Arca "celebrating the moment of disagreement that is an expression of feeling alive" with her new album

Venezuelan-born, Barcelona-based artist Arca released her new album, an avant-pop record 'KiCk i' which celebrates the "prenatal kick; that instance of individuation, that unmistakable moment where parents realise their baby is not under their control but has its own will to live, its own impulses that are erratic and unpredictable, separate to their own", as she told i-D in an extensive interview - "So this is celebrating the moment of disagreement that is an expression of feeling alive". About her own change from gay to trans Latina woman she said "we’re all in constant flux, you know? We’re all transitioning: from birth to death, it’s inevitable. And then there’s this transition that is optional, that socially – as imperfect and flawed as it is – allows you to express this thing that is so abstract and physical and primal".
