Why Hip-Hop Heads Might Recognize the Beat in ADÉLA’s New Hit ‘Nicole Kidman’
Slovakian pop star ADÉLA’s viral song “Nicole Kidman” uses a sample also heard in rap tracks by Boldy James and G Herbo. The shared musical element has attracted attention because the songs span different genres and audiences, while ADÉLA’s track has become widely popular through social media videos.
The sample appears in Boldy James and Conductor Williams’ “Terms and Conditions” and G Herbo’s “Fallen Soldiers”, although each producer chops it differently. Its original source is reportedly “In My Father’s House”, a song from God’s Gospel Angels’ 1986 album Praise Him; neither ADÉLA’s producers nor Conductor Williams has confirmed a direct connection between the recordings.
