London-based Puerto Rican artist Ivelisse del Carmen delivers an emotionally charged and visually ambitious statement with new single ‘Before I’m Done’, a soaring pop release rooted in exhaustion, resilience and self-preservation.
Beneath its energetic production and euphoric momentum, the track functions as a deeply personal letter to herself; confronting burnout, overextension and the fear of losing yourself while constantly pushing forward. However, ‘Before I’m Done’ reframes vulnerability as strength, balancing emotional honesty with a sense of determination and renewal.
The accompanying self-directed video pushes the project even further creatively. Inspired by Ophelia by John Everett Millais, the visual reimagines themes of stillness and emotional surrender through four immersive environments designed and physically built by the artist herself. The result feels cinematic, surreal and intensely personal, expanding the emotional landscape of the song far beyond a standard pop visual.
With its blend of emotional vulnerability, cultural depth and bold creative vision, ‘Before I’m Done’ positions Ivelisse del Carmen as an artist unafraid to build entirely on her own terms.
