Lenny Kravitz Artist Snapshot:

Late-1980s/early-'90s rock had totally lost the gritty feel of the '60s and '70s until Lenny Kravitz rediscovered the magic retro formula. Kravitz's sonic template was based on a combination of glam, soul, and psychedelia, and it made him a massive success. He made a splash straight out of the gate with his 1989 album LET LOVE RULE. After that, he de-emphasized the flower-power aspects of his music and began moving toward a heavier rock sound. This progression brought him such huge '90s hits as "Are You Gonna Go My Way" and a hard-rocking cover of the Guess Who's "American Woman." Along the way, his flamboyant image, model-like looks and turbulent relationships have made him a fixture in the pop press.

Review

Rolling Stone (4/29/93, pp.61-62) - 3 Stars - Good - "...sly, confident and restlessly bold in spots, it transcends its influences without leaving them completely behind....from the sound of him, Lenny Kravitz has found a space to be himself..."
Spin (4/93, p.96) - Recommended - "...his music reoccupies tiny patches of pop history in a way that delightfully fetishizes the details while abandoning all pretense of significance..."
Entertainment Weekly (3/19/93, p.58) - "...truly inspired pop schlock.... Kravitz remains his own blissfully self-centered man....A fascinating chronicle of one man indulging himself in public..." - Rating: B
Musician (4/93, p.83) - "...the strongest statement yet of Kravitz's style and sensibility, an encapsulation of a '90s view of the rock-soul past bounded by neither the assumptions of Elvis or Dylan, on the one hand, nor punk on the other....fantastically alive..."
(6/93, p.52) - Good - "...his music has matured beyond the '70s.... Kravitz's strongest skills lie in the uptempo rockers..."

Lenny Kravitz's performance of "Are You Gonna Go My Way" was nominated for a 1994 Grammy Award as "Best Rock Vocal Performance, Solo."

"Are You Gonna Go My Way" (Lenny Kravitz/Craig Ross) was nominated for a 1994 Grammy Award as "Best Rock Song."

Lenny Kravitz comes roaring out of the gate on his third full-length release, ARE YOU GONNA GO MY WAY, with the lead-off title track--a blazing, riff-propelled rocker that proudly bears the influence of Jimi Hendrix. As evidenced by that song's homage, Kravitz's late-1960s and early-'70s fixations are still firmly in place here (especially on the Led Zeppelin-esque "Is There Any Love in Your Heart" and "My Love," which recalls SGT. PEPPER'S-era Beatles). However, the singer/multi-instrumentalist also expands his palette on this album with the contemporary R&B of "Heaven Help" and the reggae-drenched "Eleutheria."

Fortunately for fans of Kravitz's tried-and-true aesthetic, he never strays far from his stomping grounds. "Believe" draws on dreamy '60s soul (complete with phased vocals and sing-along chorus), and "Come On and Love Me" works a hard funk-rock groove. Kravitz's retro-minded songwriting and rough-hewn voice (which revs on upbeat tunes and croons soulfully on ballads) conjure the spirits of rock's greatest icons, updating pop's history books in one stylish, hard-to-resist package.
