}}Arca is the self-titled third studio album by Venezuelan electronic record producer Arca (Alejandro Ghersi), released on 7 April 2017 through XL Recordings.[2][3] It is the first studio album to feature lead vocals by Arca herself, sung in her native Spanish.[5] It was released to universal acclaim from critics.[6]

Background

On 28 February 2016, Ghersi announced via Instagram that his new album would be titled Reverie and was almost finished,[4] although on 22 February 2017, he announced that the album would in fact be self-titled Arca.[5] He explained in an interview for i-D magazine that he didn't want the album to be eponymous, it's more that every other name felt wrong: "I went through a whole year of trying different names, they all felt foreign. But because I use my singing voice in a way that I've never done before, it didn't feel unnatural to call it Arca."[6]

The use of his voice on the new album was inspired by collaborator and friend, Björk:[7]

I don't know if I would've ever sung on this record if it weren't for Björk. We were in the car together and I had been singing for fun and she turned to me very casually and asked me if I'd ever considered singing on my music. I just dismissed it. But then I took her very seriously because I respect her so profoundly as a vocalist. She gave me so much guidance, so I really want to celebrate that when I talk about the record. It was a big deal. She was so nurturing throughout the whole process and I don't know if I would've been so brave to do this without her as a friend.[8]
Ghersi explained his reasoning for singing in Spanish as it was the language he learned to process emotion with, the language of his upbringing that his parents "fought and divorced in". He said it became much more natural for him to manifest certain things that were very private and very intimate in Spanish.[9]

Ghersi said the lyrics on the album are "all recent and all – except for one song – improvised" and that he "never sat down and wrote a word and then changed it to a better word," further stating: "I recorded lots and lots of melodies and lyrics, if they were pure enough I left them like that. I didn't let my critical mind interrupt the outpouring."[6] Many songs include references to his influences, such as the lyrics of "Anoche", which reference Björk's 1995 song "I Miss You"[10] and some of the lyrics of "Reverie" which are taken directly from the Venezuelan folk classic "Caballo Viejo", composed by Simón Díaz.[11]

Release and promotion

Ghersi announced the album's title and release date via Twitter along with the opening track off the album, "Piel" on 22 February 2017.[12] The track listing includes the previously shared "Sin Rumbo", which appeared on his previous release, Entrañas and "Urchin", which was released on 29 December 2015.[3][13] On 24 February, he released the second track, "Anoche" along with a music video directed by longtime collaborator Jesse Kanda, who also designed the cover art of the album.[14] On March 16, he released another video directed by Kanda for "Reverie".[15] On March 24, "Saunter" was released. In addition, "Saunter" and "Reverie" were released on a limited run of 12-inch singles along with the album's release.[16][17] On April 10, he released a music video for the tenth track, "Desafío".[18]

At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from critics, the album received an average score of 87, based on 20 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[19] AllMusic's Heather Phares praised Ghersi for pushing his boundaries on Arca, further stating that "the vulnerability he displays makes it some of his most exciting and moving music yet."[20] Nina Corcoran of The A.V. Club praised the album, stating: "If the skittering fluctuation of Ghersi's past releases gained him a cult following, then the open-hearted ballads sprinkled throughout Arca should earn him his well-deserved breakthrough."[21] Clash magazine critic Shahzaib Hussain thought that Arca "rides a steady stream of minimalist melancholia, juxtaposed against Ghersi’s intense, operatic vocals – the effect is one of ceremonial transcendence."[30] Consequence of Sound{{'}}s David Sackllah described the album as Arca's "most daring and enthralling record yet," adding that "By peeling back the layers of his persona, Ghersi breaks himself down in an attempt to find rebirth, trying to reconcile with his past and present."[22] Bryon Hayes of Exclaim! said, "This back-and-forth is carried along throughout Arca, demonstrating that Ghersi hasn't lost his fondness for tempered electronic cacophony, but has expanded his palette, to mind-bendingly gorgeous results."[31]

Fact critic Miles Bowe praised the album's composition, claiming it's Ghersi's "most focused on his career" while noting that the vocals display his forward evolution.[32] Rating the album with a perfect score, The Guardian{{'}}s Rachel Aroesti commented: "Exquisite opener Piel captures the interplay between poise and prostration that has made Catholic ritual such a rich artistic seam, while arch humour is provided by Whip – hyper-real lashing accompanied by the sound of a powering-down robot – and Desafío, which takes disposable Eurotrash pop and makes it worthy of pious contemplation."[23] Pitchfork critic Kevin Lozano labeled the record with the tag "Best New Music", mentioning that Ghersi's work is "still mysterious, but not as opaque—it doesn't keep you at an arm's length, instead he offers up his pleasures more readily."[25] Resident Advisor{{'}}s Ryan Keeling described the record as "Arca's most accomplished work to date."[28] Andrew Paschal of PopMatters thought that the record "refuses to ossify into a legible and easily recognizable shape, defying our expectations of the artist’s output while remaining untethered even to a clearly delineated internal logic," describing the result as "both emotionally enrapturing and conceptually thrilling."[26] Andy Beta of Spin praised Arca for being Ghersi's "most engaging, emotionally draining and confrontational album to date."[33]
