Planet Her has no skips, not even the previously released singles. It showcases many sides to Doja but remains cohesive — if you don't consume it in its entirety, you'll definitely miss out on truly understanding her world.
A record so fizzy and golden that its release the same week of the summer equinox hardly seems like a coincidence.
Throughout this intoxicating third album, the artist born Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini pivots effortlessly between deceptively sweet singing ... and fierce, filter-free rapping ... It’s a breezy affair, 14 tracks fly by in under 45 minutes and that gives Doja an ample opportunity to show off her range.
Doja Cat tries something new with almost every orbit on Planet Her. When the production magic keeps up with her boundless spirit, the songs reach a unique hotspot of fun and infectiousness.
Of all current pop stars, Doja Cat is the one to unite her naturally ‘casual’ image with that of Afro-futurism, composing ‘space-age’ music on her third album Planet Her.
‘Planet Her’ is certain to be all over the internet faster than you can say “Bitch, I’m a cow”, but whether the record’s legacy will hold past the next trend cycle is not quite written in the stars.
A chaotic, unpredictable, and ridiculously entertaining compendium.
The record, much like its creator, is resilient and convincing enough to withstand more than a gentle gust – on Planet Pop 2021, anyway.
Overall, Planet Her is less of a sci-fi concept album and more an exploration of new genres for the star, offering up beautiful music videos and album artwork, but losing its promised intergalactic concept completely.
Planet Her is a passable collection of pop songs, but as a part of the Doja Cat universe, it’s unrepresentative of her bold, charismatic personality.
It’s smart at points, silly at others, often musically unremarkable, occasionally pure pop gold and easily listenable without providing significant satisfaction for more than ten to fifteen minutes after the act of consumption.
Unfortunately, on Planet Her, Doja Cat throws what she knows to the wayside, opting to dive into the crystalline pool of predictable pop sounds.
Outside of its strong first leg and closing lead single, Planet Her lacks as a showcase for Doja Cat's personality.
It’s a high-budget chart album in every sense, often to its detriment.
Planet Her tem um problema muito específico: ele não funciona.
Suas músicas não funcionam, sua ideia não funciona, sua execução é um desastre. De toda essa geração de artistas em ascensão impulsionados pelo TikTok, Doja Cat é uma das mais limitadas e sem o menor sentido artístico. Seu grande hit "Say So" provou de uma fórmula de sucesso que não pode ser replicada e, infelizmente, ... read more
While this is mostly on the level of Hot Pink, and while it may be more consistent and have fewer low points, it just doesn’t have as many highlights or as much personality, and ends up being a little generic and disappointing as a result.
Doja Cat had a huge 2020, as Say So was a monster hit, she had major collaborations with artists like Ariana Grande & The Weeknd, and she got multiple Grammy nominations. I also really liked her album, and also loved her “Tia Tamera” ... read more
With as many amazing pop songs are on this album I have to say Planet Her managed to have everything and still fall flat on its face. How are Woman, Kiss Me More, and You Right all on a mediocre album? That's wild. I would argue this album takes the sound from Hot Pink and removes too much of it, it strips her personality and style for a sound that comes closer to Amala then Hot Pink. I don't mind this sound when it is good, but a majority of this project isn't that and is instead fine to ... read more
