UncutJun 6, 2014As the album Latin music fans always hoped Santana would make, Corazon doesn't disappoint. [Jul 2014, p.80]
-
May 7, 2014Some of the experiments on Corazón don't work.... Still, it's fascinating to follow Santana through his Latin journey.
-
May 6, 2014While some of these cuts are forgettable, his inventive engagement with Latin pop here is not only successful, but satisfying.
-
May 29, 2014Much of the material is by-the-numbers mainstream pop-rock, which is why the mesmeric Latin jazz groove, Yo Soy La Luz, featuring saxophonist Wayne Shorter and Santana’s drummer wife, Cindy Blackman, stands out.
-
May 12, 2014What Corazon certainly contains is a brightly recorded, punchy collection of “Latin” beats and melodies, plus some rock, featuring a handful of distinguished guests and the familiar overflying drone of Carlos’s own guitar obbligati.
-
May 6, 2014In some tracks Corazón feels like a committee crossover project.... But Corazón also finds vibrant international connections.
-
May 6, 2014Carlos Santana's signature tone meshes handsomely with Romeo Santos' breathy tenor ("Margarita") and sells even generic jams ("La Flaca," with Colombian star Juanes).

May 6, 2014Like most star collaborations, this one shoehorns in some ill-suited, name-brand guests--like Gloria Estefan and R&B’s Miguel. Santana’s glistening leads compete with, rather than complement, these artists. Some tracks feel as awkward as Match.com first dates.
