ADÉLA’s ‘Prima’ is a bold debut that puts the Slovakian Pop Star on the global radar

Mumbai, 14^th September 2026: ADÉLA makes a striking debut with ‘Prima’, turning pop ambition, vulnerability and unapologetic attitude into a compelling introduction to her world. Released on September 4, 2026 via Capitol Records, the debut album arrives after a breakthrough year for the Slovakian singer, who first gained attention as a contestant on the 2023 reality talent show Dream Academy. After building momentum with high-energy releases including ‘Supercar’ and ‘DeathByDevotion’, ADÉLA has emerged as a formidable performer, with her infectious single ‘Ain’t In LA’ helping establish her as one of pop’s most exciting new voices.

The title Prima translates to “first”, while also referencing the pinnacle of performance in ballet, connecting the project to ADÉLA’s background as a trained ballerina. Musically, the album looks towards the golden era of 2000s pop while giving those influences a contemporary edge. Tracks such as ‘Marjuana’ and ‘Boys’ showcase her ability to move between EDM energy, club-pop attitude and cheekier pop songwriting. ‘Boys’ channels the spirit of The Pussycat Dolls with club-ready production, while ‘Marjuana’ leans into an expansive EDM sound built for bigger spaces.

Yet Prima is not simply a collection of high-energy pop tracks. The album also gives ADÉLA room to step away from the bravado and explore more vulnerable territory. ‘Hitachi’ and ‘Therapy’ slow the pace, reflecting on heartbreak and the singer’s inner world, while ‘Nicole Kidman’ takes a more relaxed, horn-heavy approach. NME notes that the album marks a clear shift from the frenetic hyperpop associated with her earlier work, revealing an artist increasingly interested in balancing spectacle with introspection. At her strongest, ADÉLA’s vocal confidence and playful personality become the album’s defining strengths.

With Prima, ADÉLA is making a clear case for her place in the next generation of global pop stars. Her music draws from familiar pop references without simply replicating them, while her commanding vocals and willingness to embrace the genre’s more provocative side give the project its own personality. From the summer-ready energy of ‘Ain’t In LA’ to the ambition-driven punch of ‘KGB’, the debut captures an artist stepping confidently into a much bigger spotlight. For ADÉLA, Prima is not just a first album, it is the beginning of a serious bid for pop stardom.
