Get ready, MJ fans! Legendary guitarist Carlos Santana is set to release his highly anticipated retrospective album, Sentient, on March 28 via Candid Records—and it’s packed with thrilling moments honoring the King of Pop himself! Pre-orders are available now!
Spanning an extraordinary six-decade career, Santana has enchanted audiences with his signature fusion of rock, blues, jazz, and Latin rhythms. Sentient brings together 11 stunning tracks, including rare and previously unreleased recordings, remastered to create a fresh and captivating listening experience.
For Michael Jackson fans, this album is a must-have! Sentient includes a breathtaking live instrumental rendition of MJ’s beautiful Stranger in Moscow. Santana’s guitar mastery brings the song’s raw emotion to life, capturing the same magic that made Michael’s original version so unforgettable.
And that’s not all! The album also revisits Whatever Happens, MJ’s soulful and powerful collaboration with Santana from Invincible. This Latin-infused gem remains a fan favorite, and hearing it in the context of this new album makes it even more special.
Other highlights include a fresh take on Smokey Robinson’s Please Don’t Take Your Love, a dynamic duet with Cindy Blackman Santana titled Coherence, and star-studded collaborations with music icons like Miles Davis and Paolo Rustichelli.
Santana himself describes Sentient as a deeply personal journey through his musical legacy. “I can listen to this album and go, ‘Did this really happen?’” he reflects. Yes, Carlos—it did, and we’re so glad it did!
