Power Play - Jaki Ty Naprawdę Jesteś

Review by Tanya Michelle

Jaki Ty Naprawdę Jesteś: A Polish Eurodance Time Capsule You Didn’t Know You Needed Let’s get one thing straight—1996 was a wild year. People were still figuring out what the internet was, and somehow Power Play dropped an album that felt like it came from another dimension entirely. Jaki Ty Naprawdę Jesteś (which roughly translates to "Who Are You Really?") is not just any electronic record; it’s a snapshot of Poland at its most unapologetically danceable. With Blue Star as their label and Jacek Kruszewski pulling strings behind the scenes, this album is equal parts cheesy, heartfelt, and downright addictive. The genre mashup here is bonkers: Polish lyrics meet Eurodance beats with sprinkles of Central European traditions thrown in for good measure. It’s like your grandma’s folk songs got into a fight with a rave DJ—and they both won. And let’s give credit where it’s due: K. Walczak killed it on design concept AND photography, while Sławomir Skręta kept things tight in editing. Hats off to engineer Krzysztof Czub too—he made sure these tracks slap harder than a 90s mixtape. Now, onto the meaty stuff: the tracks. This album has 14 bangers, but two stood out enough to make me wonder if I need therapy or just more time on the dance floor. First up, “Jak Samotny Żagiel” (feat. Izabela). Oh man, this track hits different. The melody floats like—you guessed it—a lonely sailboat lost at sea, but there’s something oddly comforting about how melancholic yet groovy it feels. Izabela’s vocals add this ethereal layer, like she’s whispering secrets only you can hear over pulsating synths. Every time it comes on, I feel like I’m starring in my own moody Polish soap opera—but with better music. Then there’s “Need Your Smile.” If ever there was a song designed to cure bad moods, this would be it. It’s pure Eurodance gold, complete with those infectious keyboard riffs and a beat so catchy it should probably come with a warning label. There’s no deep philosophical meaning here—it’s just fun. Like, stupidly fun. By the second chorus, you’ll either be dancing awkwardly in your kitchen or questioning why you haven’t done aerobics since high school. And hey, props to Power Play for sneaking in some slower jams like “Miłość Znajdzie Drogę” ("Love Will Find a Way"). These moments break up the chaos and remind you that beneath all the flashy production, there’s actual heart here. Not every track will stick, but when they do, oh boy, they stick. So, what’s the verdict? Is Jaki Ty Naprawdę Jesteś a masterpiece? Nah, not really. But does it matter? Absolutely not. What it lacks in polish, it makes up for in charm and sheer audacity. Listening to this album feels like flipping through an old photo album—you might cringe occasionally, but damn if it doesn’t bring back memories you didn’t even know you had. Final thought: If aliens ever invade Earth and ask us to prove we’re worth saving, playing them “Need Your Smile” might actually work. Or maybe it’d just confuse them into leaving us alone. Either way, mission accomplished.
