Welcome to SOUND ADVICE, Interview’s weekly destination for playlists curated by our friends, enemies, and lovers. In recent weeks, we’ve featured playlists from Jim-E Stack, DJ Flirty800, and PinkPantheress. This week’s edition comes from Adéla, pop’s Slovakian shapeshifter. She calls her new EP The Provocateur—rightfully so, given her penchant for spectacle and flair. The 21-year-old KATSYE alum thrives on high drama and even higher heels, namely Christian Louboutin So Kates, the stilettos she told us she’ll wear when the apocalypse comes. Her album is a sleek collision of seduction and defiance, much like her playlist: easing in with Prince, cruising through Madonna, and landing hard on Rosalía. The Provocateur drops this Friday, so consider this playlist an appetizer to the full-blown meal ahead.
