Lenny Kravitz has been synonymous with rock and funk for decades, and his ability to blend genres like soul, blues, and hard rock has earned him global recognition. “Strut” (2014) was an album full of energy and confidence, while “Raise Vibration” (2018) was a spiritual journey into Kravitz’s soul, carrying a strong social message. Kravitz demonstrated that even after all these years, Kravitz could still deliver creatively powerful work. However, “Blue Electric Light” from 2024 disappoints me. While it’s unmistakably Kravitz, it feels interchangeable and lacks inspiration.
A new album by Lenny Kravitz is a must-hear. This includes "Blue Electric Light", which is certainly inspiring with its mix of Pop, Funk and Rock, but doesn't come close to his great early albums. Nevertheless, it is one of my favorites of 2024.
