Doja Cat just came through with a full vibe reset. Her new album, Vie, dropped on September 26, 2025, and let’s just say, it’s the type of project that makes you text your ex, sip wine with your girls, and dance in your room at 2am all in one night.
Gone is the hard shell of Scarlet. Vie is soft but not weak, romantic but not desperate. She’s in her “I’m grown but still fun” era and it shows.
Doja pulls heavy from 80s pop, funk, and synths, mixing in R&B moods and even a sprinkle of cinematic flair. Think roller rink meets luxury rooftop.
She teamed up with Jack Antonoff and other top-tier producers to pull off this blend. The beats are smooth, the transitions are clean, and the vocals? Velvety but sharp.

Here’s What You’ll Hear:
- Synths and saxes that make you feel like you’re in a retro movie montage
- Beats that bounce, but still let her lyrics breathe
- Genre bending, with no pressure to pick a lane; she’s doing it all
This ain’t just a love album. It’s about the real side of love — the confusion, the giddiness, the overthinking, the letting go.
Doja’s lyrics hit like screenshots from your text convos:
- “I was your ride or die till you forgot to ride”
- “Laughed at the thought of forever, now look who’s crying in the Uber”
It’s giving rom-com main character energy with a little edge. One minute you’re cheesin’, next minute you’re in your feels.
Vie is one of those albums that gets better with every spin. It’s cohesive but colorful, emotional but not sappy, and above all, it feels honest.
Doja’s showing growth without losing the playfulness we love her for. She’s not chasing trends, she’s setting moods. And Vie proves she’s still in full control of her sound, her message, and her era.
