When you buy a Carlos Santana album, you know exactly what you’re getting! On Welcome album, Carlos Santana have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. It’s natural for Carlos Santana to take a stab at ‘Going Home’ considering her long-professed love for Paul Oakenfold. Welcome is the best essence of Carlos Santana.
I like Love, Devotion & Surrender because it’s extremely catchy and has awesome drumming. Album opener Samba De Sausalito is a bright, upbeat ditty. When I Look Into your Eyes is a very good song maybe surprisingly better than you at first might’ve imagined. Yours Is The Light is the album’s biggest hit, I think. After you’ve listened to Mother Africa, most everything else can’t hold up and is second rate. Light Of Fire is a great opener for Welcome. Flame-Sky is a bit of a show-tune. I’ve found myself listening to Welcome back to back and back many times.
