Starting point is 00:00:03 Now, of course, if you haven't heard my coverage, my previous coverage of Katzai in their track, Narlie, where all I'm going to say is definitely check that out before you get into this segment. Because, of course, I don't want their fans to feel like I have any type of vendetta against them. I said what I needed to say. And now I can just cover the music because at the end of the day, if I see red flags, especially when I cover the music industry every single day, and certain things start to look a little fugitive. in the light I'm gonna call it out but of course I did that on my coverage of cat size track gnarly so as far as for this specific release when it comes to their album which is beautiful chaos which is five songs of 14 minutes but then you know what sounds like damn look at the state of hip-hop like what's
Starting point is 00:00:53 going on now technically this is not exactly hip-hop but you know as far as the mixture of this group and what they are making and putting out to the public it's very interesting the overall experimentation that's going on with this group as if you don't know they're having a cross-market appeal as far as the u.s and uk charts as when it comes to the charts the track gnarly it's the 98th most played track in the world it's been on the charts for about three weeks and you're probably saying to yourself well if it debuted so low which i mean it's still an achievement nonetheless But if it debuted so low as far as its first weeks on the charts,
Starting point is 00:01:38 but wouldn't it fall off in the upcoming weeks? Well, I would have to tell you, objectively speaking, as far as future chart data for July 5th, gnarly, it's set to increase and become the 96 most played track in the world. So technically, people are still listening to this. It's just towards the bottom of the top most played tracks in the world. But if you make it on any part of this list, it's a phenomenal accomplishment
Starting point is 00:02:04 especially once you realize how much music is dropping hourly anyways getting back into the EP the album however they want to title it is titled beautiful chaos out now in all DSPs there's five tracks 14 minutes and of course the single for this album
Starting point is 00:02:22 is Game Boy now when it comes to this specific track Game Boy just know that this is set to carry the EP into a great performance when it comes to streaming and market appeal when it comes to viral virility via well no that's definitely not it viral liddy if I know is that I don't know I'm keeping that in there too hopefully y'all enjoyed that so anyways increasing the overall quickness that it could be to the masses as far as the different social media platforms.
Starting point is 00:03:04 Let's put it like that. And then of course, not even to mention, they have a Netflix slash animated features to boost streaming exposure. So when it comes to that, there's a lot of different marketing strategies been put in place for a group that just started putting out music in 2024. So if you want to hear my real thoughts about that, just go back to my coverage of gnarly, which I definitely gave it. in-depth review on why I believe this is happening the way it is. But, you know, at the end of the day,
Starting point is 00:03:37 sometimes you got to play the game the way it's meant to be played and they say don't hate the player, hate the game. So that being said, Katzai being under UMG, the biggest music label in the world, I'm just going to say they definitely run a game on a lot of people. So when it comes to this EP beautiful chaos, I'm pretty sure the game boy track is the one that a lot of people was pinpointing to have the more exposure as far as the landscape of music because of the way that they're promoting this as the lead single off of the album and not lead single as like it came out before the album lead single as when the album came out their team chose game boy specifically to put on a lot of the new music charts and playlist so that's inevitably telling you that that's
Starting point is 00:04:25 the track they want to get out to the map is the quickest so anyways um i don't really have too much to say about this group um i said a lot on gnarly but at the end of the day if you don't know about them they were created in twenty twenty three via a dream academy reality show one of the members is from the philippines one of the members is from south korea one of the members is from switzerland and two of the members is from u.s and another member is from south korea so There's a lot of fusion when it comes to the experimental lane and the American pop and K-pop choreography and it's just very interesting how Hib Corporation and Universal Music Group came
Starting point is 00:05:11 together and now this group has the 98th most play track in the world just kind of shows you the games that are played behind the scenes but of course once again I would type in cat's eye analytic dreams with a Z to hear my coverage of them previously so you can hear my full in-death review because of course I want to just dunk on this group because maybe they had nothing to do with it maybe they are completely oblivious to how UMG and Hybe Entertainment are helping out their careers but at the end of day I do hope that their project beautiful chaos does well and I think you know hopefully I'll check it out and see for yourself if
Starting point is 00:05:50 they're the artist for you so anyways click my link to my bio let me know one of my social medias what do you think about cat's eye project beautiful chaos and at the end of the day do you think that cat's eye organically became one of the most consumed music groups in the world
