Lyrics:

Man its a hot one
Like seven inches from the midday sun
I hear you whispering the words melt everyone
But you stay so cool
My Munequita, my Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa
You're my reason for reason
The step in my groove

And if you said this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
Cause your so smooth

And its just like the ocean under the moon
Well that's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You've got the kind of lovin that could be so smooth
Give me your heart make it real
Or else forget about it

Well I'll tell you one thing
If you would leave it be a crying shame
In every breath and every word
I hear you calling me out
Out from the barrio, you hear my rhythm on your radio
You feel the turning of the world so soft and slow
Turning you round and round

Santana
Supernatural
(Arista)

Latin rock forefather Carlos Santana has been a stranger to the studio for the last seven years, refraining from cutting new music since 1992's Milagro. Not that he's been completely absent from the music scene. In the interim he's released an excellent box set, Dance of the Serpent, and Legacy recently remastered and reissued the band's first three -- OK, let's call them definitive -- Santana albums.

The guitarist's long-awaited return, while not in the same sublime league as those first three records, (few rock recordings are), does indeed provide us with several good reasons for celebration.

Supernatural features performances by Dave Matthews, Everlast, and folks from the Fugees camp, among others. It is an excellent return to form, with enough rock rip and Latin overtones to remind us of those early '70s glory days and enough '90s firepower to bring Mr. Santana right up to date.

Rolling Stone Review

At first glance, Supernatural -- Carlos Santana's first album for Arista -- looks like a record that's been A&R'ed and special-guested to death. Certainly the label's president, Clive Davis, has taken his well-established multiproducer, star-studded approach to revitalizing the veteran guitar great's career. Supernatural features contributions from Dave Matthews, Wyclef Jean, Everlast, Lauryn Hill, Eagle-Eye Cherry, Matchbox 20's Rob Thomas, Mexican rockers Maná and Eric Clapton -- everybody but Britney Spears and Meat Loaf.

So how come most of it sounds so damn good? The truth of the matter is, it's been too long since Carlos Santana delivered a new studio album worthy of his awesome gifts, and for whatever reasons, all the high-profile attention he receives here appears to have reinvigorated his muse. Eclectic, lively and only occasionally goofy, Supernatural offers a glossy but winning context of musical fusion that highlights Santana's unique ability to make that guitar of his cry expressively.

Likely to get a lot of the early notice is "Love of My Life," a lilting, romantic little gem that finds Matthews sounding extremely Peter Gabriel-like and Santana answering back, playing with seasoned taste and passion. "Smooth" is a surprisingly spicy number that finds Rob Thomas rising to the soulful occasion. Not everything is quite so appealing. "Do You Like the Way" -- featuring Hill and Cee-Lo of Goodie Mob -- seems a bit more forced, but fellow Fugee Wyclef Jean serves Santana admirably on the funky "Maria Maria." Also strong is the Dust Brothers-assisted "Wishing It Was," in which Eagle-Eye Cherry inhabits a subtly updated Santana sound with considerable ease. "Corazón Espinado" -- with Maná -- is a similarly organic delight. Other tracks, like the opening "(De Le) Yaleo," prove that Santana remains supernaturally graceful without too much help from anyone. Who could begrudge such an enduring guitar god another big, star-studded shot at living la vida loca? (RS 816-817)

Review from someplace....I forgot...?

Clive Davis first signed Carlos Santana to Columbia Records more than 30 years ago, and now the two are reunited as co-producers on Supernatural, Santana's Arista debut. Santana retains his unique salsa-blues-rock style along with his stunning guitar abilities. Santana also adds such prominent guests as Dave Matthews, Lauryn Hill, Everlast, Eric Clapton, and Eagle-Eye Cherry to his spiritual mix.
