Album Review of "Vie" by Doja Cat (8/10)

Kemosabe and RCA Records

Producers: Various

A fitting love letter to ‘80s R&B and dance-pop, Doja Cat’s fifth studio album, Vie, is one of her most exciting and romantic albums to date. The album draws inspiration from powerhouse artists like Janet Jackson and Madonna. The tracks are overflowing with personality and ambition. “AAAHH MEN!” and “Silly! Fun!” highlights her signature wit and unfiltered songwriting, while the interesting inflections on “Stranger” and experimental synth sound of “One More Time” showcase Doja’s growth as a singer. Doja plays to her strengths as the low-tempo sounds of Vie perfectly compliment her raspy vocals.
