"I Am Human", the second single from ILSE's upcoming album, shows a different side of ILSE's unique story. Her sultry, otherworldly voice is transformed into one that is vulnerable, courageous, and unmistakably human. Born without her left arm, ILSE has overcome a distinct set of challenges to find her voice in today's music industry. ILSE is unafraid to be herself, and she sings about vulnerability and finding strength through love from a deeply personal perspective. In "I Am Human," ILSE recounts her determination to stay true to herself and her vision, reminding us that "standing tall" after "going through it all" is no small victory. This new single is about finding the strength to push past the obstacles despite pain and despair, because to assert oneself proudly in the face of adversity is the ultimate triumph.

This same message is depicted in the single's music video. Set in an abstract, surrealistic world, the video shows men and women of different shapes, sizes, and colors, ranging from younger to older, gay and straight, painted completely in white and moving uniformly. By the end of the song, they transform from their state of sameness to the full richness of their natural color, revealing again all of the beautiful diversity that was there in the first place. Like the song itself, the music video for "I Am Human" is about finding the courage to be different in spite of the powerful forces that stifle diversity and encourage conformity.

I AM HUMAN


You're warm but you feel cold
And you need someone to hold
You want to be strong
Just when you think you're there
You find yourself back at the start

Sometimes I try so hard just to hit the wall
I wanna fly but then I fall
I get up but I can't go on
I wanna speak and I lose my voice

I am Human, I feel small
I've been through it all
Still I stand tall

They say I should run away, run away, run away
They say I should run away, run away, run away
They say I should run away, run away, run away
But I stayed
I stayed

You work and you're still poor
You have fears that you can't show
You search for a way out
But somehow you can't seem to make it on your own

Some days nothing ends up right
You try to talk but you're in a fight
We wanna come close but we drift away
When all we need is to stay

I am Human, I feel small
I've been through it all
Yet I stand tall

They say I should run away, run away, run away
They say I should run away, run away, run away
They say I should run away, run away, run away
But I stayed
I stayed
I stay
