Aya Nakamura Releases 'Destinée' as Stade de France Trifecta Sells Out

Early sales position the 18-track set for platinum certification.

Overview

  • The fifth studio album arrives with a more intimate tone that folds jazz, house and Caribbean influences into her R&B and zouk palette.
  • The record includes five collaborations, notably with Kali Uchis and Joé Dwèt Filé, alongside summer single "Baddies."
  • Le Monde reports preorders and early sales guarantee at least platinum status upon release in France.
  • Three solo shows at Stade de France on May 29–31, 2026 sold out about 240,000 tickets in rapid time.
  • Access to the online presale for the first two stadium dates required buying the CD, a lawful but contentious tactic that angered fans.
