Rock/Review ABELA - Wicked
ABELA is a Finland-born, Stockholm-based artist who blends pop, rock, and raw edge with honest, striking lyrics. With explosive stage presence and a voice that cuts through the noise, she has captured the attention of music blogs and radio stations alike. Since her debut in 2019, ABELA has released a series of singles and her acclaimed debut album LOST (2024), where three tracks landed on major official Spotify playlists.
With “Wicked,” ABELA doesn’t just return—she erupts. The rising rock force who made her mark with “LOST” (2024) now steps into a new creative era defined by grit, defiance, and unapologetic self-possession. If her release introduced a powerful voice, “Wicked” confirms a fully realized artist carving out her own lane with fire and intention.
From the moment the track ignites, ABELA’s signature combination of vulnerability and intensity seizes the spotlight. Her vocal delivery—equal parts razor-sharp and emotionally visceral—carries the weight of someone who has been knocked down, stood back up, and learned to stop explaining herself. That evolution becomes the core of “Wicked:” the moment you stop shrinking and instead embrace the edges, the scars, and the electricity that make you who you are.
Musically, the single is a surge of bold, kinetic energy. Crunching guitars, tight percussion, and a pulse that feels both modern and timeless anchor ABELA’s soaring performance. The production leans into a fearless rock spirit without losing the emotional clarity that made her earlier work resonate so deeply. This time, though, she’s louder—sonically and spiritually.
What makes “Wicked” stand out is its sense of liberation. It’s not a rebellion for rebellion’s sake; it’s a reclamation. A declaration of identity. A refusal to dim the lights for anyone.
After landing Spotify playlist placements with her releases, ABELA is clearly on an upward trajectory. But “Wicked” isn’t chasing momentum—it’s creating it. A blazing statement piece, it solidifies her as an artist who doesn’t follow the path.
