Bingkai Karya – ADÉLA has officially released her highly anticipated debut album, ‘PRIMA,’ via Capitol Records. Co-executive produced by Blake Slatkin and Dylan Brady, the album documents the journey of a young woman stepping into her power while moving toward her lifelong ambition of becoming a pop star.
Arriving alongside the album is a new music video for “Nicole Kidman,” directed by Hannah Lux Davis. Inspired by the iconic roles of Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman, the visual incorporates references to films including Eyes Wide Shut, Moulin Rouge, Birth, and Babygirl, as well as Kidman’s well-known AMC Theatres commercial. For ADÉLA, the song grew from a moment of seeing herself transformed for a Golden Globes event and feeling like the movie star she had long admired.
While ADÉLA’s debut EP introduced audiences to her through wall-shaking industrial pop, PRIMA offers a broader and more personal picture of her artistry. The album reflects the many sides of being a 22-year-old woman, balancing vulnerability with confidence, softer emotions with harder edges, and muscular beats with feminine energy.
“I tried to express both sides. I mixed the hard with the soft, the vulnerable with the swag of it all, and the muscular beats with the feminine energy. I did exactly what I wanted to.”
— ADÉLA
Across the album, ADÉLA continues to establish a distinctive creative identity while drawing inspiration from the pop artists who first shaped her musical world. Tracks such as “I’m The Man” challenge traditional gender expectations through sharp songwriting, while “Fantasize” embraces a confident, sex-positive perspective. Elsewhere, “Therapy” reveals a more exposed and intimate side, pairing sparse keys and heavily processed vocals with deeply personal reflections.
The album also arrives after a significant milestone for ADÉLA: her single “Ain’t In LA” recently earned her first Billboard Hot 100 entry, continuing to climb after debuting at No. 85. Inspired in part by her return to Bratislava and memories of her mother, the song speaks to people whose dreams can feel limited by where they come from.
For ADÉLA, the title PRIMA reflects both the album’s status as her debut and her ambition to reach the highest level of pop stardom.
“I’m trying to be the prima ballerina of pop, and this is my first step to achieve that.”

Following the album’s release, ADÉLA is set to embark on her first-ever headline tour, which sold out within minutes, before continuing to Europe and the UK in 2027. With PRIMA now available, ADÉLA enters the next stage of her career with a clear ambition: to build her own world of pop on her own terms.
