Ivelisse Del Carmen Shines In Stunning New Single 'Sin Filtro'

With Sin Filtro, Ivelisse Del Carmen doesn’t just release a song — she opens a wound and turns it into something symphonic.

The Puerto Rican-born, London-based artist redefines reggaeton as a mirror for emotion, trading the genre’s usual bravado for something richer, riskier, and infinitely more human. It’s a track that trembles between worlds: the pulse of the barrio and the hush of a concert hall.

From its first few bars, Sin Filtro feels cinematic — strings swelling like memory, Spanish guitar tracing the edges of confession. The percussion enters not to dominate, but to anchor, grounding Ivelisse’s soaring vocals in the soil of her heritage. You can hear her classical training in the precision of every phrase, yet it never feels academic. Instead, there’s a lived-in intensity — the kind of honesty that can only come from wrestling with oneself.

Her lyrics cut deep. “My ego, the spider, afraid to get hurt” is both poetic and plainspoken, embodying the uneasy dance between self-protection and exposure. It’s this tension that drives the song — a conversation between pride and pain, between the girl from San Juan and the woman creating her own sonic language in London. Ivelisse turns the fear of being seen into the very architecture of the music.

Stanborough’s production frames her voice like stained glass — luminous, intricate, and unafraid of shadow. The orchestral strings never drown the reggaeton drums; instead, they orbit one another in perfect dissonance, creating a soundscape that feels as vast as it is vulnerable. It’s music for movement, but also for stillness — a paradox that defines Ivelisse’s artistry.

Sin Filtro stands as a declaration of purpose. It’s Ivelisse’s most personal work, but also her most universal — a reminder that identity isn’t a fixed state, but a rhythm we return to, refine, and reclaim. In a genre long burdened by stigma, she finds sanctuary. In her voice, reggaeton sounds reborn.
