The global girl group KATSEYE's new single 'Gabriela' and its music video were released on the 20th at 1 p.m.
'Gabriela' is a song that blends a sophisticated pop sound with Latin-inspired acoustic guitar, showcasing KATSEYE's sensual energy and more mature vocal abilities. This track boasts high musical quality, co-produced by Grammy-winning Andrew Watt and John Ryan, featuring contributions from globally recognized songwriters like Ali Tamposi.
The lyrics capture the tension of a love triangle with wit. KATSEYE explores ambivalence and curiosity about an alluring figure that appears before the lover with dreamy yet direct lyrics. In particular, Daniela's Spanish part maximizes the emotional trajectory of the song. This moment distinctly reaffirms their identity as a global group.
KATSEYE draws music fans into a vortex of irresistible charm through a music video that cleverly reinterprets the Telenovela.
The six members deliver a powerful performance as the protagonists caught in the center of jealousy and conflict in the music video. The struggle to prove 'who is Gabriela' features dramatic emotional acting, vivid colors, and dynamic camera work, culminating in a delightful and original piece. Additionally, the surprise appearance of Hollywood actress Jessica Alba adds vibrancy to the intriguing storyline.
The unique dual structure that oscillates between the world in the TV and reality is distinctive. In the 'drama' presented in a 4:3 aspect ratio with VHS quality, intense conflicts unfold, while in the high-definition 16:9 'reality', stage performances of popstar KATSEYE and behind-the-scenes moments from the drama capture the viewer's attention. In the latter part of the video, Gabriela's identity is revealed, providing a twist that captivates the audience.
KATSEYE demonstrated its presence in the global music market by entering the U.S. Billboard Main Songs Chart 'Hot 100' and the U.K. 'Official Singles Top 100' with their previous work 'Gnarly'. All eyes are on the group's next move as they showcase an expanded musical spectrum and different charms through 'Gabriela'.
On the 27th, KATSEYE's second EP 'BEAUTIFUL CHAOS' will be released. This EP will include a total of five tracks, including 'Gabriela', 'Gnarly', 'Gameboy', 'Mean Girls', and 'M.I.A'.
