KATSEYE has unveiled the music video for 'Hootie Frutti' alongside a new EP, marking the opening of their WILD era. Directed by Alfred Marroquin, the video showcases KATSEYE hosting a Brazilian-style party in an underground setting, featuring pulsing Latin beats, high-energy choreography, and colorful minimalist styling. The group is currently operating as a four-member unit, with Manon Bannerman and Sophia Laforteza taking temporary hiatuses to focus on their health and mental well-being. This release comes as the follow-up to their breakthrough Beautiful Chaos era, and KATSEYE is preparing for their first arena tour, which kicks off on September 1st in Dublin, Ireland. 'Hootie Frutti' exemplifies the group's increasingly bold and experimental pop universe, demonstrating their continued upward momentum despite lineup changes.
