Ricky Martin is giving his fans a
preview of his upcoming duet with Joss Stone.
Martin tweeted on Thursday to his
nearly 2 million followers: “My new single in English 'The Best
Thing About Me Is You' a duet with the incredible @JossStone.”
The tweet includes a link to his
website, RickyMartinMusic.com,
where listeners can hear 30-second previews of the song in English
and Spanish. In the Spanish version, Martin is accompanied by former
Quinta Estacion star Natalia Jimenez.
Desmond Child, who is producing the
album, told BlackBook.com
in September that Martin's coming out gay has “unleashed” his
creativity.
In talking about the upcoming album,
Child said: “I'm really excited about the music, the content,
because since he's come out it's unleashed his creativity and the
scope of what he can sing about and say and do. … Once he opened
that door, a floodgate of energy and creativity just really
exploded.”
The thirty-eight-year-old Martin,
father of twin boys Valentino and Matteo, is expected to discuss more
about his decision to come out gay in his upcoming memoir Me,
set to hit bookstores on November 2.
