Ricky's back - still Livin' La Vida Loca - after the huge phenomenon he created with his English debut. And Ricky mania won't be going anywhere anytime soon, now that he's released Sound Loaded. The first single She Bangs is a very catchy, hip-swivelin' tune with Ricky's trademark Latino sound and style. The Spanish version of the single is also included on the CD which is composed in English and Spanish with Middle Eastern hooks, flamenco guitars and horns.

The song Loaded makes me want to slam a piņata, jump on a plane and kick my shoes off on a Mexican dance floor. The disc isn't just a bunch of hip-shakers though - a passionate Ricky slows it down on ballads like Saint Tropez, Come To Me and The Touch. If you want an album that lifts your spirits and makes you shake your booty then Sound Loaded is the one for you.
