Riding the high of her viral success following the single “Ain’t In LA,” pop diva ADÉLA has made her place known as the music industry’s next biggest artist. Having earned herself millions of listeners across streaming platforms, ADÉLA is on track to become someone that everybody is talking about — and this is proven even further with her debut album, PRIMA.
Making her journey all the way from Slovakia, ADÉLA — born Adéla Jergovà — moved to Los Angeles in 2022, where she underwent extensive K-pop-adjacent training to further her skills in singing and dance. Already holding years of ballet training under her belt, this skill caught the eyes of fans; she had a unique talent not seen in many pop artists. She then went on to release her debut single, “Homewrecked,” in September 2024 and her debut EP, The Provocateur, a year later. The success of The Provocateur put her on the map, and many fans followed her career after Netflix’s release of “Pop Star Academy,” the show in which Adéla was featured. This gained her a loyal fanbase, excited to see where her journey takes her.
PRIMA, meaning first, was a fitting choice for the singer to name her debut album. It details a lot of firsts for her — album, festivals, arena shows and more. It allowed ADÉLA to experiment with her sound, finding what works for her. It is a beautiful blend of upbeat EDM tracks, pop perfection and raw vocal talent.
KGB
The first single released off the project, “KGB” sets the tone for the album, allowing ADÉLA to introduce herself as an artist through the song. The electronic dance track details her upbringing as a young Slovak immigrant, and how she had to work twice as hard to get to where she is today. It also uses the name for the secret police used within the Soviet Union, a nod to her home country and also as a way to take away power from what the KGB stood for. Accompanied by a music video, ADÉLA can be seen doing ballet, an homage to her childhood and upbringing. She is also depicted as a dominatrix — showing audiences that she is a strong woman who doesn’t take shit from anybody.
NICOLE KIDMAN
For many young girls, like ADÉLA, acclaimed actress Nicole Kidman was a face seen a lot in film growing up. Inspired by Kidman’s fame and overall energy, the track perfectly captures ADÉLA’s admiration for the actress — even referencing some of her most iconic roles in the music video (including the widely loved AMC Theaters advertisement). In an interview with W Magazine, the singer reveals the inspiration behind the track came from a Golden Globes afterparty she was invited to: “I’ve never been in a movie, but I got all glammed up, and my corset was so tight that I thought, ‘I feel like Nicole Kidman right now.’”
This thought of hers inspired the song, which then became the iconic chorus.
I’M THE MAN
Although taking a more mellow route in terms of instrumentation, “I’m The Man” is anything but when it comes to its lyricism. ADÉLA challenges traditional gender roles, expressing that she wants to take on more ‘masculine’ roles within a relationship. “In my itty-bitty dress / yeah / I’m the man,” she sings in the chorus, voicing her desire to be the one “in charge” while still expressing her femininity.
BOYS
After debuting the track live on the It’s Not That Deep Tour opening for Demi Lovato in early 2026, fans quickly gravitated towards the song and anxiously waited for its release. The high-energy track details the feeling of attention from men in a social setting, both warranted and unwarranted. It’s a play on having men wrapped around her finger, doing anything to get her attention. The track also features KATSEYE’s Lara Raj, with the two girls reenacting a conversation they likely had in a club bathroom as they were being sought after.
RED BOTTOMS
Following the release of “KGB,” ADÉLA released “Red Bottoms” in June 2026 accompanied by a music video. It is a tragically heartfelt track, the singer comparing herself to the iconic Louboutin red sole — fearing that as the high of a relationship begins to fade, it will wear away and reveal her imperfections.
“Cause when the red starts to go / Will you love what’s on the other side?,” the singer declares in the chorus, expressing her fears that her insecurities and imperfections are making her lover want to leave the relationship. It’s an alluring ballad, the singer tugging on her own heartstrings.
HITACHI
Keeping the album on a vulnerable note, “Hitachi” is devastatingly beautiful — touching more on emotional and physical intimacy — as the song is cheekily named after a sexual wellness device. On top of the soft piano instrumental, ADÉLA reminisces about what her relationship was like in the past, filled with love and physical attention. She feels as though she is left unsatisfied in the relationship, noting that she only has herself to rely on. The track is hauntingly passionate, and ADÉLA’s soft yet strong vocals shine through.
FANTASIZE
Taking a sharp turn musically from previous tracks, “Fantasize” is an upbeat track that is sure to make you dance. Following up on emotions from the previous track, “Fantasize” finds ADÉLA left unsatisfied in her relationship, so she relies on herself and her fantasies of other people to fulfill her desires — Much like how Nicole Kidman’s character in the movie Eyes Wide Shut feels unsatisfied in her relationship and begins to fantasize about a relationship with someone else.
STARVING ARTIST
Leaning heavily into sexual innuendos, ADÉLA is not holding back. Filled with cheeky metaphors, “Starving Artist” has ADÉLA out of her old relationship, finding her way back to an old fling to satiate her sexual desires. She details how the person she is singing about is not emotionally or financially well off, but he is great in bed. The double entendre of “Starving Artist” is cheeky and bold, the singer not afraid to touch on her sex life.
MARIJUANA
The song’s instrumental goes back to her hyperpop sound; “Marijuana” became another fan favorite as it was teased live in London in 2025. In the opening of the track, it is noted that ADÉLA is not a weed smoker because she sings, so she has to find her high in something else. It can be inferred that her “high” is caused by sexual intimacy, as she details pulling over to the side of the road and the windows of the car fogging up. The raw intimacy of the lyrics combined with the electronic beat makes this a perfect song to blast while driving down the PCH, as ADÉLA mentions in the lyrics.
THERAPY
Another beautifully haunting track, “Therapy” has ADÉLA expressing her sorrows and frustrations with leaving her mom and sister behind in Slovakia. She details how her little sister is growing up without her, and how she wishes she could be there to watch the milestones. It’s sad and raw, the almost-bare instrumentals perfectly capturing her emotions and adding a level of depth to the album that was unexpected — but welcomed.
AIN’T IN LA
The third single released from the album “Ain’t In LA” serves as another homage to her Slovak roots — with some scenes of the music video being filmed there. Growing up, a lot of young people from smaller towns or countries believe that they can’t make it big unless they are from major cities. “Ain’t In LA” is a reminder that this is not true, and anyone can become a star, no matter what background they come from. It is a beautiful piece about unity and culture — also serving as a dedication to her mother. A unifying yet emotional piece, “Ain’t In LA” went viral as millions of listeners resonated with the message, taking to TikTok to share beautiful pieces of their culture.
Following the success of the singles, PRIMA gained worldwide attention. Listeners new and old have flocked to the album, earning ADÉLA an ever-growing fanbase. A whirlwind of emotions are captured within the album, showing the music industry that ADÉLA is here — and she is not going away.
