Today marks an exciting collaboration between Mattel’s Monster High and the global girl group KATSEYE, as they unveil a new musical project featuring a reimagined version of the beloved anthem “Fright Song.” Released across all major streaming platforms, this new rendition, accompanied by a vibrant music video, invites a new generation of fans to explore a uniquely spooky world that celebrates individuality and belonging.
Krista Berger, Senior Vice President of Barbie and Global Head of Dolls at Mattel, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, highlighting KATSEYE’s embodiment of Monster High’s core values—creativity, self-expression, and community support. This collaboration breathes new life into “Fright Song,” originally launched in 2010 and now the most streamed track in the Monster High franchise with over 87.9 million audio streams.
KATSEYE, known for their chart-topping EP “BEAUTIFUL CHAOS” and acclaimed singles like “Gnarly,” is experiencing a rising trajectory. Their new version of “Fright Song” features fresh vocals, revised lyrics, and an upbeat rhythm that reflects the themes of empowerment and individuality central to the Monster High brand. The accompanying music video showcases stunning visuals, innovative lighting, and energetic choreography, transforming members into custom monstrous avatars based on their heritages and personal traits.
Each member of KATSEYE has a unique monster persona, designed to resonate with their cultural backgrounds and personalities. These include:
– **Sophia**, a Manananggal with enchanting vocal abilities and the power to shift forms.
– **Lara**, a powerful Rakshasa and the encouraging big-sister figure.
– **Daniela**, a charismatic Werewolf whose rhythmic dance inspires others.
– **Yoonchae**, a stealthy White Tiger with a playful spirit and great strength.
– **Megan**, a clever Húli Jīng capable of magical and mischievous feats.
– **Manon**, a mystical Sea Monster able to command water and serpents.
In addition to the music launch, custom one-of-a-kind dolls representing each KATSEYE member are created, serving as an artistic celebration rather than for sale, paying tribute to the creative process behind the collaboration.
Fans can download and stream “Fright Song” on various platforms, and the music video is available to watch on the official Monster High YouTube channel, bridging the nostalgia of the iconic brand with contemporary artistry.
This collaboration not only breathes new life into a legacy song but aligns with a broader mission for representation and authenticity among young audiences, showcasing how creative partnerships can uplift and inspire through music and storytelling.
