The World Thought This Pop Superstar Was Over, But She Actually Just Broke a Record

Genre-bending superstarDoja Catis no stranger to controversy. She’s continually pushed the envelope, refusing to dilute her artistic vision for the sake of palatability. However, it was during the 2023 rollout of Scarlet, her fourth studio album, that many found there to be no coming back for the artist. They attested its “demonic themes,” her brash pivot in stylistic expression, and departure from pop hits. She found herself amid several disputes with fans via social media, who wanted the songstress to return to her hyper-feminine “Say So” roots. Finding her energy during the era to be “aggressive” and “off-putting,” audiences quickly labeled her done for.
