We had a sneaky listen to the songs from the upcoming release and we must say that this album produced by John Altman and Michael Luevano will delight you. Pola has a soft, slightly husky and fragile vocal that reminds me of Portishead's lead singer Beth Gibbons. The world class arrangements put together by the Oscar nominated/ BAFTA and Emmy winner John Altman bring you the organic sounds of tring quartet as well as hip hop grooves combined with jazz horn section. Simply a masterpiece. - Superstar Magazine Oct 2013

Bio
Pola Pospieszalska is a London-based singer/songwriter discovered by the legendary top selling UK producer Robin Millar, the man behind the success of SADE, Patricia Kaas, Ive Mendes and Everything But the Girl.
Pola's songs have been placed on compilation cds on labels like UNIVERSAL's 'Morning Hits' ( Brackenberry Lane) AGORA's 'Smooth Festival Compilation (Breathe).
Four of POLA's songs have also been featured on the National Geographic TV show 'When Patrick Met Kylie' which has been aired at Nat Geo Italy and Canada /Discovery TLC Asia, Australia, Norway, India and Latin America. All together, the show aired in 67 countries worldwide.
POLA performed in Poland, UK, Switzerland, Norway, Denmark, China and Sweden, she also was the guest star of the London Fashion Week opening, where she presented songs from her first album. In 2011 her music video 'You Disappear' won Eurovision OGAE music video contest, voted the best music video by the internet users.
In 2012 and 2013 she was a celebrity judge of the Heineken's BooshKabaash Festival in Shanghai / China.
In 2013 she performed next to Andy Summers of The Police in China .
Also in 2013 in October she performed at main Heineken stage during Shanghai Rolex Masters.
Robin says, “Pola approached me via my website two years ago with a dream and a bunch of very simple little demos. At first I was not sure there was anything to be done. Then three things happened. First, I heard something in the voice that made me know that if a lot of people heard that voice they would love it. You’re either born with that or you aren’t. Boy George has it, Sade has it, Tracey Thorn has it…and Pola has it. The second thing I heard was determination, ambition, single mindedness and self-belief. The third thing that happened is that I started ‘producing’ her music in my mind without being paid and without being asked to”. Early 2010 her first album 'My Favourite Town' produced by Robin Millar (SADE, Everything But the Girl, Patricia Kaas) and Ned Bigham ( Amy Winehouse, Leona Lewis) was released.
Pola's new album is being recorded in both Stockholm and Shanghai. Among those working on the second album is an Oscar nominee, Emmy and British Academy Award BAFTA winning composer/arranger John Altman, whose long list of credits includes co writing Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life and arranging for and playing with Van Morrison, Rod Stewart, Tina Turner, George Michael, Bjork, Barry White, Bob Marley and many more. John says:
“Pola’s music is like a breath of fresh air. The songs match the personality totally, and her unique style and sincerity shines through all she writes and performs. It's a pleasure to create music with her”.
