MIAMI (6 de marzo del 2019) – iLe ha lanzado su nuevo sencillo y video “Temes” disponible hoy en todas las plataformas digitales.
“Temes” presenta un cuestionamiento sombrío y directo del machismo. El video fue filmado en Puerto Rico bajo la dirección de su hermana Milena Pérez Joglar quien hace su debut como directora con este video.
En él se revela una historia de agresión dolorosa. Ella redefine el machismo como una expresión psicológica del miedo.
“La canción ‘Temes‘ no tiene nada que ver con el romance”, explica iLe. “En cambio, es un bolero desafiante que expone uno de los puntos ciegos más oscuros del patriarcado: el ‘machismo’ es más que una expresión de poder, es una reacción de miedo débil y horrorosa“.
“Un bajo fuerte y una guitarra calmante son seguidos por un solo de órgano, que marca el camino hacia una canción que pretende bailar a través de la dura realidad que aún vivimos y esperamos transformarla“.
“Temes” es la continuación al sencillo “Odio” de iLe, Estas dos canciones serán parte del segundo álbum de iLe como solista. Su primer álbum “iLevitable” fue aclamado por el New York Times, Fader, NPR , Rolligstone entre otros.

MIAMI (March 6, 2019) – iLe has released a new single/video “Temes” available today at all digital music stores.
“Temes” presents a somber, direct questioning of machismo. In the video directed by Milena Pérez Joglar, intimate camera shots reveal a story of painful aggression. iLe questions – point blank – “why do you fear me?” She redefines machismo as a psychological expression of terror.
“The song ‘Temes’ has nothing to do with romance,” iLe explains. “Instead it is a defiant bolero that exposes one of patriarchy’s darkest blind spots: ‘machismo’ is more than an expression of power, it is a weak and horrifying reaction of fear.”
“A strong bass and soothing guitar followed by an organ solo, leading the way to a song that intends to dance one through the rough reality we are still living and hopefully transform it.”
“Temes” follows iLe‘s single “Odio” which was described last year by Pitchfork as “A protest song in the most righteous tradition.” These two tracks preview iLe‘s sophomore album which will be released this spring. The album is the follow-up to her GRAMMY® winning solo debut ‘iLevitable‘ which was acclaimed in The New York Times, The FADER, NPR and more.
“Odio” looks at how we can all kill the hate that destroys us. “We are still manipulated by the hate that we feed,” iLe says. “If we want to live in a world guided by love, we have to make the effort to look within, and be willing to find ourselves in our fellow human beings.”
The official “Odio” music video recreates an important moment in Puerto Rican history – the Cerro Maravilla massacre and government cover-up of 1978. Cerro Maravilla is widely considered to be one of the biggest assassination cover-ups by the Puerto Rican and U.S. governments in which two young pro-independence activists were murdered in a police ambush.
