KATSEYE dropped “Gabriela,” the second single from their forthcoming EP, BEAUTIFUL CHAOS, which is set for June 27 release. “Gabriela” plays like a Gen Z “Jolene” — a side-eye warning wrapped in hip-swaying rhythms — and features the group’s first Spanish verse, which is delivered by Daniela, who is a first-generation Latina American.
In the official video for ‘Gabriela,’ which stars Jessica Alba, KATSEYE pays tribute to telenovelas, a beloved cornerstone of Latino culture.” Alba plays the high-powered CEO of Gabriela Enterprises. When she announces she’s searching for a successor to take over the reins of her company, the boardroom erupts into chaos as each member of KATSEYE tries to claw their way to the top. Directed by Andrew Thomas Huang (Björk, FKA Twigs) the video made its broadcast premiere on MTV Live, MTVU, MTV Biggest Pop and on the Paramount Times Square billboards.
“Our music video for ‘Gabriela’ is vibrant, colourful, dramatic, and full of heart,” explains KATSEYE. “We leaned into the world of telenovelas because they’re iconic and over-the-top in the best possible way – from the acting to hair and wardrobe. We tried to honour that spirit while having fun with the concept. It’s all love, all homage, and definitely all drama!”
KATSEYE debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists and Heatseekers Albums charts with their first EP, SIS (Soft Is Strong), in late 2024. On their new EP, BEAUTIFUL CHAOS, the group explores the complexities of modern girlhood and how the real and digital worlds often blur. PAPER observed, “[Beautiful Chaos] is an encapsulation of the group’s buzzing energy, a messy distillation of the first-of-its-kind girl group…KATSEYE are ready to lean into their own distinct POV. There is no set road map for this group…” Wonderland declared, “They’re taking over the pop world…” Pre-order / pre-save HERE.
