Mia Doly’s fourth album, *Barbieland*, masterfully blends urban pop, R&B, and trap, reaffirming her dominance after five years in the spotlight. The album opens with the moody “Fallin N Malibu,” where her chemistry with Judah sets an engaging tone. Tracks like “All Night” remind listeners of her lyrical sharpness, with standout lines like “keep these b*ches in the back no green screen.” “Perfect Day” showcases her wit with raunchy bars, while “Marching Bands” serves as a triumphant victory lap, highlighting her ability to craft memorable choruses. Collaborations in “Pink Barbies” and “Get Me Started” shine with charismatic verses from Kira and Mia Laurent. The second half delves into melodic rap, featuring introspective moments in “Holy Grail Interlude” and sultry tracks like “One and Only.” Closing with the nostalgic “Jump On It” and the title track, *Barbieland* solidifies Doly’s artistic control, presenting an instant classic rich in clever lyrics and dynamic production

  1.  Falling in Malibu ft. Judah Papi – 9/10
    The opening track sets the mood for the entire album. "Falling in Malibu" feels like a smooth, atmospheric ride through neon-lit nights, with Judah Papi’s melodic verses perfectly complementing Kash’s introspective flow. Their chemistry is palpable, making this track not just a song, but a vibe. Judah’s contribution adds an extra layer of richness, though it’s Kash’s presence that makes this a standout.

  2. All Night – 8/10
    "All Night" serves as a bold statement, with Kash reminding listeners and competitors alike of her staying power. The production is buoyant, riding on a trap beat that Kash attacks with precision. Lyrically, she’s sharp, delivering cutting lines like, “keep these bitches in the back, no green screen," a clever jab that shows her wit. It’s brimming with confidence, though the track doesn’t quite reach the heights of others on the album.

  3.  Perfect Day – 9/10
    Kash balances humor and aggression with standout lines like, "told him put it on cam, no Good Luck Charlie." Lyrically, she's in top form here.

  4.  Marching Bands ft. Cleo Braty – 10/10
    A fan favorite. Blazing production and commanding verses from Kash make this a triumphant victory lap. Cleo Braty’s feature is solid but doesn’t outshine Kash.

  5. Pink Barbies ft. Kira Jackson – 10/10
    An anthem of unapologetic confidence. Kira’s feature adds flair, but Kash steals the show with lines like, “bitch you wouldn’t be alive if my looks could kill.”

  6.  Get Me Started ft. Mia Laurent – 10/10
    Both Mias bring fire. The atmospheric trap beat and their dynamic back-and-forth make this one of the album’s strongest tracks.

  7. Holy Grail Interlude – 9/10
    A brief but emotional pause where Kash reflects on her journey, adding a personal touch to the album.

  8. One and Only – 10/10
    A sultry, R&B-infused standout. Kash blends hip-hop and melodic elements seamlessly, creating an album high point.

  9.  Jump In It – 9/10
    A fun, nostalgic track that shows Kash’s playful side, perfect for rounding out the album.

  10.  Barbieland – 8/10
    A fitting closer. Fun and energetic, though not as impactful as earlier tracks. Kash ends on a high, playful note.
