Nov 18, 2019Dlamini’s taking no chances here and, now that the smoke’s lifted, it’s clear she’s a pop contender with the nous and drive to go as far as she wants.

Nov 18, 2019Though there are moments where a new tone or inflection runs the risk that Doja might be mistaken for someone else, the album’s anchor in her R&B and soul background creates a tender space for her to stack and reveal her layers. Hot Pink doesn’t demand that Doja figure out the totality of her sound right now.

Nov 18, 2019What Hot Pink lacks in layers of ridiculousness expected from a Doja Cat album, it makes up for in its versatility. ... There’s no question that she’s in control throughout the record, even as the format reveals some weaknesses.
