KATSEYE Enters New Travel Through Courage Shown In Gnarly
JAKARTA - KATSEYE made a slick debut by reaching the top position of Billboard Emerging Artists and Heatseers Albums through their inaugural EP SIS (Soft Is Strong) in 2024. Now they are back with the song "Gnarly" a track club full of energy with an 808 boom, a sharp synth-synth rate, and a full attitude of courage.
In their new work, KATSEYE describes how it feels to grow in the digital era as well as go into the public spotlight, producing a combination of excitement, fragility, and overstimulation. Always enjoying the duality of life, KATSEYE plays the dual meaning of the word "gnarly" and celebrates the fuzzy boundaries between the real and digital world.
The song was produced by Pink Slip, Tim Randolph, founder of HYBE "hitman" Bang, and Slow Rabbit. KATSEYE members hope to present another interesting side to fans.
"We want people to feel the vibes, really connected to our music. 'Gnarly' felt authentic for us dare, fun, and show a different side of what we are carrying. It's great to be able to share even more while continuing to grow with EYEKONS," referring to the group's loyal fandom.
KATSEYE is here to break the stereotypes, where they create their own path. This global girl group was the first to form with the K-pop system's high standards, but with a clear goal of breaking through cultural boundaries and creativity.
