Stereo typ is a studio album by
Polish singer
Kayah, released in
2003 by Zic Zac and
BMG Poland. It spawned one of the singer's biggest hits, "Testosteron".
Background
Kayah wrote all lyrics on the album, except for "Do It Right", written by
Mika Urbaniak, and "Testosteron", co-written with Krzysztof Pszona. The title refers to stereotypes surrounding Kayah as an artist and as a woman. Musically, the album is a combination of
Pop and
soul, with elements of
funk and club music. The first single, "Testosteron", was another major hit for the singer, reaching number 2 in the
Polish airplay chart.[3] The second and final single, "Do D.N.A.", met only with minor success. Kayah first premiered some of the new material live at the 40th
Sopot International Song Festival on 23 August 2003. The album was subsequently promoted by Stereo Tour in various clubs in Poland.
Stereo typ entered the
Polish album sales chart at number 1 and remained in the top 10 for nine weeks. It was
certified gold in Poland for sales exceeding 35,000 copies. The album was also nominated to the
Fryderyk award for the Best Pop Album.[4]
