Destinée is the fifth studio album by French and Malian singer Aya Nakamura. It was released on 21 November 2025 through Warner Music France.[1]

The album features guest appearances from Colombian-American singer Kali Uchis, Jamaican singer Shenseea, French singer Kany, British-Nigerian singer JayO, and French-Haitian singer Joé Dwèt Filé. A deluxe edition of this album, titled Destinée Supremacy, was released on 31 May 2026, and featuring eight new tracks, including the single "Sexy Nana" in collaboration with French-Senegalese rapper La Rvfleuze.

Background

In October 2025, Nakamura announced Destinée would be released on 21 November 2025 via Warner Music France.[1] The album was said to mark the start of a new era in her sound and persona—a "futuristic" aesthetic teased on social media with visual elements such as a blue wig, silver nails and cosmic styling.[1]

Controversy

In May 2026, Serbian singer Ivana ‘Boom’ Nikolić plagiarized the cover.[2]
