It’s another night for Ricky Martin…

The 50-year-old Puerto Rican superstar has released his latest single “Otra Noche en L.A.” via Sony Music Latin.

The evocative ballad, which features a hint of a shuffle beat that invites you to dance, is a love note to both a lover gone and the city of Los Angeles that binds him to them.

For those of us who’ve lived in LA, the allure is irresistible. For those who haven’t, the beat and the lyrics (“I’ll admit, I haven’t written to you in a long time, perhaps because I’m a coward; but today I woke up, with you in my mind”) will do the trick.

With the help of writers like Keytin, Martin veered from the stereotypical reggaetón beat and gave his ballad movement with a soft rock beat and almost doo-wop background vocals for an overall cool/retro vibe that stands out from other releases and is impregnated with emotion.
