Imola recorded the Aurea album in Spain in 2023, collaborating with Grammy-winning musicians, including Bob Lanzetti (Snarky Puppy) as producer and Nic Hard (Snarky Puppy) as sound engineer. Together, they crafted a unique fusion of the singer-songwriter genre and modern pop elements, reflecting her deep connection to her cultural roots and her progressive musical vision. The music innovatively combines contemporary and traditional styles, blending classical and folk music influences.

Aurea invites listeners on a sonic journey, merging different musical genres and influences. Each song on the album tells a personal story, projecting significant emotional moments into music. Imola gives the predominantly pop sound a modern twist, with her classical music roots and love for Hungarian folk music shining through in the arrangements and melodies. This cultural richness defines her songwriting, bridging the past and the present, blending subjective personal meaning with universal themes.

During the album release concerts, she sings about the milestones of her life and artistic development, offering a unique and intimate experience.

“A great songwriter, vocalist, and arranger, Imola effortlessly combines the folk tradition of her native Hungary, her classical training, and her love of pop music. She has the heart of a folk musician, the mind of a classical musician, and the aesthetic of a pop musician all rolled into one.”
