ADÉLA's highly anticipated debut studio album is finally here. See how Billboard ranks each track on PRIMA .
ADÉLA has officially released her debut album, PRIMA, which has been described as one of the sleekest pop albums of the year. Born in Bratislava, Slovakia, ADÉLA gained attention in 2023 after participating in Dream Academy, HYBE and Geffen Records' joint "global girl group" reality competition show. She moved to the United States in 2022, bringing pop ambition and dance training from the Vienna State Ballet and the English National Ballet School.
ADÉLA made her debut with the single "Homewrecked" in 2024, which set the stage for her unique take on pop music.
The album features 11 tracks, each co-written by ADÉLA alongside songwriters like Julia Michaels and Theron Thomas, and produced by artists such as Blake Slatkin, Dylan Brady, and The Dare. PRIMA showcases ADÉLA's ability to weave personal experiences and cultural identity into her music, making it relatable to listeners. The album begins with the raucous "KGB," which kick-starts ADÉLA's journey as a confident, sometimes headstrong pop star.
One of the album's standout tracks, "Ain't In LA," propelled ADÉLA to the Billboard Hot 100, becoming her breakthrough hit. Other notable tracks include the confessional "Therapy" and the raw, honest exploration of the music industry in "Hitachi." While some tracks, like "Fantasize" and "Boys," may lack the depth of others, PRIMA remains a concise, clear-eyed debut album that solidifies ADÉLA's place as a unique and compelling voice in the pop scene.
Billboard has ranked the album's tracks from worst to best, cementing ADÉLA's status as an artist with a vision and a distinctive sound.
