The Recording Process

“I’m always kind of winging it,” she told MTV about her recording process back in August. “But I have my album coming. I can’t say when. But that’s pretty much it. I really want to make it a surprise. I don’t want to say too much. It’s very similar to Hot Pink in the sense that each of the songs do have their own personality to them, and sound. It’s not gonna be perfectly consistent. I’ve never been anyway. But I definitely wanted to kind of have fun and just do that again.”

During the interview, Doja broke down some of the genre inspirations. “We have some dancehall stuff on there, and some afrobeats stuff. We have some funk, house kinda stuff,” she said. “I’m trying to cover all bases is what I’m saying. I’m having a lot of fun doing this album and I can’t wait for people to hear it and I think my fans are excited.”

Doja later appeared on the cover of Billboard, where she discussed the project in further detail.

“I think in the beginning, I was just trying to be solid and be what a pop artist already was: what I’d seen on TV and what I thought was the right thing to do,” she said. “But as I move on into this Planet Her era, I want to introduce things to people as opposed to just re-create and rehash. It’s just more inspiring to start from a more innovative spot.”

The magazine cities “high-femme futurism” as one of the project’s main inspiration. “My worry was that other people have done that, from Lady Gaga with Chromatica to Beyoncé wearing the metal Thierry Mugler robot pieces—we’ve all seen futurism,” said her creative director Brett Alan Nelson. “But we’re doing a style of futurism that feels fresh. We don’t know what our actual future holds, so we are making what Doja Cat’s future is. It doesn’t feel like we’re paying homage to something; it doesn’t seem like we’re on the same Pinterest board as everyone else.”
