Supernatural is the eighteenth studio album by American rock band Santana, released on June 15, 1999, on Arista Records.

The album features collaborations with several contemporary guest artists, including Rob Thomas, Eric Clapton, 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.

Founder member and guitarist Carlos Santana felt the label were not giving the band any "traction and acceleration".

[4] Santana, along with band manager Greg DiGiovine and attorney John Branca, approached several labels, but they struggled to find one suitable and the guitarist recalled that some considered him too old.

In early 1997, Santana entered the studio to start on Supernatural while the contract was being finalized, but he soon had second thoughts as he recognised Davis' ability to generate hit records.

"[5][6] Santana complied and expressed his desire to produce more radio-friendly songs with strong melodies and lyrics that appealed to a broad audience.

[6] Davis wanted Supernatural to surpass the sales of the band's best selling album, Abraxas (1970), their second, by which time had sold over 4 million copies in the US.

[7] Davis wanted half the album to be "vintage Santana" in the style of their early hit song "Oye Como Va", and the other to be "the most natural" collaborations of "contemporary influences that Carlos was very much feeling."

[8] "Love of My Life" is a reworking of the third movement of Brahms’ Symphony No.3 in F major, which Carlos Santana called a "glorious piece of music".

He added that the album is "directionless" but concluded by saying "the peak moments of Supernatural are some of Santana's best music of the '90s, which does make it a successful comeback.

He goes on to say "Not everything is quite so appealing", mentioning the song, "Do You Like the Way" featuring Lauryn Hill and Cee Lo Green, saying that it "seems a bit more forced.

[17] Arista had planned for an initial shipment of 125,000 copies, but the high level of interest in the album through word of mouth caused this to rise to 210,000.

[18] However, it was removed from the chart the following week after Billboard determined that the album did not meet the linguistic requirement of having at least 50% of its tracks recorded in Spanish.

[25] Mastered by Ted Jensen Notes A "Legacy Edition" of Supernatural was released on February 16, 2010, with a new Santana-supervised remastering.
