Ricky Martin is Back with New Album
(AP)— Ricky Martin is back
with a new album he hopes will
sway those who wrote him off
as a one-hit wonder.
Martin’s 1999 smash hit,
“Livin' La Vida Loca" sold 15
millions copies worldwide, but
his 2000 follow up, “Sound
Loaded" dropped to 4 million.
His latest, “Alm as del
Silencio” (Souls of Silence), hits
stores Tuesday. It’s the first
Spanish-language album for
Martin, 31, in five years. It’s
also more introspective than
much of his recent work.
“I really needed to go back to
my focus, to my center, to the
beginning,” said Martin, who got
his start 20 years ago as a child
star in the Puerto Rican teen
group Menudo. “I had the need
to search within, and really dig
deep, and find those emotions
that, because of the adrenaline
and the euphoria that I lived for
a couple o f years, were prob­
ably sabotaged.”
Asfor“Livin’ La Vida Loca,”
Martin said he doesn’t miss it at
all: “I lived it. I loved it. But it’s
the past.”
