Sep 26, 2025A record that reinforces that Doja doesn’t need to fit into one box to become the artist she’s meant to be. It’s a notion that she herself seems to have come to terms with, however trying (or public) it may have been, and “Vie” is all the better for it.
-
Sep 29, 2025‘Vie’ proves that Doja Cat remains pop’s ultimate shapeshifter, offering an album that moves, seduces and entertains on its own terms.
-
Oct 8, 2025Mixing 1980s pop and R&B on Vie, Doja remains an elusive, genre-bending savant. The record’s standout tracks fully embrace 1980s synthpop.
-
Sep 29, 2025Vie is a transitional record, yes, but its ambitious reach also makes it a necessary one. In its best moments, the album shows us that Doja Cat is at her most compelling when she stops trying to define herself, and instead allows her music to contain all her contradictions at once.
-
Oct 1, 2025If Scarlet was the firestorm, Vie is the afterglow: still flickering, still restless, but finally willing to show the cracks that make the light come through.
-
Oct 9, 2025Her flow can often be propulsive and deadly, and every so often, she strikes gold (“All Mine” and “AAAHH MEN!”). Even something like “Jealous Type”, one of Vie’s least cohesive mash of rap and pop, gets the job done.
-
Sep 26, 2025Doja’s music is best when she strikes a balance between hip-hop and pop, between hard and soft. But Vie sets up camp (pun intended) in the latter, and its conception of the ’80s is largely defined by thin beats, squelchy synths, and distant sax noodling.
