Black and White America – Lenny KravitzView More By Lenny Kravitz Our ReviewLenny Kravitz is rock music’s great synthesizer of styles. He evokes an era of peace and love but he does so with modern sounds that don’t settle for simple retro. Now, a melody as powerpop as “In the Black” carries shades of the early 1970s, but there’s also a modern bite attached. The title track throws some ‘70s-styled funk into a tune that’s less overtly political than its title might suggest. “Come On Get It” and “Superlove” modernize the funk attack. “Rock Star City Life” is the kind of celebrity motif fans have come to expect from the man who openly idolizes Prince, Jimi Hendrix and John Lennon. Kravitz demands his sound be big. He teams up with Jay-Z and DJ Military for the hip-hop driven “Boogie Drop,” while his own “Stand” (not the Sly Stone tune) heats up over a thick synth riff. “Everything” toughens up the guitars for a Stones-like romp. “I Can’t Be Without You” has a lite-FM touch. The Deluxe Edition includes the falsetto-led, techno-layered bonus cut “War,” an acoustic version of the title track and videos for “Stand” and the live version of the title track.. Customer ReviewsLove it (5 stars)Lenny sounds amazing. Can't wait to see him in the Hunger Games March 23 :) Know your friends (5 stars) I only heard it once and I bought three albums after that, to come to terms with how it made me feel. There's a lot of advice and hard won life lessons on the album. It made me sad because we've all been through these situations. Made me realize that I still have a lot of work to do on myself. So I went back in time, to the songs I was listening to, at the time I was in the situations that I felt I had no control over - where others won and very nice!!! (5 stars) Cool album with a very nice sound. Lenny Kravitz sometimes remind me of paul stanley during the" rock and roll over album." anyway, I encourage people to buy and listen this latest production by Lenny cause it has cool touch to it. Very Nice!!! BiographyBorn: May 26, 1964 in New York, NYGenre: Rock Years Active: '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s There may have been other "retro" rock acts before him, but Lenny Kravitz was one of the first to not be pigeonholed to a single style as he touched upon such genres as soul, funk, reggae, hard rock, psychedelic, folk, and ballads over the years.
