Doja Cat "Woman"
Courtesy PhotoDoja Cat continues to expand her Planet Her cinematic universe with a music video for “Woman,” released Friday (Dec. 3).
The video sees Doja assuming the role of a mythical creature to help queen of the kingdom — played by Teyana Taylor — regain control of the throne from the men trying to steal it away. Taylor conjures up Doja as a distraction to stop the men from taking over the kingdom with a series of sensual dance moves, hypnotizing gazes and outfits designed for a double take. The video concludes with Doja dressed as an earthy goddess, becoming one with a tree as her efforts prove to be successful.
Following the release of the video, Taylor shared stunning behind-the-scenes images of her and Doja Cat posing in their costumes from the shoot to her Instagram account, with Taylor in the queen’s regalia while Doja wears the costume of the mythical creature she plays.
“Woman” was the fourth single released from Planet Her on Oct. 1. Planet Her is proving to be a commercial success for Doja Cat, with the album hitting the No. 2 spot on the Billboard 200. “Kiss Me More,” featuring SZA, and “Need to Know” have both charted in the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Sharleen Spiteri joined BBC Radio 2’s The Sara Cox Breakfast Show ahead of Texas taking the stage to launch the main live music programme at Radio 2 in the Park in Stirling.
Checking in from rehearsals, the Texas frontwoman spoke about getting ready for the band’s opening performance at City Park. Radio 2’s annual flagship festival takes place there from 11 to 13 September 2026. "I’m match fit because I’ve had a couple of days’ rehearsals," Spiteri said. "We’re kicking the whole weekend off, which we’re very much looking forward to, so everybody’s got to get ready to party."
Before the live acts take over, Friday’s DJ Pre-Party gets the weekend started with Radio 2 favourites Sara Cox, DJ Spoony, Gary Davies, Michelle Visage, and Rylan behind the decks.
Jo Whiley helped set the mood with a special programme from Stirling’s Tolbooth venue. Working with BBC Introducing Scotland, the broadcast put the spotlight on Scotland’s emerging music scene through performances and conversations with Fright Years, Alice Faye, and James Emmanuel.
Fright Years, a four member band from Edinburgh, played "Never Been Wrong" and offered their take on Simple Minds’ "Waterfront." Glasgow singer and songwriter Alice Faye, the BBC Introducing in Scotland 2026 winner, paired "Some Brief Encounter" with a rendition of Lulu’s arrangement of "I Started a Joke." James Emmanuel, who was born in Nigeria and now lives in Edinburgh, sang "Brothers & Sisters" before taking on Chaka Khan’s "I’m Every Woman."
"We’re all about celebrating BBC Introducing and all the music that’s come out of Scotland," Whiley told listeners. "It's about celebrating the local music scene and the incredibly important work that BBC Introducing does to support independent, up-and-coming artists."
Joining the conversation were Stephanie Cheape, presenter of BBC Introducing in Scotland, Tara McLoughlin, venue manager for Stirling Council, and student radio presenters representing the University of Stirling’s Air3 Radio.
Listeners can catch the complete interviews and live performances from the weekend’s programmes on BBC Sounds.
