NEW LENNY KRAVITZ

In my entire life I think I've heard maybe 10 Lenny Kravitz songs? It could be a few more but definitely not enough to consider myself a fan of his work. So imagine my surprise when my cousin sends me link, completely out of the blue by the way, to his new video. I didn't even look at it for like 3 hours. Literally just checked it out there a few minutes ago and GODDAMN!!!! How is that man almost 60 years old!?!? I mean, the song is actually pretty fucking good but I only found that out the second time I watched it because I was so enamoured with what I was seeing that I couldn't concentrate on what I was hearing.

Anyway, here's a link to it. I'm not sure if this will work but if it doesn't, it won't be hard to find.

He has money
Ie access to healthcare, nutritionists, dietary advice, chefs, etc etc
Possibly also surgeons
Not surprising he looks good for his age

If it's from surgery, then it must have been a damn good surgeon lol

But the reason isn't important. All that matters is how he looks razz

And the song is good too smile

all of that, no doubt. but it helps if you're already handsome and have the right swag cool

the song is cool, too. but it feels like lenny does this type of song every 3 years.

I had it on a loop last night. I lost count of how many times. But it was a LOT wink

I actually liked the song the first time I heard it. But it's grown on me more and more and made me want to go back and check out more of his other music.

Lenny clearly wants us to look at his ass in this video but I get it for his age and he's done the work.

I like the tune, thanks for the heads up.

Very very very mediocre song (writing).

Loud and boring breaks and arrangements, some easy chickengrease guitar...

And what does the video add to the song? Nothing.

Black don't crack, sure he looks fine.

But it's just another forgettable song for me. Sorry.

its good leonard is still around.

ive no interest in hearing his new songs though.

his best album is 5 IMO.

if lenny had produced prince in the 90s, he might have produced a great album.

As I mentioned in my original post, I hadn't really heard much of his stuff outside of the big songs like Fly Away, American Woman and a couple others. This new song has got me interested in hearing more though. So just like I did for Prince and Michael Jackson last year, I've been doing something of a deep dive of all his albums over the last week. I've just finished with Strut so I think I have one more to go but for my money, I actually think Strut is the best so far.

5 would be in the top 3 for me though. It's a toss up between that and Black And White America for the number 2 spot. I think Circus is the only album that hasn't really clicked with me yet. But I've really liked all the others. Although Strut is the one with the best good song to bad song ratio for me.

This guy has been obsessively taking great care of himself for his entire life.

I tried a few times with his albums but his songwriting is so "basic". I expected his debut to be threadbare, but he just never grew. Having said that, he did one excellent single ("It ain't over 'till its over") and one classic ("are you gonna go my way"), but otherwise, he needs co-writers more often imo.

I agree with those thoughts. I enjoy Lenny Kravitz's music from the late 1990s, like Fly Away, I Belong To You, and American Woman. His music from that time is really good.

But his newer songs don't do much for me.

The music video wasn't great either in my opinion.

Also, in one interview, he said he's never had plastic surgery. He claims his good looks are just in his genes. He's almost 60!! Black don't crack.. 🙈

The song is great, and Lenny understands the role diet plays in having a cut body. If you hear him talk he is obviously only eating carbs once or twice a week to keep his body in a high calorie burning state. He also works out 5-6 days a week, concise smart workouts with a professional trainer.

Being a vegan helps right off the bat with cutting body fat, and 60s is the new 40s if you do it right.
