"I was mentally shattered" - said Lola Indigo on Spanish television, a phrase that rarely comes out of the mouths of pop stars in form. Last September's career break wasn't a "production pause" or "time for creative retreat." It was burnout.

Today she returns with a new tour, "Romance de una noche de verano," starting 30 May in Granada, with a new single "El Bachatón de la L" in collaboration with Lucho RK, and for the first time talking about what actually happened.

Alongside the mental breakdown, there was a physical one. An Achilles tendon injury she hid from the public. "I'm too rough about such things," Lola Indigo says - which really means "I don't give weight to things that demand attention." That's the most common story for burnout, not what the psychologists say.

What helped her come back? Pilates. Not pills, not a coach. Pilates. "It gave me back my body, it gave me back my strength." And then travel - Brazil, Argentina, New York, Miami. Escaping the Spanish winter and the Spanish press, and finding the space where she could write a song again.

A new album is in development, with creative work happening in Miami. The set design for the tour is an Andalusian courtyard turned into a performance space - an idea she's been holding for years. "Making songs is bliss," she says with the simplicity of someone who has just remembered why music matters to her.

In Spain, when a pop star openly talks about mental health, it still makes headlines. What Lola Indigo is doing is not just about her - it's a conversation that ten years ago didn't exist in the Spanish media. Now it exists - and for that, no one needs to pay her.
