Arca Unveils Two New Tracks, ‘Prada’ And ‘Rakata’

The two songs feature in a brand new video from the artist ahead of the release of new album 'KICK ii'

Arca has shared a music video featuring two brand new tracks, ‘Prada’ and ‘Rakata’.

Both are lifted from the artist’s forthcoming album, KICK ii, which was announced in October with the release of the Sia-featuring lead single ‘Born Yesterday’. You can watch the new video featuring ‘Prada’ and ‘Rakata’ above.

Speaking about the two tracks in a statement, Arca said ‘Prada’ "is about celebrating psychosexual versatility; a song explicitly about transness and nonbinary modes of relating the sexual energy of the collective subconscious as a celebration of life," while ‘Rakata’ "is a song about seduction, about wanting to devour the entire world out of a desire to fuck, without shame, free from condemnation, about sex as a life impulse in the face of death."

XL will release KICK ii on December 3, 2021.
