Review
Doja Cat's second studio album, "Hot Pink," released in 2019, catapults her into a dazzling realm where pop, hip-hop, R&B, funk, and soul converge. Departing from her "Amala" era, this collection flaunts its versatility – sailing seamlessly from rap-disco grooves to electro-pop beats and even touching on emo rap. It's an eclectic musical journey that's as vibrant as its title suggests.
The album's remarkable adaptability is punctuated by the stellar production team, including Doja Cat herself, alongside heavy-hitters like Yeti Beats and Tyson Trax. Guest spots from Smino, Gucci Mane, and Tyga add layers of depth and variation to the tracks. A standout is undeniably "Say So," Doja’s first Billboard Hot 100 number-one hit, especially aided by the sizzling remix featuring Nicki Minaj.
Critics lavished "Hot Pink" with praise for its genre-blending brilliance, reflecting her evolution and willingness to push musical boundaries. Peaking at number nine on the US Billboard 200, this double platinum record echoed across the globe, climbing into the top 40 in countries like the UK, Australia, and Canada. "Hot Pink" not only highlights Doja Cat's dynamic presence in the music world but also cements her as a force of fearless experimentation. - Destiny
