With the start of the fall season blowing in on Saturday, so do the new music releases from top artists. Here are the some of most notable releases for the week of Sept. 22.
Doja Cat released Scarlet. Her rollout for the highly-anticipated project was, interesting, to say the least. She dissed her older songs as lazy attempts at pop, dissed her own fanbase as well as critics of her new look and choice of men to date. Doja Cat also began joking with online conspiracies about the biggest artists in music selling their souls to the devil. Her singles, especially “Demons,” and her performance at the VMAs made multiple references to Satan.
All chaotic promotion aside, the album is now out and Doja’s pure ability to rap, sing and make good songs appears to still be there. A vast contrast from past albums with multiple collaborators, this album has no features. Producers include Jay Versace and Earl on the Beat, while one song samples Uncle Luke.
On track 14 of 17, “Skull And Bones,” after making devil references at the beginning of the project, Doja raps the only thing she sold “was a record.”
Lil Tecca released TEC, a move initially thought of as brave from fans when Doja Cat and Drake were both supposed to release albums on Sept. 22. The project features Kodak Black and Ken Carson.
