Carlos Santana announces new album “Sentient”

The guitarist Carlos Santana announced his 27th studio album, called “Sentient” that will be released next March 28. The new record has special guests like Smokey Robinson, Daryl “DMC” McDaniels and the late Miles Davis and Michael Jackson. The first single “Please Don’t Take Your Love”, which is a different version of his 2009 song with Smokey Robinson, can already be heard below.

“I went to the studio and did my own thing. I said, ‘Let’s just roll it.’ I did another take with Smokey, sort of guiding me. Smokey loved them both, so he wound up combining the two. What’s on Sentient is the first version.”

“I’m always driven by passion, emotion and inner instinct. When I first heard these tracks floating around in the house, I said, ‘Why don’t we put these all in one place?’ From Stravinsky to James Brown, it’s all the same song, meaning it’s all connected to the umbilical cord of humanity and planet Earth,” Carlos Santana said.
