Ricky Martin - PLAY (2022) Hi-Res

Ricky Martin started recording his eleventh studio album, initially titled Movimiento, in the second half of 2019, inspired by the 2019 political protests in Puerto Rico. While, because of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent personal experiences, Martin decided to split the album Movimiento into the two EPs Pausa and Play. He released Pausa in May 2020.The EP was nominated for Album of the Year and won Best Pop Vocal Album at the 21st Annual Latin Grammy Awards. On July 13, 2022, Martin surprise-released Play for digital download and streaming.[6] He wrote about it on Twitter:

Making music, selecting the songs, and sharing them with you is my passion. I have been doing it for 38 years and your reaction is, without a doubt, the motivation that drives me forward on this complex journey called life. I don't want to wait any longer. Here is a surprise release of my new music for you with love. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it.
