Let’s be real: the Grammys are notoriously slow to embrace new pop acts, especially ones that are global hybrids. Katseye’s music blends English, Korean, Spanish, and a dash of “we-don’t-know-what-we’re-doing-but-it-slaps.” The Recording Academy, bless their hearts, often gets confused by anything that doesn’t rhyme with “swift.”
Also, their debut album hasn’t dropped yet. You can’t win a Grammy for a single and a few EPs unless you’re Beyoncé, and even she had to wait years. So, Katseye is basically in a musical waiting room, filling out forms and hoping the receptionist doesn’t lose their file.
