Doja Cat has unleashed ‘Scarlet’ – her fourth album.
Led by the chart-topping ‘Paint The Town Red’ the album sees Doja flexing her nine lives with some of most personal tracks.
That Grape Juice has been spinning the LP since its release. Join us below to find out which five tracks are essential on ‘Scarlet.’
5. Attention
The first promotional single for ‘Scarlet’ does exactly what its name says and grabs the attention of the listener from the first bars.
**********
4. 97
One of the album’s forays into jazz rap, ’97’ features a Snoop Dog-like hook and finds Doja at home with the sound.
**********
3. Paint The Town Red
Sampling Dionne Warwick’s ‘Walk On By’ was a smart move for Doja Cat, because the finger snap beat fits right in with her flow as she flexes her fame and the obstacles it took to get there.
**********
2. Wet Vagina
Speaking of Doja Cat flexing her fame and status, there is no other track on ‘Scarlet’ that is as braggadocios as ‘Wet Vagina’ Make not mistake, while there is plenty of bragging, Doja infuses plenty of humor and the combination sets her apart from her contemporaries.
**********
1. Agora Hills
The most recent single from ‘Scarlet’ is the album’s most accessible and best track. From its pop accessibility and singing chorus, Doja perfectly straddles the worlds of pop and rap to a masterful result.

Do you agree with our picks?
It’s good that you’ve done this. Lately you’ve been only doing it for certain artists.
My current top 5
Paint the town red
Agora hills
Ftg
Gun
Go off
FYI I think all the rap girls brag in their own way. If you’re a true artist then you can’t write about things you genuinely haven’t been through. It’s stupid and inauthentic. Some rappers choose to stay in the present and some in the past. So when you write articles forget the comparisons and focus on there music only; without the subliminals.
This album FLOPPED HARD 💀 and y’all called QUEEN a flop 😂😂😂 Nicki did over 100k pure sales her last album. Who’s washed?
Meanwhile Last Time I Charted fumbled off the charts after 3 weeks. I think u worried bout the wrong thing fffaagggooot.
Flop
I like the album but some of the lyrics in the middle don’t really connect to the concept she was selling… but the beats and production are great throughout!

I listened to Scarlet for the first time while working out & the album has some gems and mids. The gems far outweigh the mids though and I say mids because some of the lyrics are just silly. But the production and great and conceptually it’s fire. Doja is here to stay frfr.
What y’all are missing out on is balut one of my favorites on scarlet but 5 attention 4 paint the town red 3 agora hills 2 balut 1 97 those are my 5 favorites on scarlet
This is definitely a great album. I definitely wish it had higher first week sales!
My top 5 in no particular order would be “Paint The Town Red”, “Ouchies”, “Gun”, “Often”, and “Love Life”.
