Adalita - Adalita (15th Anniversary Edition) (2026) [Hi-Res]

Originally released in March of 2011, Adalita was initially conceived as a humble solo project, laboured over in isolation. The resulting album not only thrilled fans of the artist’s former band Magic Dirt, but also introduced her to a younger audience who weren’t necessarily aware of the enormous body of work she had accumulated since the early 1990s. The intense mood of Adalita gained extra poignancy with the untimely death of Magic Dirt bassist Dean Turner, who greatly inspired and supported Adalita in stepping out on her own.

The public and critics were blown away by the raw and vital vision presented on Adalita, which dealt with weighty themes such as friendship, desire and mortality with an unflinching candor and humanity. The album entered the ARIA Album chart at #23 and went on to win the AIR award for Best Independent Album and was shortlisted for the Australian Music Prize as well as a nomination in the Best Female artist category at the 2011 ARIA Awards.
