Doja Cat just released her fifth studio album, Vie, on September 26, and it’s already clear she’s changing up her sound. The project is heavily inspired by the 1980s, with bright beats, layered vocals, and throwback energy. The album pairs these nostalgic sounds with Doja’s signature mix of confidence, unpredictability, and her ability to surprise audiences with each new release.
The lead single, “Jealous Type,” reels listeners in with a polished hook and sets the tone for the project, while “Gorgeous” delivers cinematic visuals that merge fashion and art in striking ways. Both singles reflect Doja’s commitment to creating not only music but also complete visual and cultural moments. To celebrate the release, she hosted Club Vie, a livestream event with Apple Music. Recreating the look and feel of an ’80s nightclub, the event gave fans a first glimpse into the album’s style, aesthetic, and playful energy.

Next up is the Tour Ma Vie World Tour, which will take Doja across continents well into 2026. From elaborate stage design to immersive visuals, the tour promises to expand on the album’s themes and prove that this release isn’t just another project—it’s an experience crafted to engage audiences worldwide.
With Vie, Doja Cat cements herself as more than a chart-topper. She’s in full control of her career path, fusing nostalgia with fresh sounds, bold creativity, and a vision that sets her apart from her peers. For fans, this album isn’t just something to stream—it’s an invitation into Doja’s evolving world, where music, fashion, and art collide to create a cultural statement.
