Default The Ewa Farna Thread

I remember precisely what i was doing when i 'discovered' Alizee (or she discovered me). It was on another forum and a French girl was using her pic as an avatar. A few emails later and the rest is history.

I didn't for one minute imagine that my heart and soul could be taken twice in a really short space of time. But it's happened.

I nearly always have a look at the 'Other Music and Videos' thread and have discovered some gems. Just a few days ago Criss_pl posted a video of Ewa Farna. I loved it. Really loved it. Some Youtubing later and well...you get the idea.

Ms. Farna is just 16 years old and is from a Polish speaking region of the Czech Republic. She has released 3 albums (2 studio and 1 live) and for the last few days i have begged, borrowed or stolen all of them. And if you think getting ahold of French CD's is difficult, just wait until you try the Czech Republic

You really owe it to yourself to give her a chance. I don't think that you will be disapointed. She's not unlike Alizee in some ways but her sound and look is a bit more Avril Lavinge/Kelly Clarkson (only much much better).

Things have gotten so bad that today i've booked a trip to Prague in December to see her live.

Here's a few video's to wet your appetites.
Look and learn. You'll be impressed. Trust me!

Ok to add quickly something from me that could interest you (tomorrow more infos):
3 albums, but 2 studios CDs are in 2 language versions: Czech and Polish. And new album is going off in October, single was already relased and she wrote the lyrics.
She plays on grand piano/piano (but doesn't compose music yet)
Her songs are more pop-rock than (normal?) pop. And she loves to ski in winter. She also admits that she feels more like a Pole than a Czech.

Yeah, she has a great voice with a lot of power. The music she's doing seems to suit her very well. All in all, a very winning combination.

Similar style and voice of Amy of Evanescence. Alizee would look good in leathers.

Cuteness is reserved for Lily, but Ewa is still very pretty. And she is different than Lily in some things (that we could complain about) She still attends school, plays on instrument, writes lyrics, makes many concerts, and has a perfect contact with fans and media (today I read an interview with her in newspaper), she is simply loved here And subjects in her songs are various, some are very joyful, energetic songs of happy teenager about joy of life and optimistic future, other rather calm about lost relationships or broken love (not so simple), and some are more rock.

An here this new single: Toužím (it translates to sth. like I desire/I wish)

I defer to Criss_pl's knowledge more than mine here. He knows a helluva lot more about her than i do.
It's something i'm finding really frustrating . There is very very little info out here in English.
Other things that impress me are her self confidence for someone who is only 16 years old. Her stage presence is also pretty commendable considering her age.
As for the cute thing. Watch this.......now this is Cute with a capital C

Some exiciting news on this topic.
As of 12 noon on Thursday i became the very proud owner of www.ewafarna.co.uk
I wanted to try and get something out there in English for anybody who is interested and who dosen't speak either Cz or Polish.
It's a fairly daunting task as i have next to no idea of how to build or maintain a website. But i will learn (quickly i hope!).
There is nothing there at the moment but i hope to have at least something up and running within the next few days. Even if it's an 'under construction' notice. It won't be anything fancy until i figure out what i am doing (which may take a while).
What has been really encouraging is the support i have had from Ewa's management. They have given me their 100% blessing and the 'stupid question' emails have been flowing between us.
I would be really interested in what everybody thinks of the site? If you have a moment please nip across and tell me what you think? And yes, i know site will be pretty s*it for a while (so i won't be offended).

P.S. Before you ask www.alizee.co.uk has been gone for a long long time.
P.P.S. Criss_pl - If you want to be involved in this please contact me on the email address i gave you asap. I would be very happy to have you onboard.

A quick snippet of Ewa's forthcoming single which translates as something like 'You're the king' (Czech). It's dedicated to Michael Jackson (she's a big fan).
I'm not a fan of the late Mr. Jackson at all so the sentiment is lost on me but this is a beautiful song (IMHO) and one of the best on her new album.
My web site is now coming along nicely allthough i'm still having difficulty with the technical end of things and the least said about the language barrier the better.
Just got back from Prague were i watched this remarkable young lady live. Wow!! I'll have a full review of the concert soon over at the site.
Again, please feel free to visit and let me know what you think (good or bad). No suggestion for improvement will be ignored.
In the mean time enjoy the song.....you will!
