The Curation of a Doll represents a pivotal moment for Shmoneydoll as she embraces her place in the music industry.
“This EP is for my dolls—the ones who break free from the mould and take ownership of their story. When I first dipped my toes into music, I was still searching for my sound and my space in this art form. I’ve battled with self-doubt but I’ve come to realise that my journey is about my worth to myself. Until I do that, every other narrative is just background noise. That’s why ‘The Curation of a Doll’ marks a full-circle moment for me, it is all about embracing my power and identity as a rapper and celebrating my craft“ – Shmoney Doll
With a hard-hitting beat, the first track Personal Vendetta is about releasing and reclaiming your story. Through the lyrics, Shmoneydoll explores the journey of taking control of her narrative. On the next track, Trailblaze, Shmoneydoll reflects on accountability and pride over a bass-driven trap beat. Closing the EP, Think Pink is a joyous, feel-good anthem that taps into the celebratory side of life. Shmoneydoll channels nostalgic Nicki Minaj 2016 vibes to create a track that invites listeners to celebrate growth and self-love.
This EP reflects Shmoneydoll’s journey as a rapper and as an individual, as each track tells a different part of her story. The Curation of a Doll captures this pivotal moment of embracing her full identity as an artist but is also just one piece of a larger artistic vision.
“This whole process was a journey, and I feel like every song captures a different side of me. It was chaotic, but it was real,I started this project uncertain, and now I’m standing tall, owning my craft. I’ve been making music for three years now, but this is the first time I’ve truly felt at home in my sound.”
