KATSEYE’s New EP, Beautiful Chaos, Is Out Now
Today, KATSEYE 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. As Rolling Stone noted in this feature, “With Beautiful Chaos, the group proves that their strong friendship and shining individuality is here to stay.…Beautiful Chaos shows off the diversity in their styles and vocal versatility.” Listen to BEAUTIFUL CHAOS here. See below for track listing.
The follow-up to the group’s debut EP SIS (Soft Is Strong) – which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’sEmerging 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. Listen to “Gameboy,” which was produced by KillaGraham. View the official video here.
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, in partnership with Urban Outfitters, and a sold-out album signing at Barnes & Noble at The Grove in Los Angeles tomorrow, June 28.
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.
Highlights include the anthemic “Mean Girls,” which chooses grace over drama, and “M.I.A,” which serves up high energy with a hard-hitting beat — a fitting backdrop for asserting one’s self-worth. Lead single “Gnarly,” which has amassed 100 million combined global streams, was hailed as a “hyper pop doozy” contender for “song of the summer 2025” by The FADER. KATSEYE performed “Gnarly” at last week’s 2025 Kids Choice Awards. A remix of “Gnarly” with Ice Spice earned a spot on Rolling Stone’s Songs You Need to Know playlist.
Released last week, “Gabriela” earned praise from HYPEBEAST, which noted, “Blending haunting synth-pop tunes with Latin-acoustics, the song creates a cinematic, genre-blurring atmosphere. With a hypnotic hook, layered harmonies, and emotionally charged lyrics, it explores themes of obsession, identity, and envy — showcasing a new side of KATSEYE’s artistry.” The official video for “Gabriela,” which stars Jessica Alba, racked up over 10 million views in the first three days of release and quickly ranked #1 on Trending for music on YouTube. Teen Vogue – which featured KATSEYE on the cover of its May-June issue – observed, “Visuals have been an essential part of KATSEYE‘s success, and that success is driven by the band’s authenticity — both in their work and their wardrobes.”
PAPER observed, “[Beautiful Chaos] is an encapsulation of the group’s buzzing energy, a messy distillation of the first-of-its-kind girl group… KATSEYE are ready to lean into their own distinct POV. There is no set road map for this group…” Wonderland declared, “They’re taking over the pop- world…”

ADÉLA Announces First North American Headlining Run With ‘The Red Bottoms Tour’
Rising pop artist ADÉLA is officially stepping into headliner territory. The singer announced her first-ever North American headlining trek, dubbed The Red Bottoms Tour, set to kick off later this year.
The tour arrives in support of her debut EP, The Provocateur, which was released in 2025 through Capitol Records. The project introduced listeners to ADÉLA’s dramatic, sleek pop sound, with songs pulling from her own experiences chasing success in the music industry. Across the EP, she explores themes of ambition, betrayal, and exploitation, wrapped in glossy production and larger-than-life storytelling.
The Red Bottoms Tour begins on September 9 in Detroit before making stops across North America, including Toronto, Montreal, Boston, Washington D.C., Brooklyn, Nashville, Atlanta, Austin, Dallas, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Salt Lake City, Denver, Phoenix, and Los Angeles. The run will wrap with two shows in Mexico City on October 15 and 16. A London date is slated for August ahead of the North American leg.
The announcement lands just one day after ADÉLA wrapped her supporting run on Demi Lovato’s It’s Not That Deep Tour. The Slovak-born singer has spent the last year steadily building momentum after first gaining attention through Dream Academy, the competition series that later launched the girl group KATSEYE.
Earlier this year, ADÉLA released the single KGB, which quickly picked up traction online. Fans attending Lovato’s tour were also treated to previews of unreleased material, adding more anticipation around what may come next from the 22-year-old artist.
Since releasing The Provocateur, ADÉLA has earned praise from outlets including Vogue, The FADER, Interview Magazine, and PAPER Magazine. Her early solo performances in London, New York, and Los Angeles quickly sold out, hinting at the growing audience behind her dark-pop aesthetic and sharp stage presence.
Artist presale tickets become available Wednesday, May 27 at 10 a.m. local time through ADÉLA’s official website. General ticket sales begin Friday, May 29 at 10 a.m. local time through Ticketmaster.

Sébastien Tellier Announces First North American Tour in Over a Decade
French electronic artist Sébastien Tellier is heading back to North America for his first run of U.S. and Canadian shows since 2014. The tour arrives after the release of his latest album, Kiss The Beast, and follows a string of sold-out performances across Europe, including major stops at Paris’ Olympia and London’s KOKO.
The newly announced dates kick off this fall and include headline shows in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, along with an appearance at CRSSD Festival in San Diego and several dates in Mexico. Tickets go on sale Thursday, May 28th at 10 a.m. local time.
A longtime staple of the French Touch movement, Tellier recently teamed up with David Guetta for the single “Thrill of the Night,” featuring Slayyyter and Nile Rodgers. The track has quickly climbed the UK club charts, giving Tellier another unexpected late-night anthem to add to his catalog.
Kiss The Beast sees Tellier pulling together a wide mix of collaborators, including Kid Cudi, producer SebastiAn, composer Victor Le Masne, and arranger Owen Pallett. The record leans heavily into lush pop arrangements, glossy electronic textures, and Tellier’s usual mix of sincerity and absurdity.
Since releasing Domesticated in 2020, Tellier has stayed busy with film soundtrack work, production credits for other artists, and a pair of EP releases. He also delivered a widely praised performance of “La Ritournelle” during the opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Paralympics opening ceremony in Paris.
Over the years, Tellier has built a cult following through songs like “Divine,” “Roche,” “Fantino,” and “L’amour et la violence,” blending disco, synth-pop, soft rock, and electronic music into a style that has always felt slightly strange in the best way possible. His signature look, long hair, dark sunglasses, and full-bearded mystique, has made him just as recognizable in fashion circles as in music.
