GRAMMY award-winning global superstar Doja Cat releases her fifth studio album, Vie, out now via Kemosabe Records/ RCA Records.
Doja also unveils the music video for her new focus track, ‘Gorgeous’. The music video was directed and shot in New York City by Bardia Zeinali (Justin Bieber / Sabrina Carpenter) and including appearances by Yseult, Paloma Elsesser, Alex Consani, Irina Shayk, Amelia Gray, Ugbad, Ida Heiner, Mona Tougaard, Alek Wek, Karen Elson, Sora Choi, Imaan Hammam, amongst others.
On the release, Doja Cat states: “The French word “Vie” (translated in English: “life”) was a choice of wordplay by me starting with the simple fact that this is my 5th album. I wanted to stretch this from the roman numeral “five” tattoo on my collarbone. Five in numerology represents curiosity, adventure, and change. I chose Vie as a nod to La Vie en Rose and tied it together with the theme of romance and throughout this project I give my interpretation on love, sex, romance, pain, and wonder within a relationship. These songs can be pertained to the relationship with yourself or others.”
Listen to ‘Gorgeous’ on F1 Tracks.
Doja continues, “I feel strongly about the meaning of the word Vie because without life there is no love and without love there is no adventure. This is an adventurous album and with homages and nods to the 80’s, 70’s, and 90’s, I wanted to give my own personal modern twist.”
GRAMMY award-winning global superstar Doja Cat made her first upload to Soundcloud in 2013 at just 16 years old. Having grown up in and around the LA area, she developed a knack for music by studying piano and dance as a kid and listening to the likes of Busta Rhymes, Erykah Badu, Nicki Minaj, Drake, and more. Signed to Kemosabe/RCA Records in 2014, she released her Purrr! EP followed that with her debut album Amala in spring 2018, but it was her August 2018 release of ‘MOOO!’ which catapulted her into the mainstream and was met with critical acclaim.
With over 36 billion worldwide streams to date, Doja Cat’s creativity and showmanship as a performer have been praised time and time again, she has delivered unique and show-stopping performances on nearly all the major Award Show stages and music festivals throughout the world. Doja Cat’s GRAMMY award-winning album Planet Her came out in June 2021 and dominated the charts, debuting at #1 on the Billboard Top R&B Albums chart and #2 on the Billboard Top 200 and Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and generated the highest first day Spotify streams for an album by a female rapper.
Doja will make her musical debut on NBC’s Saturday Night Live for the Season 51 premiere, airing this Saturday (October 4).
