Any reason it’s not kick ii iii iv v? :triggered:

Nevermind I see they have a penchant for nonsense titles. :wacko:

From her instagram bio: "If it feels oppressive kick against it"

the 'i' are just to number them (and she substituted the iv and v for iiii and iiiii) because they all belong to the same conceptual series 

Soft, soothing, and succulent

Well yeah what’s the reason for not using iv and v? :oprah: It seems like a stylistic choice. But I see she has titles like @@@@@@ :air:

the iv and v is probably a stylistic choice because it looks better when there's a bunch of i's next to each other nnn

and yeah her mixtapes have the weirdest titles i'll give you that :air:

The pictures remind me heavily of Gaga's Paper Magazine shoot 

Arca has been doing these visuals since before Chromatica. The Paper Magazine photoshoot was actually compared to Arca when it came out

Not really. It just reminds everyone that Gaga is a trendsetter! Remember how many albums made planets after Chromatica came out?

Arca did it first let’s not be delulu here

Nothing, he should continue to create and get inspired by each artist he works with. 
Why do you guys give so much relevance to my personal experience? :laughga:

You're putting it out there on a forum, so expect people to interact with you :ladyhaha:

My favorite kicks literally keep changing all the time, these records have incredible replay value. I thought I wouldn't listen to iiii much, and now it low-key became one of my faves.

Now that I've spent some time with the music, I'd say my favorites are definitely ii and iiii. iii is growing on me tho. As for iiiii, I think I need to spend some more time with it, but since it's making me sad I'm pretty certain this isn't the one I'll enjoy revisiting most. But low-key watch me change my mind in a couple days... :ladyhaha:

I like Arca, and in a perfect world, I would listen to full albums. My lifestyle doesn't always support that, though, so does anyone have suggestions for particular tracks I should check out? (I know, I know, artists intend it to be a full thing, I get it, I'll listen in full when I can, just asking what to listen to first while I'm busy!)

But still, if I didn't see Gaga's one I would go completely fangirl over this photoshoot. 

Slightly unrelated, but neither are photoshoots, they are 3D renders. Gaga wasn't actually photographed lol

But I wasn't referring to what you said, I was quoting another user who said Gaga made this into a trend when she really didn't.

"another user". Rude. :bear: I have a name. :messga: Gaga didn't invent planets either and yet this year we got Planet Her and Montero, when it wasn't necessarily very common to have planet-themed albums in 2020 or 2019, all of a sudden in 2021 that was the new trend. For your information, Arca was on DOC, which means they know what Gaga is up to to an extent, at least enough to have seen her Paper shoot and been inspired to collab with the artist/photographer from that same shoot. Just because you want to deny the existence of trends doesn't mean they don't exist, another user. :huntyga:

Arca has been working with Frederik Heyman before Gaga...
