	Martin's music takes on new 'Life'
		The gesture brought back images of Martin signing albums for literally thousands of fans when he was in the throes of promoting "Ricky Martin," his English-language debut, in 1999.
		Del Granado and Columbia are counting on Martin's broad appeal, but some questions remain: Even if "Life" can engage a younger demographic, many of Martin's fans are now in their 30s, and it remains to be seen whether they will like the new sound.
		Martin's edge in the Latin market comes from a solo career that spans 15 years and seven albums, of which only two have been in English.

	Ricky Martin - Life (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Martin’s latest album Life features heavy bass beats mixed with a mixture of genres depending on the song, from Latin to Indian string arrangements to Middle Eastern melodies sugared with his sensual strong voice, and swaying moves.
		The album is very filled with energy which is so typically Ricky Martin and combines a lot of different beats adding to the energetic, life embracing passionate aura of the album.
		Then there is the title track Life which is completely different, with a lot of tunes and notes dancing about that it becomes one of those songs that stick in the head just like the track This is Good, which is even more catchy with its Brazilian drums.

	Life - Ricky Martin - Song Listings
		Ricky Martin fell from grace hard with Sound Loaded, the 2000 sequel to his eponymous 1999 mainstream pop breakthrough and its hit single "Livin' la Vida Loca." Sound Loaded photocopied many of the sounds and styles of Ricky Martin, but it wasn't an exact duplicate: it was dingy, murky, and...
		In short, he tries to be a little bit of everything to everybody, which isn't a surprising reaction for a global superstar trying to both recover from a flop and to reintroduce himself after half a decade.
		On Life, you can hear him struggle with what he should do and who he should be.

		Everybody knows Ricky Martin is not the best vocalist in the world, it is his live performances and good looks that get everyone hot and bothered -- but the production on this album is very, very good, and there are some terrific melodies, especially Diane Warren's I COUNT THE MINUTES, which is superbly arranged.
		Ricky Martin was not the first nor last Latin artist to release an English speaking album but he was one of the most successful and a pioneer for others.
		Ricky Martin, Enrique Iglesias, Marc Anthony and later Shakira were artists that went from Spanish albums into Latin-Pop in English with big success.

		On its album cover, Martin tries to strike a harder, tougher pose -- he has stubble on his chin and prominently displays a tattoo on his shoulder -- and that's just one of many different attitudes he tries out on the record.
		Martin doesn't stop sampling styles there -- he does a by-the-numbers Diane Warren power ballad, dabbles in reggaeton, brings in most of the Black Eyed Peas for a track.
		It fits his status as an international superstar and it's a livelier, better record than Sound Loaded, but he never once sounds as assured as he did on his 1999 breakthrough -- the difference between that album and this is that everything seemed to come easy for Ricky Martin six years ago.

		Martin traveled to India to record the string arrangements for the album, and that influence is felt throughout the disc's 12 tracks.
		This album is a welcome return for the Latin heartthrob with the million watt smile, and is in fact his tenth album, following among others, "Sound Loaded" (2000), "La Historia" (2001), "The Best of" (2001), and "Almas del Silencio" (2003).
		People are ready to write off Ricky Martin but if you listen to this, believe me, you'll be pleasantly surprised to hear his more grown up and edgier sound.

	Album Review: Ricky Martin - 'Life' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Do not think Ricky Martin`s hip-hop-tinged single 'I Don`t Care' fully represents his first English-language album in five years.
		'Life' is a melange of styles, with hip-hop, reggaeton and dance ('Drop It on Me' features Daddy Yankee and Taboo of the Black Eyed Peas) sharing space with world beats (Middle Eastern strains in ' `Til I Get to You' and 'I Won`t Desert You') and straight-ahead pop (the ballad 'Stop Time Tonight').
		If some of it does not sound like Martin, it is because his singing is often too far back in the mix, a mistake for a voice that is so distinctive, if not extraordinary.

		This is a very strong album from ricky martin, with such an excellent range of diversity.
		Ricky Martin said he travelled the world to find new sounds for his latest album "Life" and it shows, such a diverse and exciting mix of eclectic sounds, cultures and pure danceable tunes.

	Ricky Martin: Life, October 24, 2005 - Ricky Martin, Ricky Martin Life, Robin Perez
		Much has been said that Ricky is merely following trend with his reggaeton-inspired "Drop It On Me" featuring Daddy Yankee, but this is as close as it gets to Ricky going back to his Puerto Rican roots.
		But the world music feel of Life leads you believe that Ricky is an artist who will not be easily classified simply as a Latin artist.
		Life is one album you don't want to sleep on.

	Ricky Martin Life CD
		Ricky Martin had some trouble recapturing the commercial success of his 1999 self-titled debut.
		LIFE teems with glossy, high-end production (especially the tracks helmed by Beyonce producer Scott Storch), star cameos (Fat Joe and members of Black Eyed Peas take turns on the mic), and a cornucopia of pop styles, all of which makes for an enjoyable, if somewhat uneven, listen.
		I think Ricky Martin is ahead of the music scene right now, so not many people will catch on right away.

	Ricky Martin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		A collection of Martin's biggest Spanish language hits, La Historia reaffirms that he didn't become a star just because of his good looks; tracks such as "Vuelve," "Bella (She's All I Ever Had)," and "El Amor de Mi Vida" are reminders that his singing is just as appealing as his face.
		First, the album's lead-off single, the electrifying (and terribly titled) "She Bangs" (arguably one of the best songs of 2000), which failed to make the U.S. top ten, wasn't even released as a commercial single.
		Instead, the album was re-released with a single of the song clumsily attached to it (with a rubber band, no less).

	Tower Records - Life - Ricky Martin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Martin opens the record with "Til I Get To You," an expansive, mid-tempo number with a slinky verse that gives way to an epically dramatic chorus.
		Daddy Yankee's appearance on this album is smart for both artists, allowing for each to be introduced to a different demographic.
		Should Ricky's album have any commercial significance (which I believe it will), I think it could usher in a new wave of music tinged with the same Eastern elements.
