    With the liveliest songs bookending the album, though, the middle stretch of Planet Her gets swallowed in a celestial soup of midtempo R&B and trap trends like the pitched-down vocals on the narcotic “Been Like This.”

    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.

    While the pleasant-enough arrangements may make for an effective summer record, Planet Her lacks the originality Doja made her name on, and no amount of stunning and spacey visuals (as in the music video for “Need To Know”) can make the songs better than they are.

    Planet Her’s breezy approach also has its limitations. For all its relative brevity, it sags in the middle, thanks to a succession of insubstantial ballads that even a guest appearance from the Weeknd can’t rescue from tedium.

Her delivery on tracks like 'Get into it (Yuh)' & 'Imagine' sound sassy, I would say, which is great, it matches her energy. With a track 'Woman' she made a whole anthem about how women are important in our world, this song makes me feel empowered and puts in a good mood. My favorite track is 'Been Like This', it's an emotional masterpiece, Doja's last line on the bridge in the end sound unreal. This album definitely topped her previous one, I'm looking forward for what is next for Doja Cat.… Full Review »

    Planet Her once again proves Doja’s versatility. An excellent pop-rap-rnb album.
