It’s been a few months since the release of Doja Cat’s latest album Scarlet, and she’s getting ready to revisit the world she created on this record. The hip-hop star announced its deluxe edition Scarlet 2 Claude Frollo, set to hit the shelves later this week.
Scarlet 2 Claude Frollo is named after the antagonist of Victor Hugo’s iconic novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and she chose this title for a reason.
“I feel like it connects to the story of Scarlet in some way, and if you look up his personality traits and who he is and his story, you’ll understand the whole connection… It’s like a metaphor for the people that creatives endure on a daily basis in a bigger picture, a bigger scale,” she explained in a statement.
Scarlet 2 Claude Frollo will be released on April 5, and it will be supported by the lead single “Masc”. The album will feature six more songs that didn’t make it to the standard edition, including “Acknowledge Me,” “Head High,” “Gang,” “Rider,” “Urrrge”, and “Hungry.”
Scarlet originally came out last September and it saw Doja Cat abandon her commercial pop sound to embrace hip-hop and R&B. It produced hit singles “Paint the Town Red” and “Agora Hills”, which both made it to the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
