Santana and Rob Thomas Reunite After 22 Years on New Song 'Move'

19 August 2021

Carlos Santana and MATCHBOX 20’s Rob Thomas have reunited after 22 years to record a brand new song called “Move.”

Just as with their hit single “Smooth,” this new collaboration features Thomas singing and Santana on guitar, serving up some crunchy guitar grooves.

“Move” is the first single off Santana’s upcoming album, Blessings and Miracles.

Following the release of his sprawling instrumental album, Africa Speaks, in 2019, Santana set out to make a more radio-friendly record. In doing so, he partnered with collaborators like Chris Stapleton, Diane Warren, G-Eazy, LIVING COLOR’s Corey Glover, METALLICA’s Kirk Hammett, and the late Chick Corea, among others.

But the biggest name found in the album credits is undoubtedly Thomas, who first struck gold with Santana with the release of “Smooth” in 1999. The song ended up spending 12 consecutive weeks at No. 1 in the US and went on to win three Grammys — including Record of the Year and Song of the Year.
