Product Details

04375-02 Sonopress Supernatural is the eighteenth studio album by American rock band Santana, released on June 15, 1999, on Arista Records. After Santana found itself without a label in the mid-1990s, founding member and guitarist Carlos Santana began talks with Arista president Clive Davis, who had originally signed the group to Columbia Records in 1969. Santana and Davis worked with A&R man Pete Ganbarg, as Santana wanted to focus on pop and radio-friendly material. The album features collaborations with several contemporary guest artists, including Rob Thomas, Eric Clapton, Everlast, Eagle-Eye Cherry, Lauryn Hill, Dave Matthews, Maná, and CeeLo Green. Supernatural was a huge commercial success worldwide, generating renewed interest in Santana's music. It reached No. 1 in eleven countries, including the US for 12 non-consecutive weeks, where it is certified 15× platinum. The first of six singles from the album, "Smooth" featuring Matchbox Twenty singer Rob Thomas, and co-written by Thomas and Itaal Shur, was a number one success worldwide and topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 12 weeks. The next, "Maria Maria", featuring the Product G&B, was number one in the US for 10 weeks. Supernatural is Santana's best-selling album to date, the best-selling album by a Latino artist in music history, and one of the best-selling albums of all time, selling an estimated 30 million copies worldwide. At the 2000 Grammy Awards, Supernatural won nine Grammy Awards, breaking the record held by Michael Jackson's Thriller for the most honored album. These included Album of the Year, making Santana the first Latino to win the award, and Best Rock Album. "Smooth" won Song of the Year. However, the award went to Rob Thomas and Itaal Shur. Santana also won three Latin Grammy Awards including Record of the Year.[1] In 2025, it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.[2] 04375-02 SONOPRESS Includes (Da Le) Yalleo with Dave Matthews; Love of My Life with Everlast; Put Your Lights On; Africa Bamba; Smooth with Rob Thomas; Do You Like the Way with Lauryn Hill; Maria Maria; Migra with Mana; Corazon Espinado; Wishing It Was with Eagle-Eye Cherry; El Farol; the Calling with Eric Clapton. 13 tracks.
