Doja Cat Unleashes Her ‘Demons’ in Spooky New Video Starring Christina Ricci
variety.comDoja Cat is conquering her demons — and Christina Ricci’s — in the music video for her latest single “Demons.” Adorned in all-black, down to the tip of her razor-cut stilettos, Doja haunts Ricci (known for her 1991 spearheading role as Wednesday in “The Addams Family”) throughout “Demons.” After purchasing a new house with high hopes, Ricci’s family quickly learns that the home is haunted by a devilish creature — aka Doja Cat.
The track sees Doja trade in her pop sound that fans fell in love with on “Say So” for a more rap-centric aura, a shift she told Variety she’d be making with the upcoming album.
Of working on “Vegas,” which earned her a Grammy nomination for best rap performance, Doja raved about being able to “rap again” on the track. “I went in and I was like, ‘Finally, I get to rap again,’” she said. “A lot of people discredit me, so it’s nice to just put another one in the fucking bucket for a great rap song,” a coup she’s accomplished once again on “Demons.” “Demons” serves as the latest single of Doja’s forthcoming album “Scarlet,” which is set to drop on Sept.
22. It follows the previously released singles “Attention” and “Paint the Town Red,” with the former helping her garner five nominations at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards (including best video of the year and artist of the year), which she’s slated to perform at.
