Skała is a studio album by Polish singer Kayah, released in 2009 by Kayax.

Background[edit]

Skała was Kayah's first studio album in six years and her first released by her own record label, Kayax (distributed by EMI Music Poland). The title ("rock" in Polish) is a nod to the singer's 1995 breakthrough album, Kamień ("stone"). Musically, Skała continues Kamień's soul and jazz-inspired sound. To promote the album, Kayah embarked on an acoustic concert tour and released two singles: "Jak skała" and "Ocean Spokojny już".

Skała debuted at number 1 in the Polish albums chart and was certified platinum the following month.[3] By March 2011, the album had sold in nearly 40,000 copies.[4] Skała was nominated to the Fryderyk award for the Pop Album of the Year and Best Artwork[5] as well as for the Best Pop Album in the Superjedynki contest.[6]
