Lenny Kravitz is turning 60—yes, you read that right! Can you believe it? And what better way to celebrate than with a new album and a world tour? Kravitz’s latest album, Blue Electric Light, promises to be timeless, explosive, romantic, and inspiring.
In the promotion of the new album Kravitz shared, "It feels great to play new music. It’s a celebration, and I had an amazing experience making the album. It just feels good and makes me smile”. Blue Electric Light" is a return to personal storytelling, with Kravitz reflecting on self-love and personal evolution, with a hint of the music he used to make when he was paving his road in this industry.
The album, recorded in his Bahamas studio, features twelve tracks that highlight his talents as a composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. He collaborated closely with his long-time guitarist Craig Ross.
As a preview, he already released two tracks. The album opener, “TK421” uses a metaphor borrowed from Star Wars and Boogie Nights to symbolise doing things better in life and taking everything to the next level.
“Human” captures his unique ability to blend soul, rock, and funk to deliver a transformative message about living one’s truth.
