Doja Cat Returns to Pop as Fifth Album ‘Vie’ Arrives

Produced largely with Jack Antonoff, the 15‑song set pivots to glossy 1980s pop with SZA as the lone guest.

Overview

  • The album was released Sept. 26 with 15 tracks that lean into synths, sax and funk textures anchored by the lead single “Jealous Type.”
  • Early reviews from outlets including Variety, the Associated Press and Rolling Stone praise the playful ’80s homage and Doja Cat’s pop‑rap agility while noting some repetitiveness and uneven pacing.
  • Promotion includes a high‑profile VMAs performance of “Jealous Type” with Kenny G and the release of a new “Gorgeous” music video alongside the album.
  • Doja Cat will support the project with the Ma Vie World Tour’s announced dates in Asia, New Zealand and Australia, plus a scheduled Saturday Night Live appearance on Oct. 4.
  • Some publications cite record‑setting or solo‑writing milestones for Vie, though those claims currently appear in limited reporting and have not been widely corroborated.
