New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Netta, known as one of the world's most innovative modern pop stars, has announced that her long awaited debut album will be released in January 2024. To kick-off the announce, she dropped her first single "Wonderful & Great" off her upcoming album, giving us an exciting taste of what's to come!
"I wrote a love song to that girl who has everything going for her in the most perfect and annoying way," stated Netta about the track. "I thought about how we rarely compliment free of charge, and wanted to promote this positive exchange of energy between people, and in myself.Turning envy into admiration. This song is inspired by a chant that me and my besties do when we're walking out of the club at 4 am together after a great night out."
"Wonderful & Great" is the ultimate friendship anthem with Netta expressing her fondness and adoration for her best friend. This quirk-pop gem showcases how you can find true fulfillment through friendship. The video is unreal and consists of a wild "tea party" organized by Netta showcasing trippy images.
Earlier this summer, Netta dropped her anthemic disco-pop earworm "Everything," which was co-written by
Zara Larsson and AJR. This follows her successful run of June PRIDE events including this year's PRIDE LIVE Stonewall Day Celebration along with headliner
Christina Aguilera. Netta has even more PRIDE performances planned for
September as she will be headlining the opening ceremony at EUROPRIDE 2023 in Malta on
September 7th and performing at this year's OUT & EQUAL Workplace Summit 2023 on
September 12th.

Earlier this year, Netta debuted her riveting cover of Dead Or Alive's "You Spin Me
Round (Like A Record)" at the Eurovision 2023 Grand Final in Liverpool. During her performance, Netta entered from high above the arena on a giant silver bird, dazzling the crowd with her unique stage presence and powerful voice. The entire performance was a colorful and joyous spectacle reminding Eurovision fans how legendary this 2018 winner is.
Known as one of the world's premiere musical trailblazers, Netta's return to Eurovision follows her rise to international stardom in the wake of her 2018 victory in the competition and the success of her single "Toy", which has accumulated hundreds of millions of streams since its release. Since winning Eurovision, Netta has performed on NBC's TODAY, dropped her 'Goody Bag' EP, was a guest on Switched On Pop discussing her personal journey as an artist and what it takes to make the perfect Eurovision song, performed for Billboard, and was spotlighted by Consequence of Sound who said she has "dominated stages around the world and seen her music spread like wildfire", BUST who called her the "soulful singer creating escapist videos you didn't know you needed" and Hey Alma who praised her as a "role model". During the pandemic she also released a covers EP ('The Best Of Netta's Office - Vol. 1') which, inspired by her YouTube performance series of the same name, included mind-altering interpretations of songs like Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are A-Changin'", "
Barbie Girl" by Aqua, and the Mary Poppins staple "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious." Other standout tracks include the addictive "I Love My Nails" and "Playground Politica", a collaboration with Nigerian Afrobeat star Mr. Eazi that chronicles Netta's early years spent in an international school in Nigeria. Netta joined NPR's Morning Edition to discuss what makes "Playground Politica" the most personal song of her career to date.
