Multi-Grammy Award-winning Rock and Roll Hall of Fame guitarist Carlos Santana has released the music video for “Joy,” the fourth song off his star-studded, masterful album, Blessings and Miracles.
“Joy” is a collaboration with acclaimed Grammy-winning musician Chris Stapleton, who also produced the soul-enriching track. Santana said:
I was very intrigued to work with Chris. We talked on the phone about the Covid situation and how there’s so much fear in the world, and I said, ‘We need to create music as a healing force. We must bring hope and courage and disinfect twisted minds infected with darkness.’ That gave him the ammunition to write such incredible words. Somewhere I said, ‘flying on the wings of angels,’ so it’s a collaboration. And what an incredible song it is. The choir in it – it’s like the Staple Singers.
In addition to “Joy,” the album’s first single “Move,” featuring Rob Thomas and American Authors, Santana’s collaboration “She’s Fire” with Diane Warren and G-Eazy, and the classic “Whiter Shade of Pale” featuring Steve Winwood
