Katseye's 'Beautiful Chaos' EP Takes Their Music (And Style) To The Next Level
Katseye is serving an eclectic new sound with their second EP, proving that the girls are headed for a sound and style evolution.
By Lucy Lauron,
It's the gnarliest music drop of the year: Katseye's Beautiful Chaos EP. A year after their debut with SIS (Soft is Strong), this comeback proves that Katseye is ushering in a bolder, louder, and uncompromising era. Sonically, Beautiful Chaos sounds exactly like its title. It's a beautiful cacophony of seemingly polarising sounds and concepts.
After all, it takes real versatility to release the chaotic hyper-pop track on steroids, Gnarly, and the Latin-inspired and hypnotic, Gabriela, in the same EP. In commemoration of the EP's release, the group released a track that takes us on another sharp musical turn. This time, it's the saccharine dance-pop track, Gameboy (watch the music video here).

Eyekons would know: the very concept of 'beautiful chaos' suits the group perfectly. Whether through their infamous live streams, or their on-stage performances, the Katseye girls have never shied away from being their true and honest selves. Likewise, this EP demonstrates not just the group's global identity and strong sisterhood, but how they're owning their raw power and rebelliousness, and softness and precision.
Music aside, Katseye's style is also getting an eclectic upgrade. Where SIS (Sis is Strong) focused on a soft and feminine style, with pastels and glowy makeup, Beautiful Chaos is grittier and more powerful. The sculpted looks, paired with dramatic smokey eyes. Not to mention the outfits? Sleek black sets are paired with colourful feather boleros, and bold cutouts. Lara's Mugler cutout blazer? Yoonchae's Self-Portrait dress? It's look after look.
Scroll on for the looks that made our jaws drop, and the girls' stunning visuals.
