Carlos Santana and Matchbox 20 frontman Rob Thomas have reunited for a new single titled, “Move,” which drops on August 18th. “Move” pairs Santana and Thomas together again over two decades after 1999’s multiple Grammy-winning smash “Smooth.” The song serves as the teaser to Santana‘s upcoming album, Blessings And Miracles, set for release on October 15th.
In a statement announcing the new project, Carlos Santana said, “‘Move’ came about was very much like how ‘Smooth’ happened. It was like divine intelligence behind the scenes, and I just knew I had to record it with Rob. The song is about awakening your molecules. Ignite and activate yourself — y’know, move. When Rob and I work together, we have a sound that’s splendiferous.”
On August 25th, Santana kicks off its eight night Las Vegas residency at House Of Blues.
