ADÉLA just delivered one of the most theatrical late night debuts in recent memory. The Slovakian pop star took over The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday, performing her viral hit“Nicole Kidman”alongside the chorus of“Ain’t in LA.”Her set blended ballet-inspired choreography with cabaret-style flourishes and dress lifts that clearly nodded to Moulin Rouge!, turning the late night stage into a full spectacle.
In her interview with Fallon, ADÉLA opened up about her Slovakian upbringing and the surprising way she learned English: by watching Hannah Montana and The Tonight Show itself. She also shared that“Ain’t in LA”changed her life, confirmed that Nicole Kidman approved the song named after her, and taught Fallon her signature dance move, the“Swaggerina.”
Her debut album PRIMA, released September 4th, is out now. Given this performance and the buzz around“Nicole Kidman,”ADÉLA is officially a name to watch. Have you listened to PRIMA yet? Let us know what track you have on repeat.
