Background

edit

Although Kamień was Kayah's second studio album, the singer considers it her 'proper' debut album, excluding the 1988 self-titled LP from her official discography. Kayah wrote and co-produced all material on Kamień which musically is a blend of pop, soul and jazz. The album was supported by four singles: "Jak liść" and "Nawet deszcz" in 1995, followed by "Fleciki" and "Santana" in 1996.

Kamień was an unexpected commercial success, earning gold certification in Poland.[3] It was also well received by music critics and earned a nomination to the Fryderyk award as the Pop Album of the Year.[4]
