Blessings And Miracles

Description

The indispensable guitarist returns with his 26th studio album. Blessings And Miracles, this new 15-track release features many prestigious guests such as Diane Warren, Chris Stapleton, Kirk Hammett and G-Eazy. For the occasion, it also reunites Santana with his most famous collaborator, Rob Thomas. Pure Santana! On Blessings and Miracles, the music legend and guitar master Carlos Santana delivers one of the most ambitious, inspired and magical records of his rich career. There are thrilling feats of musical bravado that pair the guitar master with other icons like Chick Corea and Steve Winwood, knockout rockers with Kirk Hammett of Metallica and Corey Glover of Living Colour, and hook-filled celebrations with Rob Thomas, Chris Stapleton, G-Eazy, American Authors and Ally Brooke, among others. The album’s first single, "Move", is the long-awaited reunion of Santana and Matchbox 20 singer Rob Thomas, and it’s a sensation. Thomas is dynamic and magnetic, and he is skillfully backed by the punchy vocal talents of American Authors (especially Zac Barnett from the band, who takes the lead on the second verse). Santana matches these supreme performances as only he can, with shimmering solos that explode with tectonic force. On the second single, "She's Fire", a hypnotic and soulful ballad that works its way into the chemistry of your body, Santana wraps his exquisite guitar melodies in and around a seductive narrative spun by rapper G-Eazy - collaboration as conversation, and truly captivating. Santana teamed up with country titan Chris Stapleton on "Joy", an enriching marvel that blends country, reggae, blues and gospel with a big-screen singalong chorus. And on "America for Sale", a snarling blues-metal bruiser, the guitarist is joined by Death Angel singer Marc Osegueda and Metallica axe man Kirk Hammett. Anyone expecting jaw-dropping guitar voodoo will not be disappointed.
