Emerging onto the scene with ‘Las Mariposas’, London-based Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Ivelisse del Carmen crafts a deeply evocative ballad that looks to explore love’s quiet unraveling. This new release showcases her gift for weaving poetic storytelling with a sound that is somehow both melancholic and uplifting.
Built around the imagery of butterflies that no longer stir, ‘Las Mariposas’ paints an intimate portrait of a romance losing its spark, balancing heartbreak with an undeniable rhythmic energy.

Ivelisse’s music has always thrived on contrast; tender yet powerful, introspective yet expansive. Following in the footsteps of her award-winning single ‘De poco a poquito’, ‘Las Mariposas’ further cements her ability to transform personal moments into universally resonant music. With each new release, she continues to carve out a space where emotion and melody intertwine effortlessly, and this new outing is certainly no exception.
