"The Game Of Love" (w/ Michelle Branch) won the 2003 Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals.On Santana's second Arista album, SHAMAN, the formula that turned its predecessor into a multi-platinum comeback machine is still fully operational. Once again, Carlos and his band of semi-regulars play backup to a revolving door of hit-making lead singers. Consequently, the album is a mixed, multi-format bag of great singles, each of which feature lots of Carlos's distinctive lead guitar (placed appropriately high in the mix). This time out there's even more variety than on SUPERNATURAL. Apparently not satisfied with simply crossing over, album co-producer Clive Davis ambitiously brokered an album that attempts to snare record buyers of every conceivable type. To this end, SHAMAN includes not only Latin, R&B, rap, and rock tracks, but also features grunge, classical and Nu Metal. Amazingly, the record is much more cohesive than would seem possible. In fact, the overall sound is so contemporary and radio-ready, only the straight Santana-style tracks seem out of place. SHAMAN is one thing for sure: a stunning pop record.
