EYECONS, Sophia is coming back!
We’ve got a reunion to look forward to! Sophia Laforteza is expected to return to KATSEYE in January 2027, after taking time away from group activities to focus on her mental health. Her break was announced in August, and since then, she hasn’t appeared with the group publicly, leaving fans wondering if she left for good. Now, there’s finally a timeline to look forward to, with the singer set to return at the start of the new year. In the meantime, we’re loving everything KATSEYE keeps giving, and we’re counting down the days until Sophia’s return!

The new track brings a slightly different side to the singer as it explores an exciting romance accompanied by upbeat rhythm and skillful storytelling. Wilson has been busy this year with everything from new releases to live shows, and her return as the host of the CMA Awards is on the horizon. She already has huge plans for next year, including joining Harry Styles on the Toronto dates of his Together Together tour.

Fenty Beauty Math = New Music?
The Navy might want to make some room in their playlists cause Rihanna has a whole lot of unreleased music. During a TikTok Live while chatting about Fenty Beauty, the singer was asked how much material she has tucked away. She did some math with her beauty products and came up with 170 as the number of songs that have never been heard. Now we have all the more reason to anticipate new music from the superstar, who hasn’t released an album in roughly 10 years. Between running her beauty and fashion businesses, she sure does have a lot on her plate, but we are eagerly waiting for some new music!
