It looks like Doja Cat is no longer sticking to her plans of releasing a “’90s German rave” album for her next project. The artist originally spoke to Matthew M Williams about her plans for her upcoming mixtape, hinting at a “rave kind of vibe.” Now, Doja has taken to Twitter to refute these claims.

In a series of tweets, the rapper backtracked on her statements of creating the rave album by announcing to her fans, “im not doing a german rave culture album you guys i was pranking the outlet that interviewed me about it.” She later continued to tweet that she will actually be doing an R&B album, but quickly claimed it was not true either. Doja continued her pranking street with yet another tweet claiming that she is working on “an experimental jazz album.”

Finally, she went on to tweet a voice note and announce “the truth” where fans can hear her say that her next album will in fact be a rock album. She said,

“I’m putting out an album and this time I’m being serious. I am putting out a rock album, it’s going to have emo jams. The name of the album is going to be called ‘Rock Out Volume One – The Abyss 5000’ so keep on the lookout for that.

I am entering a rock phase and I hope everyone enjoys it.”

There is no word on when Doja will release her next album.

In other music news, Mac DeMarco x Snail Mail have quietly released “A Cuckhold’s Refrain.”
