Mimicry). She released two singles from the album so far: "4 ręce" (4 Hands) and "Marzec" (March). On the album we can find a song called "Dla Frycka" which Stankiewicz wrote for her first-born son. The third single from the album is "W środku myśli" (In the Center of Thoughts). It's one of the ten chosen song to take part in the preliminary to The Sopot Music Festival.

Kasia Stankiewicz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ten sam stół co wczoraj, a mniej ładny
A na skórze pokrzyw coraz więcej
Pewnie znów nikt za mną nie wytrzyma
Znów będę się
Wtulać przez sen
W koc, który też
Rano zjem kanapkę z pomidorem
Może zacznę się przyzwyczajać
Znów powącham twoje ubrania
Położę się z nimi i zamknę oczy
Będę się znów
Wtulać prze sen
W koc, który też
Twój zapach ma
Nie bawi się
Już ze mną kot
Też wtula się
W niebieski koc
The lyrics of Kasia Stankiewicz's song "Lola" depict the feeling of missing a loved one who has left. The singer of the song is left behind in a less-than-ideal situation, as she sits at a table that is less pretty than the one from the day before. The song's melancholic tone suggests that this is a new day that has begun without her partner. The singer is covered in rashes and scratches, possibly as a result of being alone for too long, and she is convinced that no one will be able to tolerate her for much longer.
The chorus of the song suggests that the singer will continue to hug herself in bed, covered in a blanket that has the scent of her absent partner. She is unwilling to abandon this routine, even though it reminds her of her current loneliness. She longs to be with her partner, even though his/her physical presence is absent. In the next lines of the song, the singer details simple tasks that she will engage in to fill her day, such as having a sandwich with tomatoes and smelling her lover's clothes. The song concludes with the singer describing how even her cat is curling up in a blanket that is the same shade of blue as the one she is using. This last line reinforces the idea that she is alone, apart from her cat, and is seeking solace in objects that remind her of her lost relationship.

Zamknął drzwi, a ja już za nim tęsknię
He closed the door and I already miss him
Ten sam stół co wczoraj, a mniej ładny
The same table as yesterday, but less beautiful
A na skórze pokrzyw coraz więcej
More and more nettle on my skin
Pewnie znów nikt za mną nie wytrzyma
Probably nobody will endure me again
Znów będę się Wtulać przez sen
I will snuggle up again in my sleep
W koc, który też Twój zapach ma
In a blanket that also smells like you
Rano zjem kanapkę z pomidorem
In the morning, I will eat a tomato sandwich
Może zacznę się przyzwyczajać
Maybe I will start to get used to it
Znów powącham twoje ubrania
I will smell your clothes again
Położę się z nimi i zamknę oczy
I will lay down with them and close my eyes
Nie bawi się Już ze mną kot
The cat is not playing with me anymore
Też wtula się W niebieski koc
He is snuggling in the blue blanket too

Polski pop to od wielu lat dramat przerywany drobnymi oświeceniami czyli płytami, które chociaż trochę zapadają w pamięć. Ten album nie zalicza się do takich oświeceń, jest czymś więcej. Mam nadzieję, że Extrapop zostanie kiedyś odkryty na nowo, bo zdecydowanie nie dostał wystarczająco uwagi jak na TAKIE dzieło. Kompletnie nie wyobrażam sobie, żeby ludzie za sto lat mówili, że Kasia Stankiewicz była autorką "Orła cień". Kasia Stankiewicz była autorką "Extrapopu".
