Megan Skiendiel Music Timeline: from Audition Tracks to Global Pop Chart Hits
By David Miller
"Touch" turned KATSEYE into a streaming sensation, crossing 150 million Spotify streams within months of its summer launch. The song's viral success rested on clean syncopation and light vocal textures. Skiendiel’s parts demonstrate why HYBE x Geffen tapped her for central musical lines.
Producer Cashmere Cat built the song on a bright, minimalist synth line. Instead of using heavily processed group chants, the arrangement relies on distinct individual timbres. Skiendiel enters with a breathy, controlled tone that prevents the repetitive chorus from wearing thin. She hits the syncopated eighth notes right in the pocket, providing a smooth transition into Lara Raj's warmer chest tones and Sophia Laforteza's bright belts.
Studio stems reveal that Skiendiel tracked multiple harmony layers running a minor third above the lead hook. Her control over her head voice gives the refrain its airy feel. Listeners on streaming platforms immediately picked up on this element, and user-generated dance challenges quickly adopted the audio clip worldwide.
