Kick IIII (stylized as kick iiii) is the upcoming seventh studio album by Venezuelan record producer and singer Arca. The album is scheduled to be released on 2 December 2021 through XL Recordings as a continuation to her 2020 record Kick I, and will be the fourth entry in the planned Kick quintet.[1] Kick II, Kick III and Kick IIII are to be released the same week.Kick IIII has been supported by the lead single "Queer", featuring vocals by English musician Planningtorock.[2]
Background
Upon the release of Kick I, news surfaced that Arca would be releasing two more Kick albums to make a trilogy. The artist took to Pitchfork to say: "There will be four volumes. The third one is a little bit more introverted than Kick I, a little bit more like my self-titled album, I guess. The fourth one is piano only, no vocals. Right now, the least defined one, strangely, is the third one. It's all gestating right now [...] Each Kick exists in a kind of quantum state until the day that I send it to mastering. I try to not commit until I have to. But I have a vision for it. The second one is heavy on backbeats, vocal manipulation, mania, and craziness."[3]
In the following year, Arca released her extended play Madre and took part in Dawn of Chromatica, a remix album by Lady Gaga, where she remixed the Ariana Grande collaboration "Rain on Me".[4] While talking about the song on social media, Arca stated: "It's also the last time I playfully deconstruct my songs 'Time' and 'Mequetrefe', as we say goodbye to the Kick I era and move into the Kick II era and beyond".[5] Kick IIII was announced on November 18, alongside the release of the lead single "Queer" featuring vocals from English musician planningtorock.[6] Arca described the album as "entry of sensual charge in the cycle; my own faith made into song, a posthuman celestial sparkle, psychosexual pulsewidth modulation, queering the void, abyss alchemically transmuted into a deconstruction of what is beautiful, it is a healing spell, recognition of the alien inside, a bursting apart of old skin, fresh new sinew rippling outward from a beating core, the first prenatal kick—proof that there is a sentience with a will beyond its creators’ control expressing itself from within the womb."[7]
