* BilingualBonus: [[https://www.instagram.com/p/Bczjam0DckY/?hl=en&taken-by=arca1000000 Her logo,]] which is the Amharic word for "Kelela", that also means "protection" in the language.
* DerangedAnimation: The video for "Frontline", which takes a [[VideoGame/{{TheSims}} Sims]]-like aestethic to tell a surreal tale about a break-up.
* DreamTeam: She's collaborated with people like [[Music/{{DannyBrown}} Danny Brown]], Solange, [[Music/{{Gorillaz}} Gorillaz]], [[Music/{{Arca}} Arca]] and many others.
* LyricalDissonance: Usually found in her music, like for example on "Enough", an upbeat albeit experimental track that's about the decay of a relationship.
* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: Her music is R&B without a doubt, but heavily influenced by club music of all kinds. On her debut album, ''Take Me Apart'', she takes influences from art pop, ambient and even orchestral music.
* SurrealMusicVideo: The ones for "A Message" and "Blue Light".
* TextlessAlbumCover: ''Hallucinogen''
