“Drzewo” (2012) – Renata Przemyk * Written by Renata Przemyk and Anna Saraniecka * CD: Akustik Trio * Label: Impres-Art
Since the early ’90s, when she started releasing her first solo albums, the Polish singer songwriter (in a post-punk vein) Renata Przemyk has had a way of keeping audiences in her pocket. “Elastic” is a suitable way to describe her voice and lyrics, which can bend and stretch in terms of expression and meaning. Her 2012 Akustik Trio brings the unplugged approach to previous hits and the sound suits her well. On “Drzewo” (tree), a song from 2001, she uses Adam and Eve images to explore how personal choice, in itself, can seem to complicate the very boundaries between good and evil.
