Background

After releasing her second single "Mujer Bruja", Indigo began teasing her debut studio album and revealed that it would have a concept focused in witchery. On 15 March 2019, she announced that "Akelarre" would be released in April which didn't happen because of multiple delays due to disagreements with the record label. Through her respective social networks, Lola Indigo announced on April 20 that the third single from her new album "Maldición", in collaboration with Colombian rapper Lalo Ebratt, would be released on April 26 of that same year.[2]

Music video

The music video for "Maldición" was released on April 26 and features both singers and multiple dancers jamming to the song. The videoclip features some dark scenarios, a recreation of Lucifer's throne and also shows Indigo blending the appearance of The Birth of Venus as painted by Sandro Botticelli in the 1480s decade.[3] The music video received over one milion views in its first 24 hours and was the most-bought music video on ITunes Spain for a small amount of hours.

Live performances

Indigo performed "Maldición" for the first time as part of her Indigo Tour on 27 April 2019, when she performed at the Dance Park Festival in Torrejón de Ardoz. Indigo also performed the single and on other several festivals as well as on her Akelarre Tour, which run from May to November 2019 and is set to begin a festival extension in June 2020. The song was first performed on live television on May 16 at El Hormiguero, Spain's main and most-watched late night show.[4] Indigo also sang the track at the Los40 Primavera Pop shows in Barcelona and Madrid, with the last one being aired on Divinity.[5]
