Today I am listening to the latest track from Puerto Rican songwriter Ivelisse Del Carmen, and it has been on repeat all morning. Titled “Before I’m Done,” this new single tackles the heavy feeling of jumping back into your passion after a long break. Ivelisse took some time away from music due to burnout, and you can hear that raw honesty packed into the track.
The vibe here is incredibly intimate but also feels big. Interestingly, she found inspiration in John Everett Millais’ painting Ophelia. It captures the feeling of trying to keep moving forward while still being worried about your own mental health.
What hits me hardest is the sheer vulnerability. Following her cool 2025 releases like “Las Mariposas” and “Illusion”, this track feels much more personal. I love how she balances the quiet moments with a steady strength that keeps you hooked from start to finish. It is all about resilience and finishing what you started, even when doubt creeps in. If you enjoy authentic indie music with real heart, you definitely need this on your playlist.
Make sure to find her on Instagram so you can follow her journey and see what she is working on next.
