KISS ME MORE

I’m super biased when it comes to all things Doja Cat but it’s undeniable that the “Moo” star has come a long way since her viral hit. Her latest single, “Kiss Me More” featuring SZA, showcases both performers’ talent, front and center. Sonically, the song is a lot like her hit “Say So”, very disco and light, but the video is what really sets it apart.

“Kiss Me More” is a literal out-of-this world production, taking place in a video game where Doja and SZA are giants on an all-women planet and Alex Landi plays the part of an Earthling astronaut discovering their world. Everything is pretty, soft, pink, and stereotypically female, but there’s a twist in the imagery—it’s actually a nod to Homer’s Odyssey and the two women are really sirens. The video ends with SZA and Doja Cat on their couch making fun of Landi’s character, saying “What’s the name of the planet? E-A-R-T-H?” 

I, like so many other fans, am feeling well fed after this song and video, but I also can’t wait for this summer when Doja Cat’s much anticipated album, “Planet Her” finally drops.
