Editor’s Notes: KiCk i is Arca's fourth studio album, and the follow-up to her eponymous 2017 LP. The genre-defying effort will center on fluidity and the freedom to express yourself — themes that are very close to the Venezuela-born artist.

“There was a clear intention [on the album] to allow every self to express itself,” she said. “Not to decide how much air time each self would get, but to allow for modulation between them in a spontaneous way. There is no such thing as normal.”

KiCk i is produced by Arca, featuring appearances from Björk, Rosalía, Shygirl, and SOPHIE. According to an official press release, the album blends "bubblegum, harsh noise, electronic psychedelia, balladry, bangers, laughter, tears, passion, and expressions of faith- sounds and ideas that don’t simply blend together, but coexist simultaneously in quantum superposition made possible inside the sonic worlds Arca builds in her music."

You can listen to the first two tracks from KiCk i — "Nonbinary" and "Time" — below, and pre-order the album here.
