(CNN Spanish) -
The singer-songwriter iLe presented her most recent single "Where no one else breathes", a song that involves a personal complaint against the abuse of power.
“
Where no one else breathes
is about facing arrogance to effect meaningful change.
With this song I hope to motivate people to get involved.
Take action to confront those in power and address problems in society to truly progress.
It is the hour to give the blow to the twisted schemes, "said the singer in the press release with which she presented the song.
The single was born during the quarantine that he lived from his home in Puerto Rico and whose reason, the coronavirus pandemic, has paralyzed much of the world.
«I felt very connected to this idea with everything we are experiencing.
Also, in a certain way, (it's) like going backwards, towards the origin of all this disaster, it also has a lot to do with the abuse of power, "said iLe in an interview with Zona Pop CNN.
«That's where this song comes from, a little from that concern.
Of why we are in the place where we are beyond the pandemic, but as socially and politically.
Questioning many things that seem unfair to me, "he added.

A theme to encourage voting
The launch took place days before the presidential elections in the United States and the general elections in his native Puerto Rico.
A decision that the singer did not leave to chance.
"I think I wanted to get it out before the election, because really, everything was very connected to him now," he says.
“I felt that the energy was very high for this moment and I felt that if (the launch) happened later or more at the end of the year, I don't know if I was going to feel just as connected.
Every day they feel different, new news happens all the time and everything is altering more and more », added iLe.
The United States chooses this November 3 either the continuity of Donald Trump in the presidency or the return of Joe Biden to the White House, but this time as president.
Elections in the United States
Despite being a citizen and being one of the more than 3 million Puerto Ricans living on the island, the singer cannot vote in the country's presidential elections.
Elections that have been characterized by a tense campaign in a polarized country.
“Honestly, I'm not very convinced by either of them, so I think it would be difficult to make a decision there.
Definitely because one appears to be much worse than the other, "says the singer.
“I don't know how so many people are convinced with Trump.
(That) scares me a little.
I don't know exactly what his perspective is, but yeah, I honestly think I feel it as good, very complicated, as very difficult.
Joe Biden is definitely a better option between those two options, but he is not someone that I think convinces me at all, "explains the singer-songwriter.
Elections in Puerto Rico
In Puerto Rico, this November 3, the governor, mayors and the resident commissioner in the United States Congress are elected, a representative who has a voice but no vote.
“This electoral year feels quite crucial, because at least in my opinion, I feel that there are many more alternatives than there have been in other years.
And I do believe that there is a possibility of a change, "says the singer.
In the past, iLe has been open in her opinion to the political and social issues of Puerto Rico.
Together with his brother, Residente and Bad Bunny launched in 2019 «Sharpening knives«, a song that emerged as a result of the disclosure of the Telegram chats of former governor Ricardo Rosselló.
