Emerging pop artist Adéla recently opened up about her musical influences during an appearance on Rolling Stone’s Song Shuffle segment at Lollapalooza 2026. The rising performer shared her deep admiration for Beyoncé, discussing how the superstar’s work has shaped her own artistic direction and aspirations.
During the interview, Adéla expressed her passion for Beyoncé’s track “Don’t Hurt Yourself” from the 2016 album Lemonade, praising the collaboration with Jack White and the raw emotion conveyed throughout the song. She also reflected on attending Beyoncé’s Mrs. Carter Show World Tour in her native Bratislava, Slovakia, in 2013—a formative moment she described as a core memory, despite admitting she fell asleep during portions of the performance due to her young age at the time.
Beyond Beyoncé, Adéla highlighted other artists who have influenced her musical palette, including Nelly Furtado and Britney Spears. She praised Furtado’s “Say It Right” as one of pop’s finest creations, noting its unique blend of intimacy and danceability.
As she prepares to release her debut album Prima on September 4, Adéla articulated her ambitious vision for her career. “I want to be the prima of pop one day,” she stated, positioning her upcoming project as the foundation for achieving that lofty goal.
