History

Early career

After winning the 2004 edition of Polish Pop idol, Monika Brodka released her first studio record titled Album, which was certified gold after a months.[3] In November 2006, she released her second album, Moje piosenki (My Songs), which also turned gold.[3]

Granda

After a four-year hiatus, Brodka's third studio album Granda was released in September 2010. The album showed a big change of musical direction, and was described in The Guardian as "drawing on electro, rock and roots music, but remaining resolutely pop in its approach and execution, the record has a vitality and adventurousness that puts most of Poland's alt-rock acts to shame".[2] Granda was certified double platinum in Poland in November 2011.[4]

LAX EP

In May 2012, Brodka released an extended play LAX, which was recorded at Red Bull Studios in Los Angeles together with music producer and engineer Bartosz Dziedzic.[5][6] The EP contains two new songs in English, "Varsovie" and "Dancing Shoes", as well as some remixes. Brodka won the 2013 Fryderyk award for Song of the Year ("Varsovie"), and received two nominations in categories Album of the Year (LAX) and Artist of the Year.[7]

Brut

On March 3, 2021, Brodka released the music video for her single ''Game Change''. Brodka's fifth studio album Brut was released on May 28, 2021. In the 2021 edition of the Berlin Music Video Awards, Brodka was nominated for Best Art Director with her music video ''Game Change''. The music video ''Horyzont'' by Piernikowski, in which Brodka features, was also selected for the official selection of the Berlin Music Video Awards for the Best Visual Effects category.[8]
