Slovak singer-songwriter ADÉLA has officially released her debut studio album, PRIMA, on September 4, 2026.
Building on her recent breakout, the 22-year-old artist delivers her first full-length project under Capitol Records. The album features her viral hit “Ain’t In LA,” which recently climbed to the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Philippines Hot 100 chart, where it has currently spent two weeks at the top. The track also marked ADÉLA’s first Billboard Hot 100 entry, debuting at No. 85.
Previously released tracks “KGB” and “Red Bottoms” join a collection of new songs on the 11-track project.
Among the album’s new cuts is “Nicole Kidman,” which arrives with an official music video and sees the fast-rising pop star draw inspiration from the filmography of its namesake actress, including Moulin Rouge! and Babygirl. The album also features “I’m The Man,” “Boys,” “Hitachi,” “Fantasize,” “Starving Artist,” “Marijuana,” and “Therapy.”
Executive produced by Dylan Brady and Blake Slatkin, PRIMA explores the contrasting sides of ADÉLA’s artistry. Across the project, she delves into themes of love, loss, identity, friendship, and toxic relationships, paired with an unapologetic drive to rise to the top.
Speaking about the album, ADÉLA said, “I want to be the prima of pop one day. This is the first step to do it.”
Before her current rise, the young pop star was a contestant on The Debut: Dream Academy, the global talent competition created by HYBE and Geffen Records that ultimately led to the formation of global girl group, KATSEYE.
Following the competition, ADÉLA began releasing music in 2024 with her singles, “Homewrecked” and “Superscar,” gradually building recognition before “Ain’t In LA” resonated with audiences worldwide.
