London-based artist Ivelisse Del Carmen shares her new single, “Sin Filtro,” a hint of operatic flourish, Ivelisse is re-imagining what the genre can sound like when put through the filter of raw honesty and personal storytelling.
From the first notes, “Sin Filtro” is distinctive. She provides a familiar framework around which to build, but what fills the air above it is a dramatic violin sweep, guitar flashes, and a vocal delivery that sounds performative than confessive. Ivelisse asserts herself from a place of questioning and self-definition, turning her own questions into strength. And it’s that tension between fragility and strength that also makes the song reverberate so profoundly.
“Sin Filtro” is, as its title indicates, without filter. Instead, the record seems to be Ivelisse opening a private diary with music that bridges Latin tradition and avant-garde approach. It’s reggaeton reclaimed, redefined, and reborn through an artist refusing to water down her reality.
What makes “Sin Filtro” so compelling is its audacious duality. On the one hand, it’s club-ready, featuring a percussive backbone that keeps the body moving. On the other hand, it’s cinematic, a soundtrack for an internal journey where doubt and self-identity meet in one of the most human ways possible. Few artists are so bold as to fuse such disparate aesthetics together, but Ivelisse shows us that reggaeton can be both intimate and epic simultaneously.
On this release, Ivelisse Del Carmen establishes herself not just as an emerging figure in Latin music but also as a rule-breaking storyteller unafraid to confront expectations. “Sin Filtro” is a testament to the fact that authenticity still has a foothold in the world of mainstream sound.
