KATSEYE – SIS (Soft Is Strong)

Review

Girl, let me tell you about KATSEYE's new EP "SIS (Soft Is Strong)" - it's a total bop! These ladies came out swinging with their debut, serving up a tasty mix of K-pop vibes and throwback 2000s pop that'll have you feeling like you're living your best Y2K fantasy. The tracks are straight fire, with catchy hooks that'll be stuck in your head for days. And can we talk about those empowering lyrics? They're all about girl power and sisterhood, which is totally my jam.

Now, I'm not gonna lie, this EP is shorter than my attention span during a boring Zoom call - we're talking just under 12 minutes for five tracks. But don't let that fool you, 'cause KATSEYE packs a punch with every second. They're giving us Little Mix and Britney vibes, but with their own fresh twist. The only tea I've got is that some folks are wishing the songs were a smidge longer, but honestly? It just leaves me wanting more, and I'm already hyped for whatever these queens drop next. Trust me, "SIS (Soft Is Strong)" is the perfect playlist addition for when you need to feel like a total boss babe. - Kaitlyn

Artist Bio

KATSEYE is a multinational girl group based in Los Angeles, formed in 2023 through the reality show Dream Academy, a joint project between HYBE Corporation and Geffen Records. The group consists of six members—Daniela, Lara, Manon, Megan, Sophia, and Yoonchae—each representing a different region, including the United States, Switzerland, the Philippines, and South Korea. Their music features modern pop with strong KPOP influences, and they made their debut in June 2024 with the single "Debut," followed by their EPs SIS (Soft Is Strong) and Beautiful Chaos. KATSEYE stands out as the first global girl group developed with KPOP training but with diverse, multinational members, and they gained notable recognition when their track "Gnarly" entered the Billboard Hot 100 in 2025. Fans of groups like XG, BLACKPINK, and (G)I-DLE may find KATSEYE’s sound and style appealing.
