Details: Product DescriptionMulti-platinum artist Ricky Martin returns with his new record Life which includes the new hit single ‘I Don’t Care’ that featrures Fat Joe And Amerie. Columbia. 2005.Amazon.caRicky Martin’sself-titled 1999 album made him an international crossover star, and it’s been both a blessing and a curse ever since. The Puerto Rican heartthrob became the poster boy for the much-ballyhoed Latin-pop movement, and he paved the way for English-language albums from Paulina Rubio, Thalia and Shakira. At the same time, Martin’s processed pop recordings quickly lost favor at radio, and he seemed destined to become a musical footnote.Life finds the charismatic singer exuding a newfound confidence and showcasing some much-needed musical diversity. Martin traveled to India to record the string arrangements for the album, and that influence is felt throughout the disc’s 12 tracks. Middle Eastern accents embellish tracks « Til I Get To You » and « I Won’t Desert You, » and groovy first single « I Don’t Care » adds guest vocals from Fat Joe and soulful songbird Amerie for some street cred. Vocally, Martin sounds better than ever; he pushes his modest voice past its normal limit to match the intensity of the music. And like any good pop icon looking to maximize airplay, Martin dabbles in reggaeton during « Drop it On Me » and the Luny Tunes Mix of « Que Mas Da (I Don’t Care). »Life may be the sound of an artist still looking for his individual sound, but it’s a pretty enjoyable ride nonetheless.–Joey Guerra
