Hikaru Utada's Latest Track 'Electricity – Arca Remix' Out Now, With Official Visualizer on YouTube
TOKYO, JAPAN — Hikaru Utada's latest single "Electricity," featured on the 2024 best-of album SCIENCE FICTION, has quickly become a standout in the artist's recent catalog. The track was performed as an encore at several shows during their tour, winning over fans and serving as a testament to Utada's ongoing creative brilliance. The music video for Electricity, released in December, has already exceeded 1.8 million views.
"Electricity" now takes on a bold new form with a remix courtesy of Barcelona-based musician and producer Arca, available now on all streaming platforms. Renowned for their genre-defying approach to sound, Arca brings a dynamic energy to Electricity, adding a new layer of depth to Utada's original vision.
In celebration of the release, an official visualizer has been unveiled on YouTube, alongside comments from Arca and Hikaru Utada upon the release.

〇 Arca Comment
It's a song that's so full of life and so vibrant and so much about a warmth, a connection that can't be broken. I wanted to do my best to recontextualize it sonically from the original, which is already so amazing, and try to do something different. In this instance, I wanted to go for something celebrational and to make it as electric as the song title implied – euphoric even.
〇 Hikaru Utada Comment
It was an honor, and it was really exciting because I didn't know what to expect. There's an unmistakable Arca sound, yet she draws from such a beautiful range of music and experiences that you never really know what you're going to get. What we got was incredible and beautiful. I'm very happy and excited to have had this opportunity to collaborate with her.
Arca's remix of “Electricity” arrives about two weeks after electronic artist Karen Nyame KG shared her take on the song, which offered a different perspective. The night before her rework dropped, a pre-release party was held the night before at EXPO'70 Pavilion Annex in Osaka, where it attracted an excited crowd.
