Singer and actor Ricky Martin - Zuma / Starface

By his own admission, Ricky Martin had never faced such anguish during his existence. The coronavirus pandemic has got the better of his mental health. “I had never suffered from anxiety when I left home at 12 years old (to join the boy band Menudo). I saw things, I lived, but there it is another level, a new monster which, on top of all, is invisible, "declared the singer during an interview granted to the Associated Press via Zoom .

After two weeks of anxiety that paralyzed him, the artist managed to regain his senses thanks to the music. Pausa , his new surprise EP released this week, results from this particularly "introspective" period.

When the party comes back

This is the first half of a more ambitious and above all more festive project called Play and on which Ricky Martin has been working for a long time. The interpreter of Livin'la Vida Loca told himself that the moment was badly chosen to release an album of this tone, so he broke it down into two parts.

“I said“ Sony (its label), let's divide the album in half. Let's start with something calm and we'll bring the party later. ” What I'm presenting, these four songs, are the result of those magical things that happened during the confinement, like calling Sting or talking to Carla Morrison, ”added Ricky Martin.
