Arca

"Hips Don't Lie" (Shakira cover)

Arca (a.k.a. Alejandro Ghersi) is temporarily shifting his priorities from the celebrated sounds of his Xen LP towards highlighting the awesomeness of Colombian She Wolf Shakira via a cover of her international smash hit, "Hips Don't Lie."

Arca takes the song in a much different, though no less wriggly direction. The fiery rock track is slowed down to produce a series of grinding mechanic clanks, military four-on-the-floor and mercury-warped vocals. And, oh baby when the vocalist talks like that on the track, it makes us go mad.

Take it from us, stream the twisted revamp down below. You'll never have known that you could dance like this.
