The essential guitarist returns with his 26th studio album. 'Blessings And Miracles', this new 15-track opus features many prestigious guests such as Diane Warren, Chris Stapleton, Kirk Hammett, and G-Eazy. For the occasion, he 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 albums of his rich career. There are thrilling feats of musical bravery 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 supported by the punchy vocal talents of American Authors (especially Zac Barnett of the band, who takes the lead on the second verse). Santana matches these supreme performances as only he can, with scintillating solos that explode with tectonic force. On the second single, "She's Fire", a hypnotic and soulful ballad that works its way into your body's chemistry, Santana wraps his exquisite guitar melodies in and around a seductive narrative spun by rapper G-Eazy — a collaboration like a conversation, and truly captivating. Santana teamed up with country titan Chris Stapleton on "Joy", a rewarding wonder that blends country, reggae, blues, and gospel with a big-screen sing-along chorus. And on "America for Sale", a gritty, snarling blues-metal killer, the guitarist is joined by Death Angel singer Marc Osegueda and Metallica axeman Kirk Hammett. Anyone expecting mind-blowing guitar voodoo will not be disappointed.
