Introducing the Australian-Albanian artist Adelina who has been steadily releasing her specialised blend of pop and R&B since 2018. Now, based in Los Angeles, this underrated talent has unveiled her first single of the year with ‘How you feel’, which is a deeply intimate, sensual and emotionally open track that seeks to immerse listeners in the moment. Adelina’s luscious vocals are steeped in a gossamer atmosphere where minimalist beats, slinking bass and delicate guitar strings move together in perfect harmony. It’s clear that the chemistry between this artist and her producer Luthersson, who first connected in early 2023, is undeniable here. It’s a creative link that’s cemented the sense of closeness and privacy at the heart of Adelina’s songwriting.

‘How you feel’ walks that fine line between total vulnerability and a teasing restraint, replicating the push and pull tension of an intimate encounter. Adelina’s performance is also purposefully understated, yet irrefutably magnetic, as she delivers lines like, “don’t be shy, let me know how you feel, if you wanna die, I can take you to the deep end.” By embracing subtlety, this artist carefully crafts a dreamy pocket in space and time where desire and surrender not only coexist, but feed into one another. This is modern R&B at its finest.

‘”How you feel” captures the moment a physical relationship becomes something deep and profound. This ethereal R&B sound embodies a deep, sensual connection, an intimate, vulnerable energy, where two people completely immerse themselves in the moment.”
