Ricky Martin's self-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.
