We previously spoke with KATSEYE around the release of their second EP Beautiful Chaos, where the group discussed Charli XCX co-writing their song Gabriela.

“One thing that inspires me so much about Charli is she’s so versatile,” member Lara Raj shared. “I recently went on this deep dive of all of her albums and the evolution of Charli XCX. What’s so special about her, whether it’s her artist project or what she’s written [for other artists], you can tell that she’s written it.

“In ‘Gabriela’, there are a lot of melodies where I’m like, ‘Oh my god, she did that. It’s Charli’,” she continued. “She leaves this imprint on everything she does, no matter how different the songs are. I just think that’s so sick. We all think that she’s the sickest person in the world. Excellent artistry and insane amounts of growth, but also very much staying true to herself and what she likes, which we all really want to be like [ourselves].”

Meanwhile, Manon Bannerman announced in February that she would be taking a “temporary hiatus” from the group to focus on her “health and wellbeing”.

In a statement shared through Weverse, the group said that HYBE and Geffen Records “fully support this decision” and that KATSEYE “remains committed to showing up for one another and for the fans who mean everything to us.”

In April, Bannerman later shared that she was “having positive conversations” with both labels during her hiatus.

Kanye West Defeated In Legal Battle Over ‘Hurricane’ Sample Use

Kanye West has officially lost a copyright trial connected to an uncleared sample used during an early performance of his song Hurricane.

The decision came after West, who also goes by Ye, testified in court that he knowingly removed the sample from the track after the listening event because he did not have permission to use it legally.

On Tuesday afternoon, a jury of eight unanimously ruled that Ye infringed on the copyright of an unreleased demo by using part of it in an early version of Hurricane, which was played in front of 40,000 fans during a sold out event five years ago.

The court ordered West personally to pay $176,153 (£130,137), while several of his associated companies were found liable for an additional $262,045 (£193,592).

Artists Revenue Advocates manager Britton Monts, whose company filed the lawsuit on behalf of the four musicians behind the original sample, described the outcome as an important moment for smaller artists.

Speaking to Rolling Stone, Monts said: "It's a victory for working artists, who typically lack the resources to go against someone like Ye, a megastar and celebrity.

"The underdogs got their day in court.”

A spokesperson for Yeezy pushed back against the ruling and framed the result differently, saying: "This is a failed shakedown. Six months ago, they wanted $30 million (£22 million).

"The moral of the story? There is a cost attached to thinking you can take advantage of Ye.”

During the six day trial, lawyers representing ARA argued that West generated approximately $5.6 million (£4.14 million) through ticket sales from the July 2021 listening event in Atlanta, along with merchandise revenue and a streaming agreement with Apple Music.

The final version of Hurricane, which featured The Weeknd and Lil Baby, later won the Grammy Awards award for Best Melodic Rap Performance.

The lawsuit adds to a long list of copyright disputes West has faced throughout his career over allegations of unauthorized sampling. However, this marked the first time one of those cases actually went to trial.
