Slovak-born singer-songwriter Adéla Jergová—21 years old and New York-based—transformed a public elimination from the K-Pop-style Dream Academy into fuel for her solo career. Despite early setbacks, she channeled her raw honesty into The Provocateur, releasing the daring EP on August 22, 2025, via Capitol and Polydor Records.
Meet “The Provocateur” & Her Uncompromising Sound
Across seven tracks, Adéla blends indie-rock grit, industrial throb, and unapologetic pop flair:
“DeathByDevotion”—co-produced with Dylan Brady and Zhone—delivers a Nine Inch Nails–style guitar crunch and lyrics confessing toxic loyalty, set to a manic pointe-shoe dance video.
“SexOnTheBeat” launches with a cheeky mock-masterclass and climaxes in an over-the-top aerobics routine—satirizing pop’s obsession with sexuality.
Other standout tracks like “Superscar” (Britney-esque robopop) and “Machine Girl” (Grimes-produced hyperpop commentary) underline Adéla’s boundary-pushing ethos.
A Provocateur with Purpose
Adéla intentionally cultivates discomfort. As she puts it, her blunt, Eastern European humor—what she calls her “rage-baiter” energy—is intrinsic to her art. Her provocative visuals (from “women pissing” EP cover art to corpse-chic music videos) invite conversation, not comfort.
Track Record & Tour Announcement
Her journey to this debut is a profile in persistence:
1. Early singles like “Homewrecked” (2024) and “Superscar” steadily established her fierce pop identity.
2. Breakthrough tracks in 2025—“Machine Girl” (Grimes co-produced) and “DeathByDevotion”—blazed the trail for the full EP.
3. She announced The ProvocaTour Part I, hitting London, NYC, and LA in October 2025—bringing her theatrical presence to stages in real life.
