An album that the artist says will “fully encapsulate” the ’70s and ’80s – with some “modern twists,” Vie is the forthcoming Doja Cat full length.
About the superstar singer/songwriter’s follow up to 2023 Scarlet, in a recent interview with Los Angeles’ 102.7 KIIS FM radio station, 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 of 2024, the musician (born Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini) took to social media and shared the names of 13 songs, stating that ‘Cards’, ‘Acts Of Service’, ‘Make It Up’, ‘Did I Lie’ and ‘Crack’ were her “favorite” adding that the “Songs are in no particular order. Starred my favorites. (sic)”
In September of last year, the now 29-year-old artist admitted that she doesn’t want to write hits just to “protect her pockets”. Adding that she’s recorded prior material just to be popular, the American-born musician 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.”
