As he explains in a press release, "I told him I would listen to the radio as a young boy, in the days before Spotify, waiting for his song \'Smooth\'\\xa0to come on so I could tape it, and that he plays his instrument like it has its own language and it speaks to me. I just didn\\u2019t think he\\u2019d end up saying he\\u2019d be happy to play on my track."

Santana himself had this to say about their soulful jam:\\xa0\\u201cIt is a joy to collaborate and share music with my brother Vincent (FKJ) on \\u2018Greener.\\u2019 Together we have painted a canvas of color, texture and musicality that we know will bring you courage and a deep awareness of your own light and life.
