“Hips Don’t Lie” (Shakira Cover) By Arca

 

 

Tomorrow’s Friday, want to celebrate by listening to an eerie (Shakira cover) by Arca of “Hips Don’t Lie”?

Venezuela-born Alejandro Ghersi AKA Arca is a supreme talent. He is also kind of creepy. Cool creepy. Like you are really into the fact that this random guy is staring at you. Not creepy like shit is this guy about to jack my iphone. FKA twigs, Kanye, Björk and Dazed Digital I think would all agree. He is the highest-ranked musician on the Dazed 100 list with only Olivier Rousteing and Kendall Jenner in front of him.

With drudging mechanic clanks and swirling ghostly warped vocals Arca takes the song into much different (and obviously darker territory) though no less a wriggly hip gesticulating direction. Its melodies are delicate and cautious. Take a listen below.
