Adéla’s headlining show at the Fonda Theatre was an engaging mix of humor and honesty. During the concert, she addressed the audience with an apology before performing her song “Ain’t in L.A.” which critiques Hollywood’s image. Sharing her backstory, she reflected on her journey from Slovakia and her experience on “Dream Academy,” a reality show that helped launch her peers, but left her feeling like a misfit.
Despite past setbacks, Adéla has found success with her debut album, “Prima,” which includes hits like “Nicole Kidman,” inspired by a viral TikTok featuring Nicole Kidman and other celebrities. Her music, produced by Dylan Brady and Blake Slatkin, embraces a raw, edgy sound reminiscent of early 2000s pop.
Throughout the performance, she showcased her background in ballet, incorporating choreography that became increasingly elaborate, while engaging her audience with her charismatic stage presence. As she concluded her show, she expressed her hopes for a long career and encouraged fans to cherish their experience, all while maintaining her playful apology to Los Angeles—all met with enthusiastic support rather than boos.
