Ewelina Agnieszka Flinta (born 24 October 1979 in Lubsko) is a Polish singer. She rose to fame after placing second in the Polish talent show Idol in 2002. Between 2003 and 2008, Flinta released two albums and scored a number of hits, such as "Żałuję", "Goniąc za cieniem", "Nie znasz mnie" and "Nie kłam, że kochasz mnie".

Career

Ewelina started her career in the mid-1990s singing in Polish rock groups. She performed at the Woodstock Festival while a member of the band Surprise.[1] From 2001, she started performing at the Studio Buffo in Warsaw. In early 2002, Flinta entered the first season of the talent show Idol where she placed second, amassing 32% of all votes in the grand finale.[2]

Flinta signed with BMG Poland and in April 2003 released her debut album, Przeznaczenie. It spawned major hit "Żałuję" which topped the national airplay chart,[3] and the popular follow-up "Goniąc za cieniem" which reached number 2.[4] The album received favourable reviews, peaked at number 2[5] and was certified gold in Poland.[6] In 2004, she released a standalone single "Tylko słowa", performed to not much success at the Opole Festival, and a cover of Bonnie Raitt's "Will the Sun Ever Shine Again?" for the Polish version of the Disney film Home on the Range.

In 2005, Ewelina released her second album, Nie znasz mnie, which peaked at number 6 in Polish sales chart.[7] It spawned two singles: the popular title song which was a top 5 airplay hit in Poland,[8] and "Nieskończona historia" which was performed at the Sopot Festival song contest.

Flinta contributed a song to another Disney film, this time a Polish version of "Ever Ever After" for Enchanted which premiered in Poland in early 2008.[9] She then duetted with Łukasz Zagrobelny for the track "Nie kłam, że kochasz mnie" from the Polish romantic comedy Nie kłam, kochanie. The song was a major hit in Poland.

Between 2010 and 2015, Flinta toured with Adam Palma and Mariusz Mielczarek as trio Flinta & Palma & Fazi.[10] Although she continued to perform, she entered a somewhat recording hiatus, making only guest contributions on various projects, such as Sounds like Women in 2019.[11]

In 2022, Flinta returned with solo singles which will be included on her new studio album, Mariposa.[12] In autumn 2023, she was one of the contestants in the talent show Twoja twarz brzmi znajomo.
