Doja Cat kept fans on the edge of their seats for the release of her next album. Though the artist shared a few updates over the past few months, she hasn’t announced concrete plans for its release. However, she’s provided fans with some tidbits of information surrounding the direction she’ll be heading. Doja Cat described her next project as more “masculine.” She further explained that she pulled inspiration from genre-bending artists and groups like Death Grips and The Beastie Boys.
“If you wanted a teaser into what I’ve been thinking about, that’s what I’ve been on a lot. And just to make it clear, Beastie Boys is a huge inspiration to me,” Doja Cat explained. “Beastie Boys will hit you with hard, loud and crazy rap, but they’ll also hit you with real raw 90s punk, which I love, or smooth techno that feels sexy and sleek. And you’ll be like, ‘Where the f*ck did this come from?’” Even though she also suggested the next project would lean towards pop-punk, she’s apparently changed her tune.
