Have you ever loved someone so much it hurts?

Kali Uchis, the Colombian-American singer-songwriter known for her genre-blending sensual sound, continues to captivate global audiences. With over 36.9 million monthly listeners on Spotify, 7.7 million Instagram followers, and billions of streams across platforms, her impact is undeniable.

Her career took off when “telepatía” exploded on TikTok and climbed the charts in 2021, and ever since, she’s been synonymous with themes of femininity, vulnerability, spirituality, and romance. Her latest release, “ILYSMIH” (short for “I Love You So Much It Hurts”), is another soulful entry into her growing discography—but this time, with a heartfelt twist.

True to Kali’s signature vibe, “ILYSMIH” opens with a soft, sensual soundscape. Her delicate, emotion-laced vocals float beautifully over a smooth, ambient beat. At first, the track feels like a romantic ballad—but as it unfolds, it reveals itself as a love letter to her son. Kali reflects on the transformative experience of motherhood and the deep emotional bond she feels as she starts a family.

It’s intimate, grounding, and powerful—and a must-listen for anyone who appreciates vulnerability wrapped in lush production. With “ILYSMIH,” Kali Uchis reminds us that love can hurt in the most beautiful ways.
