Arca, Venezuelan singer, songwriter, producer, artist of all kinds of things, has FINALLY announced her new song "Nonbinary", from her upcoming album KiCk i. The song's title  refers to her gender as she has come out as non-binary not too long ago: "I identify as a transwoman, and I see my gender identity as nonbinary."

From Paper Magazine, about the song:

On the album's opening track, "Nonbinary," Arca repeatedly implores the listener to "speak for your self-states" amidst an eruption of artillery fire and thundering kicks. "I'm asking for recognition that we have multiple selves without denying that there's a singular unit," she says. "[It's] the difference between the pronoun use of 'they' and 'it.' It's that I want to have my cake and eat it, too. I want to be seen as an ecosystem of minor self-states without being stripped of the dignity of being a whole."

The song premieres on Youtube on April 30 at 7AM PDT.

 

The new era is officially upon us :vegas:

Spoiler

I know the album, including this song, already leaked but I'm still hyped af because I think the leak might not be the final version of the album (especially that Arca talked about a song called "Trio" which isn't in the leak. But regardless, this is so exciting :woot:

Yeah I mentioned the leak in my post.

I actually really love nonbinary, it's a great opening track. Also, I think it's an essential song for this era, especially with the messages it holds. Arca talked about it (and being nonbinary) in interviews.

It's one of my favourites to be honest. I don't think there's a single bad song on the record :enigma:
