Exploring Amaia Montero's reunion with La Oreja de Van Gogh

Amaia Montero, who co-founded La Oreja de Van Gogh in 1996, left in 2007 to focus on her solo career. In 2008, Leire Martínez replaced Montero and stayed on as the band's lead singer for nearly 17 years, announcing her leave in late 2024.

According to Rolling Stone, La Oreja de Van Gogh said the band and the singer "will go down different paths" in a statement at the time, adding that the decision was made "after much time of reflection and deep conversations."

“After 17 marvelous years filled with music and emotions we’ll never forget, we’d like to announce that the professional journeys of Leire and La Oreja de Van Gogh will go down different paths."
"The decision has been hard to make, but it comes after much time of reflection and deep conversations, in which we have not managed to align our different ways of living the group. This concludes a fascinating time that we all will carry in our hearts and that has allowed us to enjoy the best profession in the world.”

Fans speculated that Amaia Montero might reunite with the band after Martínez left. Montero's performance of the band's hit Rosas when she appeared as a guest at Karol G's Madrid show last year further fuelled the rumors.

In April 2025, Cayetana Guillén Cuervo, one of Montero's friends, seemingly confirmed her reunion with the band. The incident occurred while the actress gave an interview at the Talía Awards, where she said that Montero was "excited" and "very grateful" for fans' response when she appeared on Karol G's concert, adding:

“She’s doing very well. She’s excited. She’s very cautious, but she’s very excited and very grateful for the love everyone has shown her. When she came out with Karol G, that was a wonderful thing. Spain showed her their love and they’re going to be into [Amaia’s return], right?”

On October 15, La Oreja de Van Gogh announced that Amaia Montero was returning to the band in an official statement on their website. The band also said that Pablo Benegas, another founding member, was going on hiatus. The statement added that he "will retire for a season in order to enjoy more time with his family and explore new professional challenges."
