Hello dear friends,
As the autumn leaves paint the town with shades of amber, they bring with them a sweet reminder of a significant milestone.
It’s hard to believe, but it’s been a whole decade since the release of my debut album, 'Głową w Dół'.
Time has flown by, yet the essence of the music within this album remains as comforting and genuine as ever.
I must admit, there’s a part of me that finds it astonishing it's been so long, especially with the handful of albums to my name.
My heart guided me on a different path—a path of patience, authenticity, and heartfelt creation.
It’s always been about quality over quantity, about crafting music that resonates with the soul rather than rushing to meet some imaginary deadline.
And let’s be real, if rushing was a sport, I’d still be tying my shoelaces at the starting line!😂
Seriously though, the journey has been long, filled with both beautiful highs and challenging lows.
After the release of 'Głową w dół', I found myself at a crossroads.
The traditional music path, with its pressures, had me feeling like I was losing my way.
It got so overwhelming that I stepped away from music for a while.
I shared more about that part of my journey in the "Why I don't tour...at the moment" blog post a while back.
It was a dark period, but a necessary one.
It led to a realization that I couldn't silence the music in me, no matter the hurdles.
So, with a mix of apprehension and hope, I chose the independent route.
It hasn’t been a breeze, but it’s been real.
And fulfilling.
Here we are now, with the music still playing, still touching hearts. 🤗
Your unwavering support has been a beacon, illuminating this path of authentic musical expression.
It’s taken time, but every note, every lyric feels like it was worth the wait.
And I wouldn't have it any other way.
And while the pace might seem slow, rest assured that each piece emerging from this journey is deeply heartfelt, genuine, and real.
There are no filler songs—every track is a reflection of my profound connection with the music, a connection I hope to share with each of you.
Each song, each album is a labor of love, a piece of my soul shared with the world.
I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to share my music with you, and even more so knowing that there are people like you out there who cherish my creations, that connect with what I do and that are waiting for new things to come.😃
Without YOU, none of this would be possible.
In a way, 'Głową w Dół' has aged like fine wine 🍷, only getting better with time and every listen it receives. 😜
This edition isn’t just a reprint; it’s a heartfelt thank you wrapped in melodies and memories.
It now includes all English credits and a newly penned 'thank you' section dedicated to you, my incredible fans.
It’s a small token of appreciation for your support, for being there during the ups and downs, and for making this journey so profoundly beautiful.❤️
This reissue is a reflection of the personal connection that has grown between us and the bond that has flourished beyond the digital screens.
Selling out the first edition was a moment of immense gratitude, an affirmation that the essence of music transcends the rush of the world.
Every message, every share, and every word of encouragement has fueled my heart and this journey, making every note worth the wait.
Thank you for that.
I’m brimming with excitement for the next decade of musical adventures.
While I've been a believer in 'slow and steady', the race towards new tunes is nearing its sweet finish line.😃
The beauty of my tunes, much like the grace of a sunset, can't seem to be hurried along.😅
Yet, the horizon looks promising with new melodies on the way. 😉🎵✨
So here’s to you, to us, and to many more years of heartfelt music.
I can’t wait to share this special edition of 'Głową w Dół' with you, as a symbol of gratitude, love, and the beautiful journey we are on together.
With all my love,
-Ania
