Los Angeles' Doja Cat rose from a viral novelty track to being a mainstream superstar with her smooth, hypnotic R&B-flecked pop songs of sexuality, friendship, and personal power. She gained some significant buzz with her early releases, but it was her 2019 sophomore effort, Hot Pink, that took Doja Cat to the the top of the Hot 100. Subsequent charting singles and collaborations with SZA and Saweetie further solidified her star power, and made the arrival of her 2021 album Planet Her all the more hotly anticipated.
