Global girl group KATSEYE released their new single ‘Gabriela’ on June 20 at 1 PM KST (9:30 AM IST), along with a music video. A pre-release from their upcoming album ‘BEAUTIFUL CHAOS’, the track combines a smooth pop sound with Latin-inspired acoustic guitar, showing off the group’s vocal growth and unique style.
The song was co-produced by Grammy-winning producers Andrew Watt and John Ryan, with songwriting contributions from Ali Tamposi. The lyrics describe the emotional tension of a love triangle. Daniela’s verse in Spanish, notably, adds depth and emphasizes the group’s international identity.
The music video draws inspiration from Latin American telenovelas, and the six members play dramatic roles involving jealousy and romance. It also includes a special appearance by Hollywood actress Jessica Alba, adding a fun surprise for viewers.
One of the video’s most interesting features is its split-screen format. scenes switch between a vintage 4:3 VHS ‘drama’ look and modern 16:9 HD ‘reality’ shots. This creative contrast helps tell the story from two different angles, fictional and real-life.
KATSEYE’s previous single, ‘Gnarly,’ made it onto both the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK’s Official Singles Top 100. As a result, the group has gained growing attention in the global music scene.
KATSEYE’s upcoming album ‘BEAUTIFUL CHAOS’ will be released on June 27. It includes ‘Gabriela’ along with four other tracks, ‘Gnarly,’ ‘Gameboy,’ ‘Mean Girls,’ and ‘MIA.’
