'80s Glamour Unleashed: Doja Cat's Bold 'Jealous Type' Debut
The Queen of Rap Returns: Doja Cat Unleashes Her Sizzling New Era
In a move that's got everyone buzzing, the incomparable Doja Cat has finally unleashed her highly anticipated fifth album, "Vie", along with its sultry lead single, "Jealous Type". This 29-year-old rap sensation, born Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini, is back and better than ever, serving up a striking new visual that's got everyone talking.
The "Say So" star has never been one to shy away from taking risks, and this latest campaign is no exception. For her provocative shoot, Doja Cat embodied an über-glamorous 80s-inspired high-class escort, complete with voluminous blonde hair and bold blue eyeshadow that would make even the most seasoned supermodel green with envy. But what really gets our attention is the hotline she's set up for fans to call or text - because when you're a queen, you've got to keep your people informed.
This isn't the first time Doja has paid homage to the 80s in her work, of course. We all remember her show-stopping Met Gala look earlier this year, courtesy of none other than designer Marc Jacobs. The two have been collaborating on some seriously sizzling projects, including a snippet of "Jealous Type" featured in his latest campaign. When asked about her inspiration for the era-bending look, Doja told Teyana Taylor and Ego Nwodim on fashion's biggest night: "I just wanted to feel like a little gangsta, I just wanted to feel like the madam." And with that, she solidified her status as a style chameleon.
But what do we really know about Doja Cat's upcoming album? In a recent interview with V Magazine, the "Paint the Town Red" star dished on her latest obsession - the 80s. While born in 1995 and therefore having no actual experience of the decade (or so she claims), Doja views it as a "dream world concept, or dream-core". She wants to play with nostalgia by incorporating Lo-Fi sounds and samples that evoke childhood memories without being too on-the-nose.
This is not the first time Doja has taken creative risks in her music. Her fourth album, "Scarlet", released last year, was met with both critical acclaim and controversy. The 17-track project was marred by last-minute changes to its artwork and rumors of a "meltdown" - claims that Doja Cat vehemently denied. Yet the music itself was widely praised for its harder-edged sound and her bold decision to eschew features altogether.
The lead single, "Paint the Town Red", proved to be a massive commercial success, reaching number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, the UK Singles Chart, and the Billboard Global 200. So what can we expect from "Vie"? Based on Doja's track record, it's sure to be a wild ride - and with this sizzling new visual to get us started, we can't wait.
Get ready for the most anticipated album of the year - "Vie" is coming soon!
