Doja Cat is one of the most musically diverse artists out there these days, and she plans on continuing that reputation with her next album.
In a new interview with CR Fashionbook, the singer was asked to drop some hints about her next musical era.
"We just have so many ideas and making those ideas consistent is the challenge right now. I can’t really tell much," she began.
But she did reveal that she's "very into this ’90s German rave kind of vibe right now and it’s really fun."

Doja Cat has previously dabbled in other styles of music such as pop punk/emo with her over of Hole's "Celebrity Skin" and is known for her genre-bending music that transcends R&B, pop, and rap.
Although she's been categorized as a rapper, some have said they don't consider her one, like Remy Ma in an April 2022 interview.
"[The Grammy committee] put her in the rapper category, and I don’t think she’s a rapper," she said of Doja Cat.
While many of her biggest hits are pop songs, Doja Cat rose to fame through her rap skills and was known in LA's underground rap scene.
Basically, Doja Cat just does it all.
Stylistically, Doja also recently dove into a new aesthetic with her hair and makeup when she shaved her head and eyebrows. Apparently, it's all connected.
"I loved that stuff as a kid and now that I can express it (obviously, I couldn’t buzz my head and wear a furry bra and have a belly button piercing back then), I’m sort of embracing that," she said of the crossover between her current personal style and her new music.
The news comes after a series of tweets in March in which Doja claimed to be quitting music.
"I f—in quit I can’t wait to f—ing disappear," she said at the time. "Everything is dead to me, music is dead. This is a f—ing nightmare."
But, she confirmed in her interview that her words were " a hint to the album," and described it as "rave culture, not house," and said that she's "actually building a studio right now" in her house.
