This is the Beginning of Hot with Lenny Kravitz
By Nicole Wolff October 4, 2024
1) Between 1999 and 2002, Lenny Kravitz won four straight Grammy awards for Best Male Rock Performance. Kravitz has dropped thirteen records and sold more than 40 million albums and why we love him, beyond classic tracks like Let Love Rule, Always on the Run, Fly Away and It Ain’t Over til It’s Over, is that the rock icon always exudes s*xuality, soul, kindness and funk. Electric Blue Light, his blazing new record, is a fun mix of groovy rock and R&B bangers that swing like the Bahamian disco near his home where the record was made. At 60 years old, Kravitz appears buff and naked in his video for TK241, smoking a joint and dancing around his mansion in Paris like a warped s*x God version of Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone. KIND’s Editor in Chief, Ben Kaplan, caught up with the red-hot Lenny Kravitz while he poked around his closet and chose some new stage clothes to wear.
KIND: Man, the record just sounds like fire. I can picture your state of mind in the studio but tell me—what brought you to take out the guitar just now?
Lenny Kravitz: I’d be curious to hear what you think.
KIND: I think you don’t have to do this, you made this because you wanted to. Because you felt good and caught the spirit and wanted to party with the world.
LK: I wouldn’t disagree with any of that. I love what I do. I love making music. I love making art and I’m still inspired, still hungry. I’m so grateful for this journey and I found myself in the studio at my home in the Bahamas and just opened myself up, as I always do, and the expression is a reflection of what’s going on and reacting to the world.
KIND: And the vibe?
LK: I just want to feel good, enjoy the time and have fun.
KIND: Amen, and we can hear it in the tracks.
LK: I think there’s a good balance of celebration, s*xuality, sensuality, but also spirituality and that’s generally the place I like to play in, so there’s definitely similar of my trademarks, but there’s also elements of production.
