ADÉLA Makes Her Case For Pop Stardom at Sold-Out Los Angeles Show: ‘I’m an Immigrant’

ADÉLA had a few things to get off of her chest in Los Angeles — and she did so with a little ballet, fiery hair choreography, some spicy dancing and a song that might have put her in some hot water with the local crowd.

8) for the first of two Los Angeles dates, delivering a 16-song set that highlighted why she’s quickly becoming one of pop music’s most compelling emerging names.

The demand for ADÉLA in Los Angeles continues tonight (Oct.

9), when she returns to the Fonda Theatre for a second sold-out show.

With her signature bright pink hair, a hot pink ballet rail and pink and red lighting setting the tone, ADÉLA leaned into the vigorous performance style that has helped distinguish her since her days on The Debut: Dream Academy , the competition series that introduced her to a wider audience.

The sold-out show comes just weeks after the release of her debut album, PRIMA , which debuted at No.

4 on the Billboard 200 .

Two of its singles have also made their way onto the Billboard Hot 100 : “Ain’t in LA,” which peaked at No.

27, and “Nicole Kidman,” which recently climbed to No.

11.

At the Fonda, she brought those chart successes to life alongside other songs in the setlist that moved between the brash confidence of “KGB,” “Boys” and “NastyDirtyGross” and the more provocative pop of “Starving Artist,” “SexOnTheBeat” and “Superscar.” A trained ballerina, ADÉLA has the flawless movement and performance instincts to make choreography feel very central to her artistry instead of just an accessory to it.

Her fashion choices are just as much a part of the package, with a wardrobe of sparkling, barely-there separates and statement boots complementing her signature bright pink hair.

The look also fits the visual identity of her collaboration with 5 Gum, which brought its Stimulating Style Collection to select stops on the Red Bottoms Tour.
