Three major female divas released new albums this past Friday. One would assume that it’s three pop artists battling up against the music for the top spot, huh? If it were 2021, then yes, but the ever-evolving superstar Doja Cat, released an outstanding rap album this go around. Scarlet showcases her rap chops and every song is literally talking shit to all the piranha’s sucking the life out of Doja. Except for Can’t Wait, a love song and an ode to a lover; what a super sweet song and a softer side of her we don’t normally hear. She’ll be in Denver on November 10th performing at Ball Arena.

Doja Cat, Kylie Minogue and Kim Petras are all divas in their own right, but who takes the top spot and whose album is the most fire? Lets briefly explore how three different, talented women battle for the coveted number one album announcement this Friday and who deserves it.

You probably say so that I’ve already given my opinion as Miss Doja taking the crown, but not quite. I said it was an outstanding rap album, not the best, yet. Kylie Minogue, an icon in her own right and a dancing queen diva, released Tension, a non-stop disco-pop party album. It’s not any different than what she’s put out in most of her albums previously and it’s just sadly boring. Lead single, Padam, alluded to the fact that Minogue might actually branch out and give us a tense album full of new creativity and new sounds, but it doesn’t. It’s extremely repetitive as most of the tracks sound the same. It’s ridiculously forgettable and nothing inventive, unfortunately.

Kim Petras, who many now know her from Sam Smith’s number one hit Unholy, released another album called Problematique. This is just months after another full album of hers named Feed the Beast, was released in June of 2023; kudos to her for ambition. If y’all didn’t know, Petra’s is transexual and transitioned at an early age. As a role model to the LGBTQ+ community, Kim realized he was born in a woman’s body and actually had the balls (pun intended) to do something about it. Then she embarked on a singing career and now is a Grammy award winning artist. Just like Kylie’s new album Tension, Petra’s Problematique, is annoyingly repetitive and almost every song feeds off the other. Petras is unbelievably remarkable and is uber talented, though.

As I am rereading this article, I was like do I need to do three separate paragraphs elaborately critiquing each album? And are the albums bad? Nah. While Kylie, Kim and Doja do all have similar sounding songs on each of their new releases, they can be catchy, even smart at times. Since Doja Cat acknowledges her rap roots and absolutely kills it, Scarlet is the best in my opinion. Plus the writing, which is all hers, is quite something. Keep evolving and producing, Miss Cat.
