Adja + Helena Casella

Adja - Spiritual neosoul

Following her acclaimed debut EP and viral single "Told You So", Adja presents her first full-length album "Golden Retrieve Her" (Sdban Ultra). The Brussels-based artist combines neo soul, jazz, R&B and gospel with a quirky flair and deep themes. With influences from D'Angelo, Erykah Badu, Hiatus Kaiyote and Lauryn Hill, it makes for an impressively rich live show full of emotion, humor and spirituality.

Adja wrote the album with partner-in-crime and guitarist Alexis Nootens. It became a conceptual record about the influence of capitalism on our most intimate moments. A pretty intense subject matter, with a mix of generosity, tenderness and an unforgettable voice translated into a powerful performance. The singles "A Moment" and "Sucking on My Emphatitties" already show versatility and courage.

Helena Casella - R&B with roots in Brazil

Belgian-Brazilian singer Helena Casella effortlessly weaves her musical roots with R&B, soul, hip-hop and modern jazz. With a soft, deep voice and a penchant for poetry and phonetics, she brings a sound that feels both intimate and ethereal. Her debut album (W.E.R.F. Records) is filled with warmth, rhythmic sophistication and a touch of Brazilian nostalgia.

Helena grew up in an extraordinarily musical family and lets that legacy shine through in her compositions. Her music is as playful as it is layered, reminiscent of artists such as Yazmin Lacey, Celeste and Solange. Expect an evening of smooth grooves, deep lyrics and musical finesse.
