Warner Bros Records has released "SHIFT (Bad Hombre Vol II)”. The much-anticipated recording features Sanchez collaborating with an amazing cast of guest artists:

Dave Matthews, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, Meshell Ndegeocello, Kimbra, Lila Downs, Ana Tijoux, Thana Alexa, Silvana Estrada, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Maro, Pat Metheny, SONICA, Becca Stevens and Ignacio Lopez Tarso. SHIFT is a collection of songs from a spectrum of international singer-songwriters Sanchez greatly admires — artists who entrusted Sanchez with their recordings for him to reimagine and “shift” through his genre-bending talents as a composer, multi-instrumentalist, mixer and producer. Among the most influential and versatile drummers in the world, Sanchez also provides the background vocals and plays all the instruments. 

Social justice was at the forefront of the first Bad Hombre project released in 2017 because of the rhetoric Donald Trump had used about Mexicans for his candidacy run.
SHIFT presents a more hopeful side of the world while still touching on the fragility of our current social and political climate. 

Sanchez has now adapted the term Bad Hombre as an alter ego in which allows him to experiment without any stylistic boundaries.
