KiCK - Arca // Albums Review
Arca has become known for her transgressive takes on pop and avant-garde over the past few years. The confluence of her inspirations led her to KiCk i, an audacious synthesis of all things Arca. She closes this chapter with the release of the rest of the KICK universe.
released via XL Recordings, Dec.3
The three new albums each represent an expansion on the original KiCk i universe, with their own musical and thematic singularities. KiCK ii dives deeper within the experimental reggaeton pop intersection Arca developed on the first installment of the series. The starpower of “KLK” with ROSALÍA is prolonged across new tracks like “Prada” and ”Rakata”. As defiant as the former, perhaps more sensual and even slightly off-putting, those new additions to the Arca vernacular re-imagine a life without shame and fear.
Favorites: Prada, Rakata, Tiro, Bruja, Ripples, Rubberneck, My 2, Xenomorphgirl, Amrep
