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.

Mega-star absolutely roasts fan after interaction on the street
A seemingly sweet fan interaction with pop star Doja Cat has taken an ugly turn – with the singer publicly shaming the man on social media just days after their encounter. Taking to X, the Grammy-winning artist claimed the fan – who had approached her in the street earlier this month – had crossed serious boundaries during the meeting. 'Don't touch me and man handle me when you don't even f**king know me. He didn't even know my name, to be touching me and kissing me on my face is crazy,' she wrote bluntly. 'Bottom line is, I'll smile at you but it doesn't mean I f**k with you,' the singer added in the tweet, which she deleted shortly aftter. The clip, which has over 3 million likes, shows LA local Pablo Tamayo approaching the singer and gifting her the shirt he's wearing. 'I'm about to give my shirt to Doja Cat because she's the icon "It" girl,' he says while the Say So singer smiles beside him. The two then exchange names and share a series of hugs before the video ends with the pair jumping up and down excitedly. Doja Cat followed up her since-deleted posts saying, 'I threw that musty ass shirt away by the way.' Viewers were divided, with some claiming the pop star looked 'uncomfortable.' 'She's low-key frightened,' said one. 'I can't lie I feel like he overstepped the boundaries,' chimed in another. Others saw nothing wrong with the interaction, branding Doja Cat 'weird and fake.' 'This was so cute until I saw her tweet,' said one. 'Celebrities are so weird! How are you going to act like this and switch up?!,' questioned another. 'Seeing this now seems so upsetting,' said a third. 'I feel bad for this guy. What she said on Twitter was disgusting and hurtful,' echoed a fourth. Pablo has since responded to the tweets saying, 'It hurts because I loved her.' 'She was being so nice and pointed out my shirt so I gave her one,' he said. 'I understand if I was being too nice and I will take full accountability but I don't even know what's going on.' 'Maybe not everyone is who they portray in person,' he added. The LA local has since gone one step further by posting a photo of his own Doja Cat merch with the caption, 'I threw this musty ass shirt away.' This isn't the first time Doja Cat has been in hot water with her fans. In 2022, the singer lost over 200,000 followers after calling her fans 'crazy people' and refusing to say she loved them. 'My life, my rules, my style, my attitude,' she said at the time.
