The singer Amaia Montero, former vocalist of La Oreja de Van Gogh, announced today, December 31, in a message on Instagram that in 2025 she will return to music after several years away from the stage. “This 2025 I am returning to MUSIC,” he published to conclude a message addressed to his followers. Of course, he does not say at any time that it will be with his former group, La Oreja de Van Gogh.
Last July, in his appearance at the Colombian Karol G’s concert at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium in Madrid, he already promised to return “relatively soon” and two months ago he published a song, perfect stormcomposed ten years ago, during a trip to London.
The artist, 48 years old, born in the Guipuzcoan town of Irún, confirms her return through a message with phrases aimed at next year such as “from this window I can see you, you are almost here.” “Treat me well, please, because your predecessors have been very hard on me.” Message that becomes especially relevant after being away from the musical world for two years due to health problems. “Take care of me and help me because it will be under your mantle when I return to what I have missed most in these stolen years,” he asks 2025.
Montero announced in 2022 that he had a new album in the making, a publication that did not come to fruition because at the end of that year he once again left the public spotlight to take care of his health. Her musical reappearance occurred this past summer as an unexpected guest at one of the four stellar concerts with which Karol G culminated her world tour in Madrid. The positive reactions of the media and the public to that performance, in which both performed the song Rosas, of the repertoire of La Oreja de Van Gogh, speculation began about when Montero would return to activity and even if he would sing again with what was his band.
She herself said that these types of comments were beginning to affect her, especially after the unexpected departure of her successor in Van Gogh’s Ear, Leire Martínez, for reasons not yet clarified. Martínez said last October that he was leaving the band “after a long time of reflection and deep conversations” in which he had not been able to “bring together different ways of living the group.”
