25 July 2026 – ADÉLA Says The Coolest People ‘Ain’t In LA’

Slovak pop artist <a href="/tags/adela">ADÉLA</a> announces debut album ‘PRIMA’, arriving on 4 September, and shares the bass-heavy new single ‘Ain’t In LA’. Executive-produced by Dylan Brady and Blake Slatkin, the album promises a portrait of a 22-year-old artist refusing to disguise ambition, contradiction or the occasional ugly thought beneath respectable pop language.

‘Ain’t In LA’ was inspired by photographs of ADÉLA’s mother at eighteen, posing in Bratislava beside a wall covered in imported pop-culture posters. The resulting song celebrates people with enormous dreams who never receive the spotlight required to turn them into public mythology. Its video returns to Bratislava, connecting the international pop career ADÉLA is building with the home and family history that preceded it. Los Angeles may have the billboards, but apparently Bratislava kept several of the more interesting characters. Read more pop updates in our <a href="/genres/indie-pop">Indie Pop</a> section.
