Arcana Première the album

ATTENTION: PLEASE DO NOT EDIT UNLESS YOU ARE GIVEN EXPLICIT PERMISSION FROM MIXIE.BAUM! Thank you :)

Arcana Première is Rochelle The Rät's 2nd album under Crayongular Records that was written and produced by Rät themselves. Rät uploaded stories previously to hype up their fans and also talked about the future plans for the album to be turned into a musical-like film. The album itself was released in 2021, the year after their tour in the US, Canada, Europe and Tokyo. The album was based on titles and concepts of Tarot Cards. Rochelle explained all of the meanings on a Tik Tok live in January 2024. They also revealed that there will be another album attached to this one when the film is released.

The Fool- "The fool is about what Rät once was, a naive fool that is manipulated very easily. It's also about new beginnings and exploring nature. Rät is going through a new start of life. They are reincarnated during their 'sleep' or 'paralyzation'. They have more of a rabbit-like look. They still have wings but they're more moth-like compared to their previous fairy-like wings. They become more carefree as they explore their new body, new life and all the new beginnings that come with it."

The Magician- "Track two is about manifestation and power. It's about putting time and effort into your power or into gaining power. This song explores the good and bad things of manifestation, a form of (almost) obsession and the whole idea surrounded around power. It explains what happens when you put too much into your power and how it can take over one's life."

The High Priestess- "Track three is centred around intuition and mystery. It's about Rät's intuition and the mystery of all the unknown things about Rät and their life."

The Empress- "The Empress is about fertility and nurturing. It's about the stereotypical female mother and how they're supposed to be nurturing and caring, working in the house and cleaning. How they're not supposed to leave the house, they're stuck inside dealing with it all."

The Emperor- "The Emperor is about setting rules and the idea of men always being in authority. It's basically the flip side of the coin since a lot of people only see the females and the males as people. It's getting better but it's not the best yet. But this song is about how men are supposed to set rules and be the authority over others."

The Hierophant- "The Hierophant surrounds beliefs and ethics. Basically, what you believe, how you live because of that belief and all the principles behind that. This song is quite controversial just like track four and five. People have all sorts of beliefs that I don't believe in. Obviously I believe in some of them but you know, I can't believe the world is flat and believe it's a sphere at the same time...it's just how it works. In the song I express my opinions on different beliefs which can start a lot of arguments. Which despite what a lot of people think...it's a good thing. Arguments to do with music concepts are a great thing...for the artist at least (laughs). It helps bring attention to my music and the topic. People often sing about controversial topics to put light and bring attention to them...that's what I do with a lot of my music."

The Lovers- "The Lovers is about two feminine creatures exploring each other physically and mentally. It's basically just about romance and commitment, and the highs and lows of it. It also touches on the stereotypical female and male relationship that is usually seen more...I think different types of relationships need to be shown just as much."

The Chariot- "The Chariot...that's about Rät's progress and them like, moving forward, on with their life. It's the promotional single (laughs). I have many plans for the music video."

Strength- "Strength is about self-control and courage just as much as physical strength. It's about Rät slowly developing mental strength as they evolve."

The Hermit- "The Hermit is about introspection and solitude. Observing the world while it changes around them."

Wheel of Fortune- "Wheel of Fortune is about good luck and change. It's about the change Rät goes through and the good luck of their new life so far."
