Ricky Martin "Musica + Alma + Sexo"

The same guy that wrote a song comparing a girl to dynamite proclaiming that she bangs came out that he was homosexual in 2010; I applaud him considerably because that is not an easy thing, especially when you are widely known. Ok, no "Mas" let's just get to the music; the first song sounds like it may be played during a mild sandstorm, but inside the safety of a discotheque. Winsin and Yandel are far from "Frio" and actually warm up the latin-violin assisted tragedy that is unfolding here, or what sounds like it. Anyways, the next song's reggae influence not only sounds a lot happier, but reads happier too. If it is not love today, there is always tomorrow, he basically says in one of the lines, and I don't think any woman or man would be offended if they heard "Lo Mejor De Mi Vida Eres Tu" from their lover's lips; that is a pretty big compliment. Even if this duet is with Natalia Jiminez was a good choice in this duet, and a little detail like that matters not.The song is better that way and may be more relatable to a wider base, but the emotion is not lost even if he loves someone else.  I will tell you that "Te Vas" is not afraid to fly even if the person listening may be afraid. 'Tu Y Yo' es bonita, y a pasar de las pruebas de un relacion . The song is made for those who believe that no one cares. A beautiful song with flamenco, flute, and gripping latin arpeggios; la dura realidad that is revealed by the lyrics is tragic enough, but you cannot help "Cantame Tu Vida" when you hear this song. Another addictive arrangement accompanies another tragic tale, but this time it is one of obsession and a heart-y hunter who's only solace would be to capture his addiction; with arms wide open wrapping his prey in love. 'Te Busco y Te Alcanzo," pero no se debilitara la determinacion del cazador. la siguente cancion "Sera Sera," o podria el himino ode la Copa del mundo. It is very uplifting, inspirational, and seems to reinterpolate a song I have heard somewhere, but played by guitar which sounds perfect for a stadium. The next song's organ and rock edge, or the whole album, should be met with critical acclaim. Seriamente, "No Te Miento!" There is only so much that one can take before one shouts, or sings, "Basta Ya!" What else would this song be accompanied with other than a string section made to tear yours, a piano to let you know that it might be a jerker, and Martin's distinct delivery. "The Best Thing About Me is You" is not the only English language version on this record. Hay es Mas, like the English-language version of the aforementioned track, renamed "Shine." Then There is a remix of a song so "Frio,'"still in same language, but that does not stop one from being able to enjoy it. This album was much better than expected, and after that secret was revealed it seems that a big weight was lifted off Martin's shoulders able to produce a record increible!!!
