Malinka

Malinka, the stage name of Polish singer-songwriter Aleksandra Katarzyna Wielgosz, is a rising indie-pop artist known for her moody, introspective lyrics and genre-blending sound. Emerging in the early 2020s, she quickly carved a niche with tracks like "czy myślisz o mnie?" and "każdy ma swoje lustra," which mix electronic textures with raw emotional storytelling. Her music often dances between Polish and English lyrics, as heard in the wistful "BCN" and the shimmering "after burning," showcasing her knack for crafting atmospheric vignettes about love, self-discovery, and modern youth culture.

With releases like her 2022 EP *Golden Games* and collaborations with artists like Dawid Podsiadło, Malinka has become a fixture in Poland’s indie scene, balancing melancholic synth-pop with occasional rock-infused edges (see the brooding "RISKY" or the bittersweet "miód"). Her relatable, diary-like songwriting and smoky vocals have earned her a growing fanbase, while festival appearances and intimate live shows reinforce her reputation as an artist unafraid to peel back layers—both in her music and in the mirrors she holds up to her generation.
