Atwood Magazine’s contributors explore Doja Cat’s dynamic and genre-mixing fifth album, Vie, which serves as a playful and heartfelt tribute to love, desire, and nocturnal imagination. They delve into her romantic flings, her inclination towards nostalgic glamour and theatricality, and her evolution into a more liberated and confident pop icon. Included in the discourse are Atwood writers Ashley Littlefield, Eric Schuster, Josh Weiner, and Kendall Graham! — — To begin, what is your connection to Doja Cat’s music? Eric Schuster: I genuinely started listening to Doja Cat in 2021 with the release of her unique album, Planet Her. It was difficult to categorize, but she bridged pop and hip hop with a distinctive touch that echoed brilliant artists like Missy Elliot, Young Thug (who features prominently on Planet Her), and Nicki Minaj. Since then, she has rightfully soared to superstardom, delivering stunning performances and consistently producing quality music. Ashley Littlefield: My introduction to Doja Cat came in 2019 with “Say So,” but I truly engaged with her music in 2023 with her fourth album, Scarlet. I was instantly captivated by Scarlet's enthralling bass lines and the remarkable success of its chart-topping tracks: the two-time RIAA platinum “Agora Hills” and the four-time platinum “Paint the Town Red.” Both songs exemplify her combination of R&B vocals, melodic vibes, and attitude that is uniquely hers. Kendall Graham: I’ve been a fan of Doja since her Purrr! EP in 2014, particularly drawn in by “Nunchucks.” Her immediate charisma was something I couldn't resist. I played that EP endlessly! Although I appreciated her talent back then, the turning point for me was rediscovering her with Hot Pink in 2019 after stepping away from her music for a few years. I think she possesses a truly unique presence as an artist, and Hot Pink felt like a more polished iteration of Purrr! that pulled me right back. The antics and occasional controversies have created a bit of a love-hate relationship for me, but I find her both problematic and incredibly talented. Josh Weiner: I relate to both Eric and Ashley here; my first real encounter with Doja Cat was through her unmissable 2019 hit “Say So,” and I got to know her better as an artist when Planet Her came out two years later. I now consider myself a seasoned Doja Cat fan and was fortunate enough to experience her memorable performance during the 2023 Scarlet Tour in Boston. Doja Cat © Greg Swales What are your initial thoughts and responses to Vie? Eric: Vie marks a return to form for Doja Cat. Collaborating with the highly sought-after producer Jack Antonoff, the sound is crisp and enjoyable, arguably her best yet. Her lyrics and melodies exude happiness, especially in “Acts of Service,” where it seems Amala Dlamini is smitten (perhaps with Joseph Quinn). Ashley: The album’s soundscape is elevated to a new level. The drum patterns evoke a strong sense of nostalgia, reminiscent of 808s, 909s, and gentle snares from the ‘80s and ’90s, creating grooves that carry her charisma seamlessly between tracks. Kendall: I had some hesitations about diving into Vie, mainly due to Doja's comments about her earlier albums. I kept wondering, “Will this matter to me if she doesn’t see it as significant at some point?” I felt a certain futility when I started with “Cards,” the opening track. However, as I listened through the album, it became clear she appears to be genuinely enjoying herself and having fun with this nostalgic pop vibe. Honestly, who wouldn’t enjoy music that sounds this good? Josh: I concur with everyone’s views thus far, and I have to agree with Kendall that, fundamentally, this album is just incredibly enjoyable to listen to, which earns it a lot of favor in my eyes. How does this album compare to 2023’s Scarlet – what notable similarities or differences stand out? Eric: Dlamini had a lot to prove in Scarlet. During that time, she was grappling with superstardom and trying to set appropriate boundaries with her fans. She sought to cement her status as one of the best rappers around, which she accomplished. It reminded me of Tyler, the Creator’s Call Me If You Get Lost, as both are multi-talented artists reconnecting with their roots to showcase their rapping talents. In contrast, Vie feels more lighthearted. The album fluidly shifts between genres. Ashley: “Acts of Service” has drum patterns akin to those in Scarlet, but Vie distinguishes itself with uplifting harmonies, marking a creative transformation for Doja Cat. Kendall: It’s looser than
