About ADÉLA:
In a landscape often bound by formulaic conventions, ADÉLA emerges as an artist who refuses to conform. The 22-year-old singer doesn’t just make pop music — she distorts it, challenges it, and makes it feel larger than life, yet always rooted in unfiltered emotion. “I want to create a world that’s relatable on a human level,” she says. “I want to talk about things that are maybe uncomfortable. That’s who I am also as a person: I’m super blunt and kind of clinical, in a sense. Feelings, both positive and negative, hold the same weight to me.”
That balance between grandeur and sincerity is central to her debut EP, The Provocateur. It tells the story of a woman who’s willing to do anything to become an entertainer, a dramatized yet deeply personal reflection of ADÉLA’s journey. The release of The Provocateur in August of 2025 via Capitol Records confirmed ADÉLA’s arrival, garnering her praise from outlets such as Vogue, Interview Magazine, The FADER, Harper’s Bazaar, NYLON, Rolling Stone, and PAPER Magazine, the last of which declared that her “fame comes at no surprise.” With this acclaim in tow, ADÉLA quickly sold out her debut solo live performances in London, New York, and Los Angeles. She is currently opening for Demi Lovato on her North American tour, four days into which she released her single “KGB,” the first taste of her forthcoming debut album. Co-produced by Blake Slatkin (SZA, Charli xcx, Malcolm Todd), Dylan Brady of 100 gecs, and The Dare, “KGB” explores the singer-songwriter’s upbringing and quest to make it out of Slovakia to become the artist she has emerged as since her debut in 2025. Upon its release, the single debuted at #11 on the Billboard Hot Dance/Pop charts, marking her first Billboard entry.
ADÉLA has known what it means to be shaped by the machine and to fight against it. Raised in Slovakia, the singer, born Adéla Jergova, often felt at odds with her homeland’s conservative values. “In Eastern Europe, we often think in a very limited way,” she says before elaborating. “We don’t see ourselves as worthy or able to achieve huge things because it simply has never happened before.” Rather than allow others to discourage her childhood dream of becoming a pop star, she kept it to herself. ADÉLA channeled that energy into years of rigorous ballet training, her natural talent and unrivaled work ethic driving her to go professional at age 11. By 14, she had moved to Vienna and London to attend elite ballet academies, but when music’s pull became too strong to ignore, she left to pursue it full-time.
