MovieMusic
Lenny Kravitz, live at Budokan in 1995 at the outset of his mature period as a rock star and r&b pioneer — inheritor, for the MTV generation, of the great traditions of funk, blues, classic rock, and pop. This is a hard-driving, nonstop muscial event, full of irresistibly sharp funk and scorching guitar, with the charisma of Lenny himself always front and center. Never easily categorized, Lenny was busy defying record-label pressures and carrying on the styles in "black rock" established by Jimi Hendrix, George Clinton, Prince, and others. The new album was the now famous "Circles" — with intense and extended grooves developed here from that album's beloved songs, the title track and "Can't Get You Off My Mind" among them. Other early hits include "It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over" and "Are You Gonna Go My Way." But the most exciting thing is the command Lenny shows of his big sound, and his own way of making music. Here is Lenny Kravitz, coming into his own.

Guitar hero, wild child, pop idol, Lenny Kravitz became one of the most distinctive personalities in music though his radiant fusion of psychedelic rock, funk and soul. After releasing 1989’s brilliant Let Love Rule, singles like Are You Gonna Go My Way and Fly Away made the singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist one of the most popular and critically acclaimed musicians of the late ’90s. Kravitz’ tenth studio album, Strut, continues his reign as a visceral force in rock ’n’ roll. The arresting North London four-piece Wolf Alice combine a blur of distorted guitars and thumping drums with the fiery vocals of Ellie Rowsell. In the summer of 2014, the group blew away the Glastonbury crowd with a furious barrage of kinetic, spacy rockers that included their headbanging single Fluffy.
