ALBUM REVIEW: DOJA CAT'S RAP ODYSSEY: 'SCARLET' ALBUM BREAKS NEW GROUND!

BY JESSE ZAPATERO

Doja Cat's latest album, 'Scarlet,' is a bold declaration that she's not just a contender – she's also a heavyweight in the booth.

Long gone are the days of 'Say So' and 'Woman', now she embraces a grittier, more powerful side of herself. With this album, she serves a resounding "fuck you" to the baseless critics & stans, proving that her reign as the rap princess is well-deserved.

This project steps away from the glossy pop veneer of her past work while preserving the trademark humor and infectious zest that define her sound.

With a whopping 17 tracks, this album propels us through exhilarating highs with songs like "Wet Vagina," "Ouchies," and "Shutcho," all while delving into smooth wavy masterpieces like "Agora Hills" and "Love Life." "Shutcho" shines as a potent anthem, as Doja Cat unapologetically silences the critics and embraces her authentic self.

'Scarlet' is rap-heavy with traces of classic Doja-pop sprinkled throughout. It's a stark departure from her previous commercial efforts, yet songs like "Paint the Town Red" are at the top of the charts, showcasing her enduring appeal. 

This year marks an era where Doja Cat seizes control of her narrative and image. She's not just another pop girl; 'Scarlet' solidifies her as the reigning rap princess, effortlessly holding her own in the booth. This album is raw, confident, and refreshingly authentic. Doja Cat's message of self-assuredness and resilience will leave you inspired and ready to flip the bird to the world.
