Agnieszka Chylińska is a prominent figure in the Polish music industry, having spent nearly thirty years in the business. She has undergone many changes in her image and artistic style throughout her career, constantly experimenting with new looks, from a youthful and casual appearance to a more rock-and-roll persona. Her unique voice, captivating storytelling and bold personality have made her an icon among her Polish audience. Despite her diverse interests, music remains her primary passion, and she has released multi-platinum albums over the years. Besides, Chylińska has written children’s books and served as a judge on the Polish version of Got Talent.

Chylińska rose to fame as the lead singer of the band O.N.A. in 1994, whose music blended pop-rock, hard rock, and heavy metal. Thanks to O.N.A., Chylińska’s career took off, and her albums became wildly popular, establishing her as a key figure in the Polish rock scene. After disbanding in 2003, Chylińska formed a new band in her name, performing alternative and hard rock, but the group disbanded two years later. In 2009, she returned triumphantly with her debut pop-dance solo album, Modern Rocking, followed by the electronic and rock album Forever Child in 2016 and the synth-pop and house Pink Punk in 2019, incorporating more electronic and punk rock elements. Chylińska’s latest album, Never Ending Sorry, is a unique blend of blues and rock. Some of the songs also have hints of country music. Throughout her music career, Agnieszka Chylińska has always been honest and bold in her lyrics, reflecting her personal experiences and emotions.

During the concert, Chylińska not only showcased her new album, Never Ending Story, featuring hits like ‘Drań’ and ‘Kiedy do Ciebie wrócę’, but also paid homage to her old songs. Her devoted fans, who have supported her throughout her career, found the event even more special. Her setlist included beloved songs such as ‘Królowa łez’, ‘Kiedy powiem sobie dość’, and ‘Drzwi’, all presented in fresh, blues-inspired arrangements that perfectly complemented the sound of her new album. Despite the change in style, even hardcore heavy rock fans embraced the latest versions. Chylińska’s willingness to explore new possibilities with her past music sets a great example for fellow musicians.

Chylińska was accompanied on stage by great musicians with whom she created the last album. Maciej Mąka charmed with guitars of all kinds, and Oskar Podolski drummed like an enchanted wizard, still finding the time to roll chopsticks in the air. Błażej Chochorowski held the crazy company together with his bass, and Rafał Stępień joyfully keyed over the whole thing, especially in the songs ‘Głupi jak but’ and ‘Zranione Dziecko’.

Chylińska’s stage presence was powerful, and her energy and passion for music were infectious. Her raw and emotive vocals perfectly conveyed the songs’ themes, and she seemed to connect with the audience on a deep level. While performing at Troxy in London, Chylińska shared touching stories and personal revelations from her latest album.

The return to the UK with her latest album, Never Ending Story, was a success. The new blues-rock sound of the album breathed new life into her music, and the new arrangements of her classic hits were a testament to her creativity and musicianship. The concert at Troxy in London showcased her versatility as an artist and her ability to reinvent herself while staying true to her roots constantly. It was a night to remember for both Chylińska and her fans and a testament to the power of music to bring people together.
