LENNY KRAVITZ - Mama Said [21st Anniversary Deluxe Edition]

Lenny Kravitz – Mama Said [21st Anniversary Deluxe Edition] (2012)

By 1991, a good part of the world was already under the spell of Lenny Kravitz‘s psychedelic brand of rock by way of his 1989 debut Let Love

Rule. Now Kravitz was back with a groundbreaking album, Mama Said, a collection that took the listener on a musical journey filled with

brutally honest recounts of love, failures, hope, spirituality and acceptance. It notably featured a resounding 7 singles, including classics such

as “Always On The Run” and “It Ain’t Over Til It’s Over”.
Among the Deluxe Edition’s previously unreleased recordings are several unfinished songs from the Mama Said album sessions, as well as

home demos from late in the Let Love Rule era, which would later be finished for inclusion on Mama Said.
Others, including “Riding On The Wings Of My Lord” and “Framed, Lying, Crying” would not be released in any form – until now. Also included

is the previously unreleased “It Ain’t Over Til It’s Over” remix 12! (sides A and B) and an unissued five-song live EP recorded in Rotterdam

during the Mama Said tour. Official live and studio B-sides are also included, completing the commemorative reissue of this epic classic

album.

LENNY KRAVITZ - BLACK AND WHITE AMERICA

Lenny Kravitz – Black and White America (2011)
Filed Under: funk, rock
For his ninth album, Lenny Kravitz found much of his inspiration close to home. In fact, the very spirit of Black and White America came from the locations in which the music was made from a tiny, 400-person community in the Bahamas to the streets of Paris. And out of his experiences as a true citizen of the planet, his first new songs in three years became the most personal and diverse collection of his career.
Black and White America was written in reaction to a documentary Kravitz saw about racism in the post-Obama United States. Amidst the defiant lyrics, the songwriter references his own family history, and the experiences of his parents as an interracial couple in the 1960s. Though the sonic emphasis…
… of Black and White America may land squarely on the funk, the force behind such guitar-driven smashes as “Fly Away” and “Are You Gonna Go My Way” hasn’t turned his back on rock. Songs like “Rock Star City Life,” and the first single, “Stand,” give the album a healthy dose of crunching riffs. The overwhelming emotion on Black and White America is the feel of optimism, faith and hope.
