for many years he refused to record a duet with a woman. However, when the proposal to create a song with , it did not take long to convince him. The result of their joint work in the studio is one of the most popular ballads in the singer’s discography, the song “Trudno tak”. We present the backstage of one of the greatest Polish hits of all time.
It was for her that Krzysztof Krawczyk made an exception. The cooperation brought results
For many years he was not willing to create a musical duo with any of the singers. His aversions stemmed from childhood experiences. He did not feel comfortable recalling occasions when his father sang love confessions from the stage to women other than his mother. Nevertheless, he decided to work with , who delighted him not only with their vocal skills, but also with the ability to write moving and important lyrics. It was also a unique opportunity for the singer. Although she had serious voice problems at the time and was working on her sixth album, she decided to invite the artist to her home studio. – This song became a carrier of content that was important to me at that time, although I sing it in a sick, dull voice, not my own – many years later in an interview with zwierciadlo.pl.
Edyta Bartosiewicz and Krzysztof Krawczyk. Artists’ songs conquered the charts
The vocalists decided to create a Polish version of the Serbian song “Sanjaj me”. The first difficulties in cooperation began during the recordings. Struggling with voice problems, the artist was constantly looking for shortcomings and constantly wanted to correct the mistakes she caught. It was a real challenge for Krawczyk. She carved every word, every sound. I have no patience. I believe that in such situations the best is often the enemy of the good. We recorded 56 versions and she still wasn’t happy. I wanted to break the recording – the artist created the song “It’s hard like that”. Although the cooperation was difficult, they eventually managed to release a song that became a real hit right after its premiere, conquering the charts.
The duet with Edyta Bartosiewicz was an experience!
— he recalled working on the song in his book “Life like wine”.
In April 2020, the song aroused the interest of listeners again. All thanks to two American rappers, Berner and B-Real, who in collaboration with Rick Ross created the song “Candy”. Fans of Polish singers immediately picked up samples from “Trudno tak” in the song. This information pleased Krzysztof Krawczyk, who reacted enthusiastically to the fact that foreign artists were inspired by a Polish song. She approached the subject less cheerfully, especially since her vocals and melody line were used without asking her opinion beforehand. Although the singer tried to draw the attention of artists to this oversight, she ultimately failed to influence them in any way.
