Puerto Rican powerhouse singer-songwriter, GALE (pronounced GAH-leh) effortlessly puts pen to paper the feelings that cross our minds. In her new single “Problemas,” GALE wears her heart on her sleeve. The sophomore release as a solo artist, and official music video, showcases GALE’s hypnotizing honesty and lyrics. The slow guitar build and heartstopping thumps mimic the feelings of the all too familiar toxic relationship that cycles the best ups, the worst downs, and uses make-up sex as an escape to all the relationship’s problems. 

In the official video, GALE sings with conviction, serves up her signature powerful pop melodies with a penetrating gaze, and a sick guitar solo that pays homage to early 2000s pop-punk. She presents unmistakable, empowering, and rebellious vocals, alongside an unexpected yet powerful rap bridge that sees her Puerto Rican roots take over.

Speaking on the track and its accompanying video, GALE says “I wanted to write a song inspired by being in a physical, toxic relationship where most problems are solved in the bedroom. It’s like a vicious cycle: you know it’s not good for you, but you keep coming back for the high and excitement of it. The music video is a perfect representation of it. It’s very stimulating. I’m engaging with different situations and things such as food, renaissance figures, dancing, lights and rock ‘n’ roll.”

Her previous release, “Inmadura” :: re-watch HERE :: was just as explosive, fun and brutally honest, a self-aware break-up anthem that reminds listeners to accept and embrace emotions after a relationship ends. GALE’s relatable lyrics showcase real life experiences - the love, the lust, the crush and the heartbreak, including the sometimes immaturity that follows it: “Que me digan inmadura, ya sé, va una semana que no llego a la casa, no me lo digas ya sé que estoy borracha”. (Let them call me immature, I know. It’s been a week since I’ve gone home. Don’t tell me, I know I’m drunk.)
