Vida is the tenth studio album by Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi, released on February 1, 2019, through Universal Music Latin Entertainment. It is Fonsi's first album in five years,[3] and features the singles "Despacito" (both the original version and remix), "Échame la Culpa", "Calypso" (both the original version and remix), "Imposible" and "Sola".[4]

Music[]

Along with its singles, the primarily Spanish album includes "Sola", which was described as a "mid-tempo, sultry R&B tinged jam over sparse arrangements" by Billboard.[4] It includes a variety of tempos, ranging from the "up-tempo urban/pop fusions" "Despacito" and "Échame la Culpa" to the romantic ballad "Le pido al cielo".[4] Billboard named Vida one of the most anticipated albums of 2019, saying there would be "plenty of new ballads, which Fonsi sings predominantly in Spanish and delivers with an urban touch".[5]

Critical reception[]

Vida received a nomination for Best Latin Pop Album at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards.[6]
