'KiCk i' sounds awfully fun for such disruptive music.

“I do what I wanna do when I wanna do it / B****, I got the bags to prove it”. Arca has every right to sound so self-assured on the opening two lines of KiCk i — the Venezuelan’s work with Frank Ocean, FKA twigs and others marked her out as one of the most influential producers of the 2010s.

The Venezuelan electronic innovator adds guests and party tunes to her trademark glitchy sounds

Arca continues to revolutionise her art on stunning new album KiCk i, a boundary-breaking, contradictory and glorious celebration of life

The album is a statement of exuberance from an artist who’s known to deal in gloom.
