In her music Arca often refers to mutation and dysmorphism, or deviation from the normal. On albums such as
Xen (2014) and
Mutant (2015) electronics were bent on all sides to give shape to those themes. Arca now identifies herself as a transversal woman and once again gives sound to the changeable human being, because gender can also be present in various 'malleable' forms. On KiCk i she shifts more
… towards pop music, but be prepared because it is still Arca who is behind the buttons. Lots of bouncing beats, nervous rhythms and distorted voices, all originating from styles like reggaeton, industrial, IDM and avant-garde pop. In this way Arca channels her self-confidence and her music becomes an expression of her identity. She gets help from a trits of other power women. Thus Björk, Shygirl, SOPHIE and Rosalía can be heard on this crazy record. (JvQ)more
