KATSEYE Sweat It Out in Colorful, Rain-Drenched ‘Hootie Fruitti’ Video: Watch

The music video for KATSEYE's song "Hootie Fruitti" from their WILD EP was directed by Alfred Marroquin. The visually striking clip showcases the Brazilian dance style and Latin-influenced beat, with the members of the group dancing enthusiastically, much like Shakira. In the video, Sohpia Laforteza, Daniela Avanzini, Lara Raj, Megan Skiendiel, and Yoonchae Jeung, can be seen moving to the rhythm of the song in a sweat-drenched underground dance party themed setting.

The action begins with the women trying to escape the intense heat, lying still and fanning themselves, but eventually joining the party. The bandmates are dressed in primary colored bikinis and one-pieces, and their signature high-energy choreography is put on display. One moment, the sprinklers turn on, turning the party into a rain-drenched event, and the women splash around, pull slime, and pop Tic Tacs, all while staying in sync with the hypnotic beat.

Avanzini teases the chorus with lines like, "Hey cutie, cutie, I see ya lookin'," while Jeung adds, "Carry my matcha, Mount Valley water/I like my mochi drenched in chocolata." The video serves as the third installment in KATSEYE's EP series, following the Grammy-nominated BEAUTIFUL CHAOS, and features the hit singles "PINKY UP" and "Animal."

Currently, Laforteza and original member Manon Bannerman are on hiatus from the group, but they will be hitting the road on September 1 for the WILDWORLD TOUR. For those unable to see them live, the concert film KATSEYE: WILD HEARTS is currently playing in over 1,700 cinemas across more than 60 countries.
