Their fifth studio album A las cinco en el Astoria featured a new vocalist: Leire Martínez. Four singles were released from the album.

On September 13, 2011 the band released Cometas por el cielo . The two first singles, "La Niña que Llora en tus Fiestas" and "Cometas por el Cielo", reached the top 20 in Spain and Latin America. [6] [7] Two live albums would be released in the five-year gap that followed before the next studio album: Cometas Por el Cielo: En Directo Desde America (2011) and Primera Fila (2013). Then in 2016 the band would release El planeta imaginario , which again topped the Spanish charts [7] and reached number 2 in Mexico. [6] Singles such as "Verano", "Diciembre", and "Estoy Contigo" were released to promote it. In 2020, the band released their eight studio album and Spanish chart-topper [7] Un susurro en la tormenta , marking a milestone for vocalist Leire Martinez, who by then had reached the same number of studio albums released with the group as Amaia Montero, and had surpassed her in years as active part of the band. Martínez later left the band in October 2024, after serving as the band's vocalist for over sixteen years.
