Sep 3, 2023Arca's transition from male to female marked the beginning of new era in Arca's career. Transition from arthouse to unusual contemporary pop music. Improvement of composing and quality. Well done
Overall: 8.7 / 10 -
Aug 13, 2022By far her best work yet! The energy and the chaos created in this album it’s amazing. And the versatility of the various songs just shows how good Arca is as an artist. The featured artists did a perfect job too. Rosalía in KLK is one of the best collabs of the decade, Sophie, Shygirl and Björk killed their verses.

Jul 3, 2022Arca's versatility is something that follows her throughout her career. The trajectory of this album, which leads from summer bangers to sentimental and melancholic ballads, indicates that. A very interesting production full of glitches that is very challenging and will give many a headache. And absolutely amazing collaborations!
-
Dec 21, 2021The Best of the kick series by far; it actually seems like this album alone spawned the rest of the four albums , for example, you can listen to rip the slit as the initial try to what was going to be kick III.
I love this, I didn't like it that much when it came out, but now that we have all the kick espectrum, its my favorite. -
Dec 1, 2021This album has literally no skips and have sentimental songs and bangers, is amazing

Oct 28, 2020My fave album of the year so far. Full of complex, fresh and layered production.
-
Oct 1, 2020since non-binary my expectations were high for this new arca era, but she proved them wrong and surpassed them in every way possible.
arca really did something i thought she couldn’t do with this new album. which just proves she’s still improving her sound.
my fav arca album used to be xen but that changed now.
fav songs: watch, KLK, machote
least fav: afterwards -
Sep 3, 2020ARCA I love that you deliver everything we don't expect!!! Totally original.
-
Sep 1, 2020Arca es uno de los mejores productores de la industria en la actualidad, y es algo que nos confirmó con este fantástico álbum que nos acaba de dar
-
Aug 31, 2020Que álbum tan horrible , no la.conocen ni en su casa , a esto le.llaman arte ? No es música!! Terrible álbum
-
Aug 28, 2020Arca produces her best work yet with help from friends, highlights include nonbinary, time, mequetrefe, afterwards, watch, klk, la chiquí and machote
-
Aug 28, 2020La producción es asombrosa, pero parece que Arca dió un paso atrás a su estilo que había venido forjando y finalmente pulido con su álbum homónimo Arca. Generalmente, cuenta con un concepto a punto de ser sólido.
-
Jul 30, 2020an explosion of creativity and talent. With each listening he grows even more inside me, mixing experimental and nostalgic and futuristic sounds, it is one of the best albums of the year.
-
Jul 29, 2020Despite the hype, this record is a disappointment. It feels rushed, muddled and uncertain of its self. Not to mention that the guest features here are lackluster at best. Sadly, Kick i falls flat in more ways than one, even if below the surface, there is a good album in there.
-
Jul 23, 2020This is probably my second favourite album from Arca, i just simply can go to a party and spend all night with them, from La Chiqui to Afterwards, Arca made a solid album.
-
Jul 15, 2020Absolutely terrible. Third, and final, album of his I am trying. Just a whole lot of noise. Bjork needs to get the **** away from him, he is totally ruining her music.
-
Jul 11, 2020Very dissapointing by arca... the only good songs are the features thanks to björk sophie and rosalia
-
Jul 1, 2020Genius for a generation that isn’t ready for it. Arca screams. Arca made Björk sing in Spanish. Arca is Sexual. Arca is here to stay!.
-
Jul 1, 2020this album is just perfection. it's all that arca have been giving us through the years and even more. thank u, queen, for this masterpiece
-
Jun 30, 2020The alnum is just it self as a Transgression to the future of music path, bringing different genres and sub genres to the table and a raw experimentation with sound and lyrical construction. KiCk (i), in shortly is collaborative deconstruction of sound and music that offer a new wave of music, taking pop, reggaetón, house, music to a new level.

Jun 27, 2020A complete turn to 2007's "Arca" and the rest of her catalog. This is a new Arca, with the same effort for experimentation just goin a little "pop" for fun. Beautiful & intriguing.
-

Jun 26, 2020Un álbum con sonidos experimentales de electrónica, pop y un poco de reggaeton con una gran producción a cargo del propio artista. Sin duda una joya

Jun 26, 2020This is definitely my favorite release of 2020.
Arca at her best - is it perfect? nope. is it real? yes. Kick i is cohesive and has some amazing collabs. Songs like Riquiquí, Calor, Afterwards and KLK made this album a beautiful body of work. -
Jun 26, 2020such a strong album! It’s very cohesive and show us a message through every song. Miss Arca did it again.
-
Jun 26, 2020Um das piores coisas que já ouvi na vida. Arca é ume mulhere não-binarie muite esquisite.
-
Jun 26, 2020every track is perfectly made, some are fun and some are emotional. the collaboration with Björk, SOPHIE ect. makes this album amazing, but for the moment it feels like the lp doesn't work as perfectly as her last masterpiece.
Awards & Rankings

MojoJul 21, 2020Standout track by far is La Chiqui where trans artist Sophie and Arca go head to head, like two tall, sonic waveforms. Extraordinary. [Sep 2020, p.83]
-
The WireJul 14, 2020Far from being some utopian unity of the opposites her work has summoned – beyond binaries – she’s still clearly experimenting and sometimes failing. [Aug 2020, p.48]
-
Jul 2, 2020The record dazzles with its detail, beguiles with its lyrical performances and leaves a lasting impression with powerful songwriting.
