JakaJaKayah is the fourth studio album by Polish singer Kayah, released in 2000 by Zic Zac and BMG Poland.
The album was almost entirely written by Kayah (excluding two poems by Polish poets Maria Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska and Jan Twardowski used in tracks "Topielice" and "Kiedy mówisz", respectively). Musically, it incorporates elements of pop, soul, world and electronic music. The album's lead single "JakaJaKayah" met with considerable success, reaching the top 10 of the airplay chart in Poland. [6] "Anioł wiedział" and "Topielice" followed as singles later in 2000, but did not achieve commercial success. In 2001, a special edition of the album was released, including the new single "Embarcação" recorded in Portuguese with Cape Verdean singer Cesária Évora. The album was then released internationally as YakaYaKayah with some of the songs recorded in English.
JakaJaKayah received favourable reviews and got a nomination to the Fryderyk award for Best Pop Album. [7] Official Polish album sales chart OLiS did not exist at the time, but the album reached number 4 in the reliable monthly sales chart published by Gazeta Muzyczna. The album was certified platinum in Poland in 2003 for selling over 100,000 copies.
