★荣获六座葛莱美奖、八座世界音乐奖、十座告示牌音乐奖，全球超过7000万张销量，拉丁天王1999年第五张录音室专辑 ★专辑全球创下多张白金专辑销售纪录，空降全美告示榜冠军，令瑞奇马汀成为史上第一位空降告示榜冠军专辑之拉丁裔男艺人 ★专辑收录全球20多国冠军、瑞奇马汀个人首支全美冠军--拉丁神曲“Livin’ La Vida Loca” Puerto Rican superstar Ricky Martin's self-titled first English-language album is a triumph of an omnivorous world-pop sensibility--but more important is that at its best, it's a real kick. The first single, "Livin' la Vida Loca," employs a revved-up ska tempo to praise a girl whose "lips are devil red [and] skin's the color of mocha." Martin is no less irresistible on the disc's other uptempo numbers, such as "Spanish Eyes," "The Cup of Life" (the 1998 World Cup theme which with he stole the Grammy telecast a few months before this CD's release), and the Soul Coughing-indebted "Shake Your Bon Bon." Ricky Martin loses momentum with its draggier ballads--even the much-touted Madonna duet, "Be Careful (Cuidade con Mi Corazon)," doesn't spark--but overall, it deserves its inevitable multiplatinum success.
