LENNY kRAVitZ - BLACk AND WHitE AMERiCA (tHE MiXtAPE)


Lenny Kravitz's ninth studio album, Black and White America, is centered strongly around the concept of integration. Taking musical cues from his own life experience, while looking forward, Black and White America seamlessly pulls together a wide range of musical and cultural influences, both urban and rural.

Expanding on the concept of blending and unifying, Lenny Kravitz has released the album as a DJ mixtape, presenting the tracks in a new sequence with skillfully crafted mixing and exclusive re-edits. To achieve this unique presentation, Kravitz enlisted Peace Bisquit's roster of talent, who collectively have remixed and DJ'ed for the likes of Beyonce, Radiohead, Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey and many others.

The mixtape is a reworked presentation of its tracks mixed and sprinkled with some exclusive re-edits. The work’s storytelling is strongly focused on racial integration and sonically melds together both throwback and future sounds. Stream and download the mixtape for free below!
