Written and recorded by Kravitz in his Bahamas studio, Blue Electric Light is the rock icon’s twelfth album and his first full-length musical offering in five years. “Paralyzed,” the latest single from Blue Electric Light, was released on Monday, May 20, in conjunction with the announcement of Kravitz’s Blue Electric Light residency in Las Vegas taking place in October.
The project is a passionate set of songs that highlights Kravitz’s unique mastery of deep-soul rock and roll, the latest contribution from a man whose music – not to mention his singular style – continues to inspire millions. of people around the world.
What is Lenny Kravitz’s new album like?
The central theme “Paralyzed”, puts the cherry on top of the album’s series of singles with a rhythm of intoxicated love, with psychedelic touches and strong blues influences. Kravitz’s razor-sharp voice cuts through fuzzy guitar riffs and hazy synths, leading to a heartbreaking final plea: “Babe without your love I’m paralyzed.” (“Baby, without your love I am paralyzed”).
“Paralyzed” followed the singles “TK421” and “Human”. Energetic, funky and sexy in every way, Kravitz made a splash from the start with “TK421,” which was praised by outlets like Billboard, Rolling Stone and People. The follow-up single, “Human,” is an “absolutely infectious” anthem (Forbes), “packed with a thick groove of blaring percussion and a soaring chorus” (USA Today).
Kravitz’s talents as a writer, producer and multi-instrumentalist resonate on the album, as he composed and played most of the instruments himself, with longtime guitarist Craig Ross. Lenny has created 12 songs that reflect his legacy as a pioneer of the genre, but are also firmly rooted in the energy of the 21st century and beyond.
Before the release of “Blue Electric Light”, it was announced that Kravitz will headline the UEFA Champions League Final Kick Off Show presented by Pepsi on June 1 at London’s Wembley Stadium, uniting football and music fans from around the world.
