Early reviews highlight an ’80s-styled sound shaped with Jack Antonoff, with some criticism of repetitiveness.

Overview

  • Released Sept. 26, the 15-track set leans into 1980s pop textures, with early reviews praising the pivot yet flagging repetitiveness, including a three-and-a-half-star AP rating.
  • SZA provides the album’s lone feature on “Take Me Dancing,” as Doja centers love and romance across the tracklist.
  • Doja said she crafted the record closely with producer Jack Antonoff, calling the collaboration personal in an Apple Music interview.
