Kristina Bach Returns: Mallorca's Songwriter Back on TV

From retreat to stage – a familiar face returns

Sometimes you need sea air, an espresso at the harbor, and a bit of distance to see clearly again. That apparently describes Kristina Bach. The songwriter who has made a life on Mallorca for years now announces a comeback: a performance in Heidi Klum's new Schlager show is planned – and in 2026 a joint tour with fellow artists is on the calendar.

Why this is special for Mallorca

Anyone who lives here has surely seen her in a café in Palma or on the coastal road toward Banyalbufar. Bach sought peace on the island, far from pressure and show rounds. Her biggest coup, by the way, was not written on a high-tech producer couch, but in a house by the coast: the song that later became one of the biggest German Schlager hits was created quickly and surprisingly – as people who witnessed it tell.

The retreat after 2018 seemed final. After decades in the music business and after appearances in big TV shows she deliberately gave up public appearances. “I wanted to find out who I am without all the fuss,” you hear from her circle. The island helped: walks in the Tramuntana, early market visits in Sineu, and dinners with friends on small squares – it has its own rhythm.

And now back on stage?

Yes. The invitation to the TV show came from a prominent production team who see Bach as a strong voice. She is eager for a “packed women’s power” stage, says the circle – hence also the planned tour with Nicole and Claudia Jung. For many here on the island it has a homely feel: a piece of pop-cultural history that has its roots on Mallorca returns symbolically.

What to expect: Not big provocations, rather a cautious reunion. Bach has stated that she wants to enjoy the stage again – free from old constraints. Whether she performs new songs or preferred classics in new form remains open. For neighbors and fans, in any case, it is clear: Mallorca remains her retreat, even when she is again under the spotlight.

I ran into a neighbor yesterday who smiled and said: “When she sings, you can hear the waves.” Sounds cheesy? Maybe. But here on the island we believe in these little stories. And sometimes they are the best.
