KATSEYE’s meteoric rise shows no signs of slowing. Today, the genre-blurring global pop group dropped two high-voltage remixes of their breakout single “Gnarly,” celebrating over 100 million combined global streams of the original. Released via HYBE x Geffen Records, the new versions push the track’s chaotic energy even further while introducing fresh voices and bold new textures.
The first remix features none other than Ice Spice, whose signature delivery slices through a bass-heavy, club-ready beat. The result is a thrilling, rhythm-first reinvention of “Gnarly” that retains its chaotic roots while giving it a whole new bounce.
The second remix ups the ante with a high-energy collaboration between Lara of KATSEYE, UK rapper Lancey Foux, and alt-pop wild card Slush Puppy. This version leans into a sleek synth-forward production, featuring commanding verses from Lancey and an edgier tone that reshapes the song into a dancefloor juggernaut.
Since its April 30 debut, “Gnarly” has sparked waves of attention online and in real life. Described by The FADER as “abrasive, camp, totally chaotic,” the track has become a viral dance phenomenon, with fans performing its “absolutely bonkers” choreography across New York City and beyond. W Magazine called it a “genius bit of post-modern pop perfection,” emphasizing how its initial shock factor quickly turned into obsession for listeners: “Sometimes taking a big risk pays off.”
Directed by Cody Critcheloe, the official “Gnarly” video captures the song’s explosive energy in bold visuals and fever-dream fashion, only intensifying its impact. With the remix drops and mounting acclaim, “Gnarly” is quickly solidifying itself as a top contender for Song of the Summer 2025.
KATSEYE’s rise has been as fast as it’s been fierce. They’re slated to perform at the 2025 Kids Choice Awards and are featured on the current May–June cover of Teen Vogue. The group also recently inked high-profile partnerships with Glossier and Urban Outfitters, further cementing their status as cultural tastemakers.
Following the success of their debut EP SIS (Soft Is Strong)—which topped Billboard’s Emerging Artists and Heatseekers Albums charts—KATSEYE is now gearing up for their next chapter. Their upcoming EP BEAUTIFUL CHAOS, out June 27, promises to dive even deeper into themes of digital life, identity, and the unpredictable nature of modern girlhood. The group’s multicultural lineup—Daniela (Atlanta), Lara (New York), Manon (Zurich), Megan (Honolulu), Sophia (Manila), and Yoonchae (Seoul)—adds a unique global perspective to their sound, making KATSEYE one of pop’s most exciting new acts.
