Carlos Santana, the legendary guitarist and multiple Grammy Award winner, has announced the release of his passionate new album, Sentient. Set to premiere on March 28 through Candid Records, the album is currently available for pre-order. Sentient is a compilation that spans Santana's illustrious career, showcasing 11 outstanding tracks, including three that are previously unreleased. True to Santana's ethos, the selection of songs is driven by passion, emotion, and instinct.

For Santana enthusiasts and new listeners alike, the first released single is a must-hear. It's a re-envisioned version of Smokey Robinson's “Please Don't Take Your Love,” originally featured in Robinson's 2009 album, “Time Flies When You're Having Fun.” This revamped track sees Robinson's vibrant vibrato combined with Santana's soul-stirring guitar performances, offering listeners a fresh and emotionally charged rendition. As Santana recalls, his approach to the song was intuitive, simply entering the studio and expressing himself through his guitar, with Robinson melding two takes to create a new masterpiece.

Beyond its tantalizing partnerships, Sentient includes unique renditions of pieces like Michael Jackson's “Stranger in Moscow,” recorded live with drummer and producer Narada Michael Walden's band. This interpretation, considered a masterclass in musical performance, showcases Santana's ethereal guitar work while embodying Jackson's mesmerizing influence. Another highlight from the album is “Get On,” a jazz-groove piece from Paolo Rustichelli's “Mystic Man,” featuring  the legendary trumpeter Miles Davis.

Santana's influence in the music industry is monumental, reflecting decades of innovation and dedication. With Sentient, Santana not only celebrates his own artistic journey but also the impact of his collaborations. The upcoming “Oneness” tour, starting in April and spanning several US cities before venturing to Europe, provides fans worldwide the opportunity to engage with Santana's dynamic live performances. The European leg of the tour begins in June, featuring shows in major cities such as Lodz, Glasgow, Berlin, and London, before concluding in Copenhagen. These performances promise to mirror the album’s intent: a celebration of art that knows no boundaries.
