Doja Cat is strutting her way to the release of her new album ‘Vie’ this Friday (September 26).

And her latest stop was CBS Sunday Mornings. 

During the insightful sit-down, the 29-year-old (born Amala Dlamini) opened up about the ‘Jealous Type’-led project, which bills as her return to Pop, how she defines herself artistically, protecting herself from dangerous coping mechanisms, growth, and more.

Full story below…

Speaking with host Michelle Miller, Doja shared:

On Her New Album ‘Vie’:

“I’m very excited. It’s things I wasn’t able to do before. I couldn’t hit certain riffs or runs – I used to joke about that and pretend to be a singer-singer. But I sucked it up and stopped joking and took myself more seriously.”

On The Project’s Sound:

“‘Vie’ feels like an evolved version of all of those things.” (Amala, Hot Pink, & Planet Her)”

On How She Defines Herself Musically:

“Pop. I think I’m a rapper who makes Pop music.

I’m a singer, a writer, a rapper, an artist, a creator, a world builder, and an OK businesswoman.”

On Protecting Herself:

“I’m protecting myself in a different way. I was doing things (before) that weren’t actually protective. Alcohol and things like that. They are a short-lived way of dealing with either anxiety or pain. So, I learned to steer myself.”

The interview comes ahead of the album’s release and the landing of its next single, ‘Gorgeous.’
