Life is the seventh studio album by Puerto Rican superstar Ricky Martin, released on October 11, 2005 (Europe) and November 15, 2005 (North America). It marked a significant artistic shift, moving away from the high-energy Latin pop and dance anthems of his earlier work (e.g., Livin’ la Vida Loca) toward a more mature, introspective, and rock-influenced sound.
