Momentum around KATSEYE moves into its next phase with ‘Gabriela’ (KATSEYE with Young Miko Remix).
Fresh off a top five debut for ‘BEAUTIFUL CHAOS’ on the Billboard 200 and an instant sell out of the group’s first ever tour, the remix spotlights a new voice alongside the quintet. Rising artist Young Miko, hailed by Rolling Stone as “the Puerto Rican star everyone wants to work with”, steps in with a scintillating bilingual Spanish, English verse.
The original ‘Gabriela’ resonated quickly. Upon its release in June, it was voted No. 1 in Billboard’s favorite new music release of the week poll. Hailing the track as “a bold evolution in [KATSEYE’s] artistic direction.” HYPEBEAST said, “[The] track leans into a sultrier, more vocal-driven style — playing like a Gen Z take on ‘Jolene.’ Blending haunting synth-pop tunes with Latin-acoustics, the song creates a cinematic, genre-blurring atmosphere…showcasing a new side of KATSEYE’s artistry.”
On the road, demand has been immediate. ‘KATSEYE: The Beautiful Chaos Tour’ sold out on announcement, then added second shows in New York City, San Francisco and Los Angeles that also sold out. Beginning November 15, the headline itinerary travels across North America, from Toronto to Mexico City. 
Recent festival coverage adds context. NYLON praised KATSEYE’s “red-hot Lollapalooza debut.” Rolling Stone said, “The L.A.-based girl group ruled the stage on Sunday.” Cosmopolitan ranked their set among the festival’s top 5 and noted, “[KATSEYE’s] charisma carried through their stage presence effortlessly…Witnessing a sea of people sing songs like ‘Debut’ and bust out moves during ‘Gnarly’ was a cinematic experience.” The Korea Times observed, “KATSEYE brought theatrical flair and cross-cultural buzz.”
‘BEAUTIFUL CHAOS’, released via HYBE x Geffen Records, includes ‘Gnarly’, already at 100 million combined global streams, plus ‘Gameboy’, ‘Mean Girls’ and ‘M.I.A.’. The EP follows 2024 debut project ‘SIS (Soft Is Strong)’, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists and Heatseekers Albums charts.
