“Planet Her,” the album Doja Cat released in June, is a commercial juggernaut with five tracks that have each racked up more than 100 million streams on Spotify.
Now he’s on the verge of an unlikely crossover smash.
PEPSI MAN JOJO OFFLINE
Nearly a decade after the earliest of those tunes began to gain traction, Doja Cat, 25, has moved from the digital realm to the wider offline world.Ĭan’t get that dang Applebee’s song out of your head? How ‘Fancy Like’ took over TikTok and TVĬountry singer Walker Hayes was a journeyman until a song about a date night at a chain restaurant. But watching Doja Cat carefully project an image of herself through her and Dave’s screens ends up suiting an artist who, more than any of her A-list peers, feels like a product of the internet - of its chat rooms and social-media platforms and of the streaming services that first allowed her to reach an audience as a teenager posting homemade songs from her bedroom in Los Angeles. We never actually see the two meet in the flesh, thanks to a characteristic bungle by the show’s protagonist.
PEPSI MAN JOJO SERIES
Playing herself in a recent episode of “Dave” - the acclaimed FX series based on the life of the comedic hip-hop star Dave Burd (who records as Lil Dicky) - the happily eccentric rapper and singer strikes up a flirty text-message relationship with Dave after they match on an invite-only dating app. It says a lot about Doja Cat that she spends much of her first big acting role staring at her phone.
