]]>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.

]]>This year’s headliners all had the pleasure of performing at Coachella in the past, and they’ll finally return as the main event! Doja Cat’s performance is the freshest in our memory, since she hit the stage in 2022, and brought out several guests, including Rico Nasty and Tyga.
The rest of the lineup is equally impressive, and it includes the likes of Ice Spice, Sublime, Grimes, Lil Uzi Vert, J Balvin, Peso Pluma, Reneé Rapp, Jhené Aiko, Victoria Monét, Deftones, Bizarrap, Bleachers, Bebe Rexha, Coi Leray, and Lil Yachty.
The upcoming Coachella will also mark the long-teased reunion of the ’90s pop-rock icons No Doubt. Gwen Stefani and the rest of the band went on their second hiatus in 2015, but they’ve been teasing their reunion for a while—and they finally made things official!
The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival will return to the desert over two weekends this spring, and it’s set to take place from April 12-14 and April 19-21.

]]>This virtual reality concert was filmed at the sold-out Detroit stop of Doja Cat’s debut arena tour, and here’s what we can expect from it, according to the official press release:
“VR concert will feature Doja’s most popular songs from The Scarlet Tour including ‘Paint the Town Red’, ‘Agora Hills’, ‘Woman’, and more. Experience the gigantic spider looming above Doja Cat during her performance and see the full band and fire pyrotechnics, right in your living room.”
Doja Cat isn’t the first rapper to partner up with Meta Horizon Worlds’ Music Valley for a virtual reality concert experience. Just last week, Jack Harlow announced he teamed up with Meta for Jack Harlow No Place Like Home: A VR Concert, filmed while he toured his home state of Kentucky.
Doja Cat: The Scarlet Tour in VR will premiere on January 20, on Meta Horizon Worlds’ Music Valley. The concert in Detroit was one of the last stops on the North American leg of the rapper’s The Scarlet Tour, which wrapped up back in December. She won’t go back to touring until June when she’s set to hit the road in Europe.

]]>In an expletive-rich story posted on her Instagram, Doja Cat said that she was “sorry” and that she was “really not happy” with her energy during The Scarlet Tour show.
“I’m so f–kin sorry New Jersey, I don’t know what the f–k that was. I’m really not happy with my energy tonight,” the 28-year-old singer wrote across a photo of crushed chips.
However, fans didn’t seem to share Doja Cat’s opinion. Replying to the screenshot of the story posted on fan account Scarlet Tour Updates, social media users who attended the concert said that it was a great show.
“WHAT IS SHE TALKIN BOUT THIS NIGHT WAS SO GOOD,” one user wrote.
“I was so happy to see her she did amazing,” another added.
Also, videos from the show indicate that everyone there had a great time.

]]>The post It’s Doja Cat Against the World on Her Edgy New Album “Scarlet” appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>It’s impossible to talk about Doja Cat’s new album without mentioning the controversy that shaped it. From trolling us about the album’s title and cover to receiving backlash for bashing her own music and telling fans she doesn’t love them, the Grammy-winning singer burned many bridges while trying to embrace her new alter ego.
Scarlet opens up strong, with previously released singles “Paint the Town Red” and “Demons” – and its opening track became Doja Cat’s biggest hit in recent memory for a reason. This catchy hip-hop banger perfectly captures what Scarlet is all about and it sees the Doja Cat firing back at her critics and making it clear she couldn’t care less.
Unfortunately, Scarlet never lives up to the hype of its two opening tracks and gets pretty repetitive as the songs go by. Despite her promise that she’ll go back to her hip-hop roots, Doja’s new album offers several slower, sensual tracks, such as the recent single “Agora Hills” and “Love Life”. They sound pretty tame in comparison to the rest of the tracks on this record, forcing Scarlet to lose some of its edge, while also making its sound more multifaceted.
Doja Cat’s versatility was always one of her strongest suits, and her decision to leave it behind makes Scarlet her most divisive album yet. It’s certainly a provocative and bold piece of work that perfectly reflects who she is at this point in time, but it’s too long and jumbled to fully get its point across.

]]>The post Doja Cat Tops Billboard Hot 100 With “Paint the Town Red” appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>“Paint the Town Red” climbed to No. 1 after drawing 32.1 million radio airplay audience impressions, 27.7 million streams, and 8,000 downloads during its latest week on the chart. This is quite an impressive achievement, considering this song initially only debuted at No. 15 following its release on August 4.
Seeing “Paint the Town Red” climb to the top isn’t a shocker considering it set several Spotify records since its release. It became the first solo female rap song in Spotify history to top the platform’s US Top 50 chart and the fastest to amass 100 million streams on this platform.
“Paint the Town Red” also single-handily broke hip-hop’s Hot 100 drought, becoming the first rap song in over a year to top the chart, since Nicki Minaj’s “Super Freaky Girl” in August last year.
“Paint the Town Red” will be featured on Doja Cat’s upcoming fourth studio album Scarlet, set to be released on September 22 via Kemosabe and RCA Records.

]]>Doja Cat officially announced that her next album Scarlet will be released later this month, and she dropped another single ahead of its release. She unleashed her dark side in the new single “Demons”, and its wild music video features none other than Christina Ricci.
It was also an amazing week for Nicki Minaj, who put her vocal abilities on full display in the new single “Last Time I Saw You”. She used this song to tease the release of her fifth studio album Pink Friday 2, set to come out later this fall.
The rest of our list features an interesting mix of different genres, ranging from pop and R&B to rock. Royal Blood and Måneskin made it to our list with their latest singles, Jorja Smith impressed us with her new song “Falling or Flying”, while Rod Wave made waves with “Come See Me”.

]]>Crafted by artist Dusty Ray, Doja Cat’s latest album cover is pretty minimalistic, and it simply shows a crimson spider on a white background. The hip-hop star confirmed her new album will be out on September 22, and she already gave us a taste of things to come with several songs.
“Attention” was released as the album’s first single, but its follow-up “Paint the Town Red” created much more buzz. It peaked at no. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart just this week, and made Spotify history as the first-ever solo female rap song to top the US Top 50 chart, according to Chart Data.
Doja Cat is gearing up to drop another single this week, titled “Demons”. She’ll celebrate the album’s release by embarking on The Scarlet Tour across North America this fall. The tour includes a total of 24 dates in the United States and Canada, and she’ll be supported by Ice Spice and Doechii on the road.
