2005 saw a move to Barcelona and the final name change, recording the promotional CD-R, CatPeople!, leading to them being signed by independent Spanish label PuPilo Records and the management and booking agency College Artists. In May 2006 they released their debut LP Reel #1 (PuPilo Records/Popstock!).
While Adrián and Fito remain largely responsible for songwriting, the latter has chosen not to form a part of the live line-up, focusing instead on musical composition and studio work. As such Iván Fernández has been recruited on bass, bringing a robust elegance to the live shows. Last but by no means least, Raúl Muñoz, joined as “guest member” in mid 2006 playing both keyboards and guitars with an enviable ability, allowing Adrián to concentrate on a better vocal interpretation.Lead singer Adrían Peréz co-directed Radio and Behind
In February 2007 CatPeople played their first shows outside of Spain, in the Czech Republic which lead to tour extensively throughout Spain and Europe (Portugal, France, Germany, the Czech Republic) including FIB Benicassim, Europavox, Festival do Norte, Contempopranea, Sonorama y Popkomm.
CatPeople launched their second album through Pias.

I want to feel this
I want to life for the radio, radio, yes

You want this crowns this screams again
well come on

I sell my life
I have to stand up, again
Come on come on now

I want to dream well
I want to life for the radio, radio
Come on come on now

the history, i hope
I hope you give me a chance
to smile
I sell my life

The lyrics of CatPeople's song Radio are about the price that one pays for fame in the entertainment industry. The repeated line "I sell my life" emphasizes how the artist feels like they are sacrificing everything for the sake of their career. The line "there want to circle my blind" suggests that the industry is taking advantage of the artist's vulnerability and making them blind to what is really happening.
The chorus "Come on come on now, we want to song on the radio, radio" conveys the desire for success and validation from the public. The use of "radio" as a symbol of mainstream success emphasizes how the artist is willing to do anything to achieve it. The lines "I want to feel this, I want to shift for the radio" and "I want to dream well, I want to life for the radio" suggest that the artist is willing to sacrifice their own happiness and wellbeing in order to succeed.
The final lines "I feel everything comes to my life now, it's when I change my own the history, I hope. I hope you give me a chance to smile" suggests that the artist is hopeful for a better future and wants to make a positive impact on the industry. However, the repeated "I sell my life" emphasizes how difficult this may be and the price that needs to be paid.
