Vida is Fonsi's first album in five years,[2] and features the singles "Despacito" (both the original version and remix), "Échame la Culpa", "Calypso" (both the original version and remix), "Imposible" and "Sola".[3] Commercially the album sold over one million copies in the United States, topping the Billboard Top Latin Albums.

Background and composition

[edit]

After the ninth studio album 8 published in 2014, Fonsi started working on the next project.[4] In 2017 he published "Despacito" with Daddy Yankee, witch topped the charts of 47 official charts and won four Latin Grammy Awards, including for Record of the Year and Song of the Year.[5] The same year Fonsi published "Échame la Culpa" with Demi Lovato witch reached number one in sixteen countries charts worldwide.[6]

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.[3] 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".[3]
