​Arca announces new album 'KiCK ii'

Venezuelan-born, Barcelona-based multimedia artist Arca has announced the release of her anticipated sequential record, ‘KiCK ii’.

The record follows 2020 released ‘KiCK i’ which bagged a Grammy award nomination shortly after its release, with a name alluding to the promise of a second part.

‘KiCK ii’ is set for release on December 3 via XL Recordings, with a new single from the forthcoming record featuring Sia out now. ‘Born Yesterday’ dropped on Monday, October 4 — alongside an ethereal video in true Arca style.

‘Born Yesterday’ traverses a darker side of pop, with Sia’s vocals melding with Arca’s across a gritty, raw three-minute track.

The singer, composer, DJ, producer, and artist is set to release ‘KiCK ii’ as a follow-up in the KiCK series - an anthology of records collecting all of the musician’s recent works.

‘KiCK ii’ will feature collaborations from Cardopusher, Boys Noize, Mica Levi, Jenius Level, Wondagurl, Cubeatz and Sia.

Just a year on from her last album, the Venezuelan multimedia artist - real name Alejandra Ghersi Rodriguez - has amassed critical acclaim worldwide, working with names like Lady Gaga, FKA Twigs, Frank Ocean, and Kanye on previous projects.
