Lenny Kravitz: He is going his own Way
It's been many years since rock music was still important and extremely relevant. Artists were not pop bunnies who sang with computer voices, but stars with guitars, poets, explainers of the world.
He's got the look and the sound too: Let's hear Lenny Kravitz' "Are You Gonna Go My Way" again.
His third album also remained exciting and uncompromising. This is perhaps the multi-instrumentalist's most complex work and is bursting with quotations. Even Jimi Hendrix could hardly have asked the question "Are You Gonna Go My Way?"
With orchestral noble melting ("Believe"), Kravitz, the cunning style juggler, pays homage to the great song that reconciles everyone. Again and again he self-confidently sets out to make adventurous leaps between genres. Back then, at the peak of his success, he staged himself Kravitz as a global brand - a superstar, self-made.
At times the American whispers and falsettos, sometimes to a charming piano, sometimes to an acoustic guitar, as if he wanted to show his famous colleague Prince how unpredictable he is.
