Legendary guitarist Carlos Santana announced that his star-studded new album titled Blessings and Miracles will be released worldwide on Oct. 15. Santana also released the first single off the album titled “Move” in conjunction with the announcement.

The single “Move” features the guitar icon teamed up again with Matchbox 20’s Rob Thomas along with the American Authors. Santana and Thomas came together in 1999 for their single “Smooth” which won multiple Grammys.


“‘Move’ came about very much like how ‘Smooth’ happened,” Santana recalls. “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 – you know, move. When Rob and I work together, we have a sound that’s splendiferous.”

Blessings and Miracles will feature a wide array of collaborations with a diverse lineup of acclaimed artists, writers and producers including Chris Stapleton, Steve Winwood, Chick Corea, Rick Rubin, Corey Glover, Kirk Hammett, Ally Brooke and Narada Michael Walden and more.

Blessings and Miracles is expected to be one of the most inspired, ambitious and mystical albums of Santana’s career, on which the legendary musician aims higher than ever before. “The title of this album comes from my belief that we’re born with heavenly powers that allow us to create blessings and miracles,” Santana said in a press release. “The world programs you to be unworthy of those gifts, but we have to utilize light, spirit and soul – they’re indestructible and immutable. Those are the three main elements on this album.”

Santana will be going on tour with Blessings and Miracles from mid-September through early October.
