Almas del Silencio was Ricky Martin's return to Spanish-language music, and he opened it up to a wide roster of Latin writer-producers led by Tommy Torres. The songs came from names like Franco De Vita, Juanes, Alejandro Sanz, and Ricardo Arjona, with Martin co-writing just one track, 'Nadie Más Que Tú.' Three singles reached No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart. The album confirmed that even on home turf, his strength was curating and interpreting other writers' work.
Ricky Martin's seventh album and his first in Spanish since Vuelve, out in May 2003. He scrapped a planned English record five months before release, saying he needed to go back to his center after years of crossover adrenaline, and asked songwriters for material about missing Puerto Rico and the simpler things. Tommy Torres led the production, and the songs came from Franco De Vita, Juanes, Alejandro Sanz, and Ricardo Arjona. It entered the Billboard 200 at number 12, the highest debut by any Spanish-language album in the SoundScan era to that point, and has sold more than two million copies worldwide.
