The five-track EP is available now
Katseye has released their new EP, Beautiful Chaos, via Hybe x Geffen Records. The bold, five-song set explores the challenges of shaping meaningful identity in a digital age where reality is curated and authenticity fights the algorithm.
The follow-up to the group’s debut EP SIS (Soft Is Strong) – which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists and Heatseekers Albums charts in late 2024 – Beautiful Chaos includes Katseye’s new single, “Gameboy.” With its mix of cheeky lyrics and sugary textures, it’s easy to see why the group describes it as the big sister of “Touch,” a track from SIS.
Katseye – comprising Daniela (Cuban/Venezuelan-American, from Atlanta, GA), Lara (Indian, from New York, NY), Manon (Ghanaian-Italian, from Zurich, Switzerland), Megan (Chinese-American, from Honolulu, HI), Sophia (Manila, Philippines), and Yoonchae (Seoul, South Korea) – is celebrating the release of Beautiful Chaos with a tailgating event in Hollywood today (Fri, June 27th), in partnership with Urban Outfitters, and a sold-out album signing at Barnes & Noble at The Grove in Los Angeles tomorrow (Sat, June 28th).
After the world watched them compete and come together through Hybe and Geffen Records’ groundbreaking Dream Academy show and artist development program (and later, the Netflix docuseries, Pop Star Academy: Katseye), the idea of “beautiful chaos” felt oddly comforting to the group. Working with collaborators like Justin Tranter (Selena Gomez, Chappell Roan), Andrew Watt (Lady Gaga, Jungkook), John Ryan (Sabrina Carpenter), and Kristin Carpenter (Nessa Barrett, Jisoo), Katseye thrives in the tension between softness and strength, polish and raw power, precision and rebellion on the new EP.
