I'm really curious what you guys think, but after seeing her open for Demi Lovato I've been wondering if some of the choices made for the setlist of 'it's not that deep' were made to avoid introducing new people to the hate she got from dream academy?

I noticed when she performed finally apologizing she didn't do the second verse, where she sings "Sorry that my friends are all still friends with me" and instead only sings the parts that are more generally about being independent and not being controlled by the industry.

Additionally she didn't perform machine girl at all, despite it being one of her most streamed songs and promoted as a single when she released her EP. It was her only released song that she skipped, and is the most direct about her being perceived as a mean girl and the hate she received.

I think it's probably a smart move for her to do this honestly, as it does prevent new potential fans from immediately judging her for resolved interpersonal drama from years ago, but it would have been nice to see her perform machine girl as it's a great song!

what do you think sets her apart from the other up and coming pop / electronic pop girlies? genuinely asking.
for me what makes adela interesting is her multidisciplinary approach: she sings, she dances, she performs, she has good visuals (even though we haven’t gotten much music videos) and she excels at all of them. obviously she had the training on dream academy, but she’s really excellent at putting on a show (whereas i feel like with the other pop acts that are making a wave right now there is always a discussion around their vocals or dance abilities)

with adela i’ve seen a lot of people comment “why isn’t she more famous?” and i just think it’s cause she doesn’t play it safe, she doesn’t want a one hit wonder career, she’s building a community around her music.
i’m really excited for her first album and i hope after it we’ll have a clearer idea about adela as an artist.
