Lenny Kravitz is giving fans a sneak peek into his highly anticipated upcoming album. During a recent interview with Laverne Cox for the E! Live from the Red Carpet preshow at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards, the four-time Grammy winner and actor shared some details about his 12th studio album, Blue Electric Light.
Kravitz described the album as reminiscent of the record he had always wanted to make during his high school years before his debut album, Let Love Rule, was released. He expressed his excitement about exploring this creative direction, stating that it is a lot of fun for him.
Reflecting on why he didn't make a record during that period of his life, Kravitz revealed that he never got a record deal at the time. He only secured his first record deal when he was 23 years old. Despite not being able to explore that particular sound earlier in his career, Kravitz sees Blue Electric Light as a tribute to that time and an opportunity to celebrate his musical journey.
Recently honored with the Recording Academy's Global Impact Award, presented by The Black Music Collective, Kravitz joins the ranks of esteemed recipients such as Dr. Dre, Missy Elliott, Lil Wayne, and music executive Sylvia Rhone. This prestigious award recognizes Black music creators who have made significant contributions to the industry.
In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Kravitz spoke about his continued passion and inspiration for music. He stated that he feels more inspired than ever by his past, present, and future. Despite his legendary status as a bona fide rock star, Kravitz remains humble and sees himself as fulfilling his destiny.
Kravitz's journey and artistic evolution continue to captivate audiences worldwide. As he gears up for the release of Blue Electric Light, fans eagerly await the opportunity to discover the music that embodies the essence and growth of this iconic artist.
