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!

LENNY kRAVitZ - tHE MAKiNG Of 'BAPTISM'.

Baptism is the seventh studio album by American rock musician Lenny Kravitz.

Released on May 17, 2004, by Virgin Records America.

Production History

Lenny Kravitz originally intended this album to be a 1970s style funk album, simply titled The Funk Album. However, at the point of near completion of the record, he changed his mind when he picked up an acoustic guitar to write the songs for the album. Having stated that songs started pouring out of him, Kravitz decided that his special project could wait. Instead, Kravitz recorded a more straight-forward rock album similar to his 1989 album Let Love Rule. The album was recorded at Hotel Edison studios in Miami, Florida and also features a contribution from rapper Jay-Z on the song "Storm". "Storm" was originally titled "(I Can't Make It) Another Day" and was originally recorded with superstar Michael Jackson. Kravitz had previously played guitar on Jay-Z's album The Blueprint: The Gift & the Curse. Kravitz had mentioned in an interview that at the time of the album's production, he was in dispute with his record label, who did not agree with his decisions to alter his project, saying that the album featured some darker material representing his stage of depression and other problems he was going through at that time.

TUNNEL ViSiON

All I want

Is all you got

Make me happy baby

And I'll make it hot

I don't need no doctor

To tell me what to do

'Cause I know I'm goin'

Straight ahead for you

I got that tunnel vision goin' through my head

I can't helf myself all I see is red

Tunnel vision goin' through my head

Lay me down inside your flying bed

All that's yours

And all that's mine

We'll put together baby

And we can combine

We don't need no lawyer

Let's not make this long

We just need a love thing

That's beautiful and strong

I got that tunnel vision

Goin' through my head

I can't helf myself all I see is red

Tunnel vision goin' through my head

Lay me down inside your flying bed

Tunnel vision goin' through my head

I can't helf myself all I see is red

Tunnel vision goin' through my head

Lay me down inside your flying bed

Make it funky now!

Make it funky now!

Make it funky now!

~ CREE SUMMER ~

In 1999, Summer released her solo album Street Faërie produced by and featuring guest artist (and friend) Lenny Kravitz, but the album was not hugely successful. Although Summer toured as Kravitz's opening act, her label dropped her and a planned spot with Lilith Fair was canceled. The label continued to promote the album, however, sending out a four-track sampler to radio and issuing remix singles of the track "Revelation Sunshine" in Europe, with a special single specifically for Austria. Summer recorded a song titled "Savior Self" for which she directed a music video co-starring Zoe Kravitz, daughter of actress Lisa Bonet and rocker Lenny Kravitz. The video was screened online, but the track was never made available commercially, nor was it distributed to radio.

- savior self - 

Street Faërie was the first full-length album recorded by Cree Summer. It was released in 1999 on the Work Group, a now-defunct imprint of Sony music Summer, who is Neo-Pagan and a political and human rights activist, wove themes of racism, romantic liaisons, and spirituality into the lyrics of guitar-heavy pop and folk songs. "Miss Moon" is an ode to lovemaking while a woman is menstruating. "Fall," a fully orchestral jazz ballad, reads like the breakup of a relationship but is in fact the literal interpretation of the wilting and decay of a leaf: "Black stemmed, orange trimmed/with the slighest wind I'm fallen from you." "Naheo" is a tribute to Summer's Native American roots, while "Curious White Boy" is a Black woman's response to her white lover after she realizes he has become involved with her out of some sense of racial guilt: "Another housekeeper fantasy?/Coffee-colored remedy for your hangover from history."

"Revelation Sunshine" starts things off with the mirror image of yourself when falling in love, the track "Deliciously Down" will hook you. The beautiful thing about this album is the way the music (produced by Lenny Kravitz) complements both the voice and colorful lyrics of Summer.  Even the musically sparse "Still Heart" works with the raw emotion she tries to convey.   For the most part, this album will probably be classified as alternative rock (especially with the guitars on "Curious White Boy" ending the album). However, Summer and Kravitz remind us that there's soul in most music today. Tracks like "Deliciously Down" and "Sweet Pain" remind us that Summer is a fruit from the soul tree first.
