After five years of silence, Lenny Kravitz is preparing his return. He released his first single on Thursday October 12 evening. TK421, accompanied by a clip, announcing a 12e baptized album Blue Electric Lightto be released on March 15, 2024. On this disc, the American author, producer and multi-instrumentalist plays most of the instruments, with his guitarist Craig Cross.

On this euphoric first single, the musician who evolves at the crossroads of rock, funk and soul, attempts an explosive comeback with a well-marked synthetic rhythm, enjoyable but hackneyed funk guitars and a saxophone solo on autopilot. Everything is agreed to say the least. However, the clip, in which Lenny puts on a show and does everything possible to raise the temperature, is worth the detour. It is also age-restricted and accessible only on YouTube.

Lenny in the simplest device

Lenny, naked (from behind) in beautiful immaculate sheets, seems to wake up from a bad dream. But the day is going to start well. At 59 years old, he is still visibly smart and gets up on the right foot, in the simplest way, and then plays with our nerves and hide-and-seek with the curtains. Torrid. Yes, his posterior is impeccable, his tattoos well in place and he still has reinforced concrete pectorals (to the point that we come to doubt their reality… hyperrealistic foam tackle, AI or lining at key moments?)… everything casually blowing smoke from his cigarette in our faces. A real Chippendale for the delight of the ladies, who lathers his chest in the shower, sways his pelvis and caresses his crotch in his (empty) bathtub in tight leather pants. Woohoo! He would like to start a riot that he wouldn’t do otherwise. He just made us want to scream.”Prince, come back!“.
