This past April, the quasi K-pop group KATSEYE (a project between US-based Geffen Records and South Korea-based Hybe) released the confounding “Gnarly,” their first single of the year. It’s an abrasive, campy hyperpop track that was originally written by Alice Longyu Gao as searing take on LA vapidity. Today, they released the follow-up track “Gabriela,” which takes a sharp left turn from its predecessor with a svelt Spanish guitar melody and a chorus that’s a rip on Dolly Parton’s classic “Jolene.”
