0:15

listening to a song called Smooth.

0:18

Really excited to dive back into

0:19

Santana. His music so far has been

0:22

really awesome to listen to and I've

0:24

reaction. All right, you guys, this is

0:41

Santana, Smooth. Let's get started.

1:07

Ooh.

1:09

Spicy already.

2:29

>> I'm not Oh, okay. Featuring Rob Thomas.

2:32

I was literally about to say I don't

2:34

know who the singer is. I still don't

2:35

know who the singer is. This is my first

2:37

time hearing about Rob Thomas. But, um

2:41

he complements uh Santana's music and

2:44

Santana's guitar really well. Um I

2:47

actually really like his voice. I dig

2:48

it. But, Santana and that riff, it's so

2:52

sultry. It's so spicy. It just has I

2:55

don't know. His music just has so much

2:56

flavor to it. The way he's behind that

2:59

guitar and the notes he's able to play

3:01

and

3:02

the music we're able to hear and

3:04

everything, it just hits so different. I

3:07

love it. He definitely has such a

3:10

beautiful Latin flavor to his sound. And

3:12

this song is so vibey. This song is very

3:15

fun to dance to. Um really fun music

3:18

video as well. But yeah, I really enjoy

3:20

the Latin elements in this music so

3:22

much. I mean, the electric guitar is the

3:24

electric guitar and it sounds

3:25

incredible, but he is able to make it

3:27

his own and I feel like you can tell

3:30

when Santana is behind that guitar and

3:32

playing it. So good. So, let's continue.

3:36

>> [music]

3:41

[music]

3:42

>> He definitely has a signature sound.

3:53

>> [music]

4:00

[music]

4:06

[music]

4:18

[music]

4:19

>> I do see what band Rob Thomas is in.

4:27

>> [music]

4:31

[music]

4:39

[music]

4:47

>> Oh, baby. [music]

4:54

>> [music]

5:06

[music]

5:15

[music]

5:20

[music]

5:30

>> That riff

5:31

>> [music]

5:32

>> That riff is lovely.

5:37

>> [music]

5:51

>> Rob Thomas must be a rock star.

5:56

Rob Thomas kind of reminds me of like a

5:59

lead singer from a band like Creed or

6:02

Three Days Grace or something. I need to

6:04

look up to see what band he is in

6:06

because he definitely must be the lead

6:07

singer for a band similar

6:10

to that vein.

6:12

Um

6:12

he he gives me the same style and aura

6:16

of someone who is a lead singer in a

6:17

band like that. Okay, so looks like Rob

6:19

Thomas is from Tabitha's Secret and then

6:23

Matchbox Twenty, which I have heard of

6:26

Matchbox Twenty, but I've never listened

6:28

to their music. I don't believe I have.

6:30

Um yeah, I don't know. I'm I don't know

6:33

if I've ever heard his voice before.

6:34

Maybe in passing, I don't know. I don't

6:36

know Matchbox Twenty's music, but

6:38

regardless, he sang this song very well.

6:41

I really liked his voice, but

6:44

Santana, baby. Santana, baby. I love how

6:47

the song is called Smooth because that's

6:49

exactly what the guitars sounded like.

6:51

It sounded so smooth. It sounded so

6:54

lovely, so good. And that guitar riff um

6:58

throughout the whole song, the dun dun

7:00

dun dun I I can't do it. Sorry. But you

7:03

know what I'm talking about. It's just

7:04

so good. The way that he plays it, oh my

7:07

gosh. It's so sultry. It's so smooth

7:10

again. I love it. I wonder how this

7:13

combination came about, like Santana and

7:16

Rob Thomas. I feel like it's such an

7:18

interesting combination, but it works.

7:21

It works really well. I mean,

7:23

they sounded fantastic together. I feel

7:25

like Rob's voice didn't take away from

7:27

the majesticness and mastery of

7:30

Santana's guitar. And just the music

7:32

itself, it blended so well. It was so

7:34

seamless and just a great combination. I

7:37

thought they complemented each other so

7:38

well. And yeah, Santana, I feel like he

7:41

his his guitar playing is so signature.

7:44

Like he definitely has a signature sound

7:46

behind his playing and he he's just able

7:50

to add this Latin flavor to his music

7:53

that is so cool to me. His music has so

7:56

much rhythm. It has so much vibe to it.

7:58

It's music you can dance to. It's music

8:01

you can chill out to. It's it's so

8:03

versatile and so fun. But yeah, it's

8:06

just smooth, baby. I I couldn't think of

8:08

a a more perfect name for this tune than

8:11

Smooth. This was truly smooth. It was

8:14

fantastic. And Santana is truly one of a

8:16

kind. I just really love his sound. I

8:20

love how he is in this video, too. You

8:21

can tell he was having a lot of fun. He

8:23

was smiling. He was He was vibing. He

8:25

was having a great time. He just seems

8:27

to be such a cool guy. He has such a

8:29

great energy to him. Like a calming

8:32

energy. Whenever I see any footage of

8:34

Santana, he seems so calm and

8:36

down-to-earth. But the way that he's

8:38

able to put so much of himself into the

8:40

guitar and

8:42

portray this energy behind it, it's so

8:46

masterful. It's so beautiful. Fantastic

8:49

tune. So much fun. I really love this.

8:52

And Santana, he he's just awesome.

8:55

Straight up, just awesome. And every

8:57

single tune I've listened to from him

8:59

has been really fun. He just has a

9:01

beautiful way of making that guitar his

9:04

own and giving it his own signature

9:07

sound. It is perfect and masterful. So I

9:10

think that will do for today's reaction.
