His first release of new material in three years, “Black and White America” is billed as a rich rock and funk-infused collection filled with Lenny’s signature guitar riffs, compelling melodies and the undeniable anthemic lyricism that has been his trademark over the course of his 20-year career.
“I am really excited for everyone to hear the music on Black and White America. Musically and lyrically, I feel it is the most diverse album of my career,” said Kravitz.
Lenny will kick off a world tour this year in support of the new collection this summer; last month, he played a handful of US west coast dates opening for U2.
The first single, “Stand,” has been released, and Kravitz is sharing an intimate, acoustic version of the song.
“Sending you a song from a Minneapolis hotel bed. Been a while. Have a blessed day. Lenny”
