. However, the mediocre success of the singles When You Come Back To Me (especially in Scandinavia and Portugal) and One & One (especially in France and Germany) limited the album's global impact, with sales of 350,000 copies internationally, including 150,000 copies sold in Poland. Two songs from that album were successfully covered by other artists: One & One by Robert Miles

Falling sales

In 1999 Górniak began a tour through Poland and released the concert album Live ´99. In 2002 she was dropped from EMI

EMI

International and signed to Virgin Germany. Then her next international album Perła ("Pearl") was released in Poland, a year before its international premiere. It was produced by the team Absolute

, which was responsible for the success of The Spice Girls. The Polish edition was a double album, which contained seven songs in Polish, and included such hits as Jak najdalej ("As Far As Possible") and Nie proszę o więcej ("I'm Not Asking for More").

Górniak was also asked to sing the Polish National Anthem at the 2002 FIFA World Cup, but her performance had a decidedly mixed reception. In 2003 an English-language version of Perła was released internationally under the title Invisible, with the club tune Impossible, which was the first international single from the album. Its mediocre success only in Germany, Austria and Switzerland made Invisible a commercial flop with over ten times worse international sales than her previous studio album. Anyway, the Polish version called Perła had quite good results in her native country in a time of phonographic crisis, selling 40,000 units. A year later she was dropped from Virgin and after ten years of cooperation she also left her Polish label. In that time she had another hit in Poland, Nie było ("Wasn't"), recorded with Polish metal band Sweet Noise.

Independent music

That same year she gave birth to her son, Allan. The father of her child was Dariusz Krupa, who worked with her as a guitarist. Together with Krupa she founded their own independent label, EG.Production and Krupa became Górniak's manager. First she started a collaboration with the Polish production team Mathplanete to record her new Polish album in a brand new style, with chill-out club music. In May 2005, she released the single Lunatique, which was performed in French. In November, Edyta married Dariusz Krupa.

In February 2006 she appeared on the cover of Polish edition of Playboy

magazine for the third time and released another club single Sexuality. Both singles recorded with Mathplanete flopped on charts, so Górniak dumped the idea of recording club music. She began working on her new international pop album, seeking a new major record label. She chose Sony BMG and the first result of this new direction was the song Cygańskie serce ("Gypsy Heart") in June. In December she released her English-language single Loving You. In January 2007 Górniak sang another movie theme, this time for the Polish-language version of the animated Spanish movie Dragon Hill. Without any promotion all these songs also flopped on charts.

From March 2007 to November 2009 Górniak appeared as the juror in six seasons of TV show "Jak oni śpiewają" ("Soapstar Superstar

"), in which stars from popular Polish soap operas competed for a record deal.

Her first studio album in five years, E.K.G., finally was recorded for independent label Agora. It was released in October 2007 and promoted by the single and her first video in almost five years, List ("Letter"). It was a Polish version of Celine Dion's I Surrender, which originally was written for Górniak. E.K.G. has moved 40,000 copies in Poland, just like her previous album, and all without promotion.

Return on top

In November 2008 Górniak released a single To nie tak jak myślisz ("It's Not How You Think"), which was the movie theme from the Polish comedy To nie tak jak myślisz, kotku. This song became another breakthrough in her career - her first after six years of absence in Polish radio and music television. In 2009 Górniak's marriage was over and she left their own independent label. Initially, Edyta announced that she will release her fifth studio album in Summer 2010 in her new own label. Later, however, it was announced that the album will not be released until Autumn 2011. It is promoted by the single Teraz - tu ("Now - Here"), released in January 2011. Górniak directed video for this single, which was premiered in June. On the same month another single, On The Run, was sent to radio stations. Its video was premiered in August. In October Górniak released single Oj... kotku, which was the movie theme from the Polish comedy Pokaż kotku, co masz w środku.
