Doja Cat teases '70's and '80s-inspired album with 'modern twists'
Doja Cat's new album 'Vie' will "fully encapsulate" the '70s and '80s - with some "modern twists". The 'Say So' hitmaker is expected to release the follow-up to 2023's 'Scarlet' sometime this year and she has shared snippets of what fans can expect. Speaking on Los Angeles' 102.7 KIIS FM radio station recently, she said: 'I'm really punching my foot through the wall into that situation. I want to really fully encapsulate that time and still give it some modern twists here and there.' In November, the 'Paint The Town Red' hitmaker took to X to share the names of 13 songs from the album. She highlighted five of the songs - 'Cards', 'Acts Of Service', 'Make It Up', 'Did I Lie' and 'Crack' - as her "favourite". Doja later noted: "Songs are in no particular order. Starred my favorites. (sic)' However, she later deleted the post. In September, the 29-year-old rapper and singer declared that she doesn't want to write hits just to "protect her pockets". Doja admitted she has done songs in the past just to be popular, and said she wanted to experiment with the eclectic mix of genres that she loves, including jazz, neo soul, indie and rock music. In an interview conducted by singer Jack Harlow for Present Space, Doja said: "I really love jazz music, and I love neo soul, and different kinds of rock music and indie and experimental music. That stuff tends to get pushed to the side by the general populace, and I didn't see it in the past for me, so I did the thing that I knew would stick. Now, I feel like I can take those elements that I have from the music that sticks and put it into this soup of different genres that I really love and enjoy and respect, and make something new with it. That's what I've always loved to do, is swirl a lot of different sounds together, but really in the future, I want to start going in a different direction sonically that isn't supposed to just protect my pockets necessarily, and isn't just supposed to woo the younger fans or the people who only want to hear sexual themes or self-medication or stuff like that. There's so much to life and it's been a pattern of writing about those things for me, but now I want to stretch the canvas." The star stepped away from her conventional pop style on 'Scarlet', focusing on hip-hop and R'n'B.

Doja Cat channels Miley Cyrus' Wrecking Ball as she goes NAKED for racy new music video
Doja Cat left fans absolutely speechless as she boldly recreated one of the most controversial and provocative music videos in pop history. On Wednesday, the 29-year-old rapper channeled none other than Miley Cyrus in the music video for her new, highly anticipated track, Lose My Mind, as she stripped off her clothing and rode on top of an engine, drenched in just black oil. The Paint The Town Red hitmaker appeared to be reenacting the unforgettable moment that the three-time Grammy winner, 32, infamously straddled a swinging wrecking ball back in 2013. When Cyrus released her polarizing music video for Wrecking Ball, it earned the Vevo record for the most views in the first 24 hours after its release with 19.3 million views. The video, which features the former Disney Channel star licking a sledgehammer at one point, has since amassed over 1.2 billion views. Although she may have sought some inspiration from Cyrus, Doja paved her own path with the rest of the striking video, alongside her collaborator Don Toliver. In the video, Toliver gets behind the wheel as Doja rocks various futuristic looks. The artists joined forces on Lose My Mind, which will be featured in Brad Pitt and Damson Idris' upcoming F1 movie. They wrote the song, alongside producers Ryan Tedder and Hans Zimmer. The F1 The Album drops on June 27, the same day as the Apple Original Film, which stars Pitt and Idris as competing F1 drivers. F1 - which also stars Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Kim Bodnia, and Javier Bardem - follows retired Formula One racer Sonny Hayes (Pitt) who returns to the track after a horrible crash to mentor rookie prodigy Joshua 'Noah' Pearce (Idris). For their roles Pitt and Idris had to undergo 'months of training' that also involved learning the art of this particular genre of racing under the tutelage of seven-time world champion Sir Lewis Hamilton. The movie was filmed at various Formula One races held around the globe over the past few years. Joining the main stars of the cast are Shea Whigham, Joseph Balderrama, Sarah Niles, Samson Kayo, Callie Cooke, Will Merrick, and Layne Harper. Although she may have sought some inspiration from Cyrus, Doja paved her own path with the rest of the striking video, alongside her collaborator Don Toliver Earlier this month, Doja shared a 16-track list for her forthcoming album Vie that included the songs Turn the Lights On, Slide, One More Time, Make It Up, Lipstain, Kink, Jealous Type and I Like You. It will follow her 2023 album Scarlet, which she previously called 'quite an angry project' during an interview with Jack Harlow for Present Space, last year. 'I think the point of that album was to showcase anger and how it processes through my mind, but also it's about coming to your own defense and love,' she said. Doja continued: 'It's sort of my "Why I oughta!" moment of squaring up with everyone and defending myself, telling myself that I'm here for me, and not just for everybody else's enjoyment.'
