It’s Lenny Kravitz Scarf Season, and We’re Just Living in It
@lennykravitz It’s the first day of fall. #autumn #scarves #LennyKravitz ♬ original sound - Lenny Kravitz You might be thinking that a fresh chill in the air indicates Autumn. Perhaps the crunch of leaves under your feet or even the launch of pumpkin spice lattes gives you that autumnal feel. Well, you'd be wrong. Because the change of season is not official until Lenny Kravitz says so. And we are pleased to report, that time has come. The rockstar made his TikTok debut on 24 September in a five second video showing him wearing that viral oversized scarf. Walking towards the camera, he simply says: "Grab your big scarf, it's the first day of fall." And it would be disrespectful to ignore the music icon, right? In Kravtiz's effortless cool style, he teams the scarf with a brown leath...
Lenny Kravitz Returns With ‘Raise Vibration’ Video
Lenny Kravitz presents a slightly psychedelic, cinematic music video for “Raise Vibration,” the title track to his 2018 LP. He sings on massive coastal rock formations in The Bahamas armed with mic, amp, guitar as mirror effects and inverted color filters psyche out the sights. Watch it below. [embedded content] About the video, Kravitz says, “This song is very special to me. It’s all about hope, banding together, and remaining fearless in the pursuit of your passion and purpose. Mark and I hold this message close to heart. We wanted to celebrate the beauty of the Bahamas in the video and try to capture the spirit of inspiration synonymous with the islands. It’s something I want to share once I get back on the road.” Kravitz expatriated to the Bahamas as soon as the pandemic descended and ...
Q-Tip, Questlove, Lenny Kravitz Remember Hank Aaron: ‘Thank You King for Your Strength!’
Hank Aaron, the legendary baseball slugger who overtook Babe Ruth as baseball’s Home Run King, died on Friday at the age of 86. The Atlanta Braves outfielder, also known as Hammerin’ Hank, was a 25-time all-star, the 1957 National League MVP, a three-time Gold Glove winner and of course, a Hall of Famer. Aaron’s impact, however, was felt most off the field. The subject of racism and death threats as he closed in Ruth’s record, Aaron handled himself with class and grace and proved to be a role model for all Americans. His iconic 755 home runs would stand until 2007 when Barry Bonds surpass him. Aaron remains Major League Baseball’s all-time leader in RBIs. With so many musicians being baseball fans, the outpouring of tributes to Hammerin’ Hank poured in on Friday morning. “Hank Aaron, my ch...
Lenny Kravitz and Nate Smith Gift Nandi Bushell a Custom Ludwig Legacy Mahogany Drum Kit
Nandi Bushell may be a bona fide badass and drum battle champion, but she’s still a 10-year-old, and her childlike wonder is part of what makes her so damn loveable. On Sunday, she revealed that Lenny Kravitz and legendary drummer Nate Smith gifted her a custom Ludwig Legacy Mahogany drum kit (the same type of kit she played with Kravitz at London’s 02 Arena last year) and uploaded a reaction video that’s sure to put a smile on your face (much like her cover of Coldplay’s “Fix You”). In the clip, Kravitz shared a sweet message with the musical prodigy. “I can’t wait to hear the new grooves. Keep doing what you’re doing. I love watching all of your progress,” he said. “Happy holidays. Love and respect always. Peace.” Smith also sent a message, telling the young musician to have fu...
Lenny Kravitz on New Memoir, Changing Musical Directions, Eddie Van Halen
There is so much to learn about Lenny Kravitz in his revelatory new memoir, Let Love Rule. One fascinating tidbit is how, with youthful wisdom, he purchased property in the very location where his beloved mom, late stage and screen actress Roxie Roker, grew up in the Bahamas. “It’s where my grandfather and mother are from,” he tells SPIN. “I’ve been coming here my whole life, so it’s always felt like home. And I have deep roots here.” And it’s on that very land where he presently resides, having left his city home in Paris for the Islands right before COVID-19 hit. He’s staying busy making new music likely inspired by his tropical surroundings. “It’s wonderful to be here, and I’m very fortunate that this is where I was when everything closed down,” he explains. “I recorded my 5 album at C...

Lenny Kravitz Calls Fans to Consider ‘What Side of History You Standing On?’ on NPR Tiny Desk
Lenny Kravitz, like many artists, have been encouraging people to not just call for change but act for progress. In the latest edition of Tiny Desk (Home) Concert, Kravtiz brought all his fans to the Bahamas (virtually) for a special set. He was joined by longtime collaborator Craig Ross and mentee Yianni Giannakopoulous. Before performing “What Did I Do With My Life?,” he talked about it’s good to look into ourselves right now. “In the midst of all that has transpiring on our planet right now, it is a blessed time for introspection,” he said. “More importantly, action. What side of history are you standing on?” He also performed “Thinking of You” off 1998’s 5, which he dedicated to his late mother Roxie Roker as well as George Floyd saying that his last words were, “Mama, Mama.” Kravitz e...
