Adéla has plenty to celebrate after her breakthrough year, but earning the title of Grammy nominee isn’t something the singer is ready to claim just yet.
Despite landing two major hits and building a strong online following throughout 2026, the 22-year-old Slovakian singer has decided to sit out the 2027 Grammy Awards race, revealing in an interview that she chose not to submit her music for consideration.
In chat with Who What Wear, the Nicole Kidman hitmaker explained, “I think it’s a nomination you need to earn.”
She shared that she still has plenty of milestones to reach in her career before pursuing recognition at the music industry’s biggest awards ceremony.
“I have so much more work to do before I even think of that. I have my tour, and I want to start writing my next album,” she admitted.
Adéla believes she still has more to prove before stepping onto the Grammy stage.
“I think I need to do all the work I can this year and next in order to really earn it,” she said, suggesting that “maybe in 2028” she would “feel like I truly deserve to be in that room.”
Earlier this year, Adéla released her debut full length album, Prima, which features the hit singles Nicole Kidman and Ain’t in L.A..
The singles made an impressive showing on the Billboard Hot 100, landing at Number 6 for Nicole Kidman and Number 24 for Ain’t in L.A. Both tracks also gained considerable momentum across social media.
