KATSEYE’S New Single, “Gabriela,” Is Out Now
Today, KATSEYE dropped “Gabriela,” the second single from their forthcoming EP, BEAUTIFUL CHAOS, which is set for June 27 release via HYBE x Geffen Records. “Gabriela” plays like a Gen Z “Jolene” — a side-eye warning wrapped in hip-swaying rhythms — and features the group’s first Spanish verse, which is delivered by Daniela, who is a first-generation Latina American. Andrew Watt (Lady Gaga, Jungkook) and John Ryan (Sabrina Carpenter) produced. Listen to “Gabriela” HERE.
“In the official video for “Gabriela,” which stars Jessica Alba, KATESEYE pays tribute to telenovelas, a beloved cornerstone of Latino culture.” Alba plays the high-powered CEO of Gabriela Enterprises. When she announces she’s searching for a successor to take over the reins of her company, the boardroom erupts into chaos as each member of KATSEYE tries to claw their way to the top. Directed by Andrew Thomas Huang (Björk, FKA Twigs) the video made its broadcast premiere on MTV Live, MTVU, MTV Biggest Pop and on the Paramount Times Square billboards. Watch the drama unfold HERE.
“Our music video for ‘Gabriela’ is vibrant, colorful, dramatic, and full of heart,” explains KATSEYE. “We leaned into the world of telenovelas because they’re iconic and over-the-top in the best possible way – from the acting to hair and wardrobe. We tried to honor that spirit while having fun with the concept. It’s all love, all homage, and definitely all drama!”
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) – will perform “Gnarly,” the EP’s first single, at the 2025 Kids Choice Awards tomorrow, June 20. “Gnarly” has already amassed over 100 million combined global streams. “There has not been a KATSEYE song like this before…It’s abrasive, camp, totally chaotic,” said The FADER, which later named the track as a contender for “song of the summer 2025.”
The group’s “Gnarly” remixes – one with Ice Spice and a second with Lara of KATSEYE, Lancey Foux, and Slush Puppy – have also won acclaim, including an appearance on Rolling Stone’sSongs You Need to Know playlist. Billboard declared, “KATSEYE Heats Up ‘Gnarly’ Summer with Ice Spice Remix.”

OCTANE is an immersive, cinematic body of work rooted in Don Toliver’s signature melodic, experimental trap-R&B culminating into big moments on tracks like”Body” which has already reached Spotify and Apple Music’s Top 5. Executive-produced by Toliver, with production from longtime collaborator Derek “206DEREK” Anderson, the album captures his creative energy in real time and marks a personal milestone, with Toliver producing three tracks himself: “ATM,” “Rendezvous,” and “Call Back.”
Alongside the tour announcement, Toliver continues to expand the world of OCTANE with the release of the official music video for “Rendezvous” featuring Yeat. Directed by ADM and produced by Cole Bennett, the video underscores the album’s momentum, spotlighting Toliver and Yeat’s chemistry through themes of speed, late-night escapism, and a diamond-driven motif.
The OCTANE visual rollout also includes the “Excavator” music video, directed by Shadrinsky and filmed at the historic Mount Wilson Observatory, as well as Live From OCTANE Mountain, a multi-hour live-streamed listening experience filmed at Mount Wilson that aired January 29, following an earlier in-person event at the Porsche Experience Center Los Angeles.
Recorded across Toliver’s European tour and sessions in Carmel-by-the-Sea, Los Angeles, and Mount Wilson, OCTANE draws inspiration from his lifelong love of cars and rally racing culture, with themes of motion, independence, and velocity driving both the album and its visuals.
The release builds on a historic run for Toliver, who has delivered certified platinum singles “No Pole” and “Private Landing” featuring Justin Bieber, along with multi-platinum hits including “No Idea,” “After Party,” “Lemonade,” and “Bandit.” His previous album, HARDSTONE PSYCHO (2024), earned his first No. 1 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
With OCTANE and its upcoming arena tour, Don Toliver continues to cement his place as one of modern Hip-Hop and R&B’s most forward-thinking artists.
