Soltera
Luis Alfonso
Empowered and Independent: The Anthem of the Modern Single Woman
Luis Alfonso's song "Soltera" is a vibrant celebration of female independence and empowerment. The lyrics tell the story of a woman who is tired of being undervalued and objectified by men who only see her as a means to have fun. She is financially independent, confident, and no longer interested in superficial relationships. This woman is portrayed as someone who has taken control of her life, making her own decisions without needing validation or support from anyone else.
The recurring theme of being 'soltera' (single) is not depicted as a state of loneliness or incompleteness but rather as a choice that allows her to live life on her own terms. The lyrics emphasize her autonomy and freedom, highlighting that she can buy whatever she wants and go wherever she pleases without waiting for anyone. This is a powerful message in a society that often pressures women to find a partner to feel complete or successful.
The song also touches on the frustration with men who try to impress her with material possessions, which she finds unimpressive and shallow. Instead, she finds joy and contentment in her own company and the freedom to choose her companions as she wishes. The use of colloquial language and references to smoking 'kripa' (a slang term for marijuana) adds a layer of authenticity and relatability, painting a picture of a modern woman who is unapologetically herself. "Soltera" is an anthem for all single women, encouraging them to embrace their independence and live life to the fullest without societal constraints.
