Doja Cat, the Grammy-winning artist, has ignited a frenzy among her fanbase with a cryptic tweet hinting at a forthcoming album. On Thursday night (Oct. 24), the “Paint The Town Red” singer posted a single word to X (formerly Twitter): “Album.” This succinct message, devoid of any further context, sent fans into a whirlwind of speculation and anticipation regarding her next musical project.
The tweet quickly went viral, amassing over 100,000 likes and numerous enthusiastic responses from fans. Many flooded her replies with wishlists for collaborations, with some suggesting artists like Ariana Grande and Playboi Carti. This simple word has confirmed to many that Doja Cat is entering a new album cycle, her first major release since the Scarlet 2 CLAUDE deluxe edition in May and the Scarlet album before that.
Released in September 2023, Doja Cat’s Scarlet album reached No. 4 on the Billboard 200 chart and No. 2 on the Top Rap Albums chart, demonstrating her continued commercial success. Speaking with Jack Harlow in an interview with Billboard, Doja Cat described Scarlet as an “angry project” focused on “anger and how it processes through my mind,” also noting themes of self-defense and self-love. This followed her critically acclaimed 2021 album Planet Her, which spawned numerous hits and solidified her position as a leading figure in contemporary music.
Adding to the collaborative speculation, BLACKPINK’s Lisa recently expressed her desire to collaborate with Doja Cat. “Doja Cat, for sure, is my next goal,” Lisa stated, highlighting the widespread appeal and respect Doja Cat commands within the music industry.
Beyond her studio work, Doja Cat remains active on the performance front. Just last month, she headlined the Global Citizen Festival in New York City, using her platform to advocate for global social justice. During her performance, she urged fans to speak out against injustices in regions like Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan, and Congo, showcasing her commitment to using her voice for broader issues beyond music.
As fans eagerly await more details about Doja Cat’s upcoming album, the single-word tweet has successfully generated significant buzz and confirmed that new music from the innovative artist is on the horizon. The anticipation surrounding her next project is a testament to her influence and the deep connection she has cultivated with her global audience.
