Vanesa Martín is gearing up for what she hopes will be a pivotal year as 2025 approaches, with two significant projects on the horizon: her new album, titled Casa mía, and the subsequent tour across some of Spain and Latin America’s most prestigious venues. The anticipated release of her first single from the album, Objetos perdidos, on February 22, has already sparked excitement among her fans.
This new project carries the essence of Vanesa’s art, enriched by influences from Latin American music, cultivated through her extensive tours throughout the region. She collaborates with Colombian producer Casta, known for his work with big names like Manuel Turizo and Karol G. Together they explore various styles, including bachata, son cubano, mariachi, and the sevillanas.
For Casa mía, Vanesa penned 42 songs, of which twelve made the final cut. "I won’t deny I felt vertigo starting to make decisions. I thought I had completed one phase of my life and needed to reconnect with myself and those around me, with regard to my career and music," she reflected during her interview with Milenio.
Stepping out of her comfort zone was integral to this process, she conveyed. "I felt the need to face new challenges, new perspectives for my career, new goals, and new concerns. Honestly, I didn’t know if I was making the right choice, but I have never been one to keep my feet firmly planted on the ground, so I dared to jump. Today, I can say I’m grateful for what propelled me to this change." The outcome of this artistic leap has brought her peace. "I am happy; finally serene, calm, and very focused on the new things coming. I made this album with absolute freedom, respecting my origins and identity, and enriching it not only from my Spanish and Andalusian roots but also from everything I have accumulated over the years traveling through Latin America and the United States. I wanted to merge all of this with what I have been doing since I was little," Vanesa shared.
To complement her album release, the artist’s tour for 2025 has recently been unveiled, confirming stops at various major festivals and venues across Spain, as well as shows planned outside the country, including Mexico:

Born in Malaga in 1982, Vanesa has established herself as one of Spain's prominent pop artists. From the age of six, when her father gifted her first guitar, she demonstrated a deep connection to music. Though her passion for music was undeniable, she pursued higher education at the University of Malaga, graduating with degrees in Education and Pedagogy, before moving to Madrid to chase her artistic aspirations.
Earlier today, she appeared on the popular television show El Hormiguero, hosted by Pablo Motos, introducing her latest work, Casa mía. This album intends to reinforce her musical legacy, fusing her essence with rhythms like bachata, mirroring the influences she has soaked up during her tours across Latin America.
Vanesa has traditionally kept her personal life private but has recently begun opening up more about it. During her candid appearance on the podcast A solas con..., hosted by Vicky Martín Berrocal, she discussed how she discovered her sexual orientation after years of relationships with men. She treasured sharing this part of her life with her mother, facing the process with honesty.
Her most publicized romance was with journalist Mónica Carrillo, which began around 2019. While both women have maintained silence on their relationship status, Vanesa confirmed her single status again during 2022, expressing her hopes for Carrillo's happiness without elaboration.
Subsequently, Vanesa began dating Liliana Moyano, a film producer and director, with whom she contemplated relocating to Miami. More recently, reports have emerged of her brief summer fling with Brazilian influencer and dentist Bruna Bravo.
Family plays a pivotal role in Vanesa Martín’s life. Her parents, Paco and Toñi, work diligently as hospital cleaners and caretakers. Their experiences on the frontlines during the pandemic deeply impacted their daughter. Vanesa has two brothers: Francisco, who is part of her musical band as a percussionist, and Antonio, who she cherishes dearly. "I feel you are an extension of me, my little brother; you are always there for me, protecting, caring, without letting me do it for you. But I ignore your law and silently keep you safe. I love you, crazy. I wish you the best," she expressed on his birthday.
With 2025 approaching, Vanesa Martín stands at the cusp of significant professional milestones and personal growth. Her upcoming album and tour promise to redefine her career, reflecting her artistic evolution and deep personal insights gained over the years.
