Lenny Kravitz

Lenny Kravitz is an icon whose bold, channeling sound has transcended genre, style, race and class. His music is devastatingly rich with the influences of '60s and '70s soul, rock and funk, and yet, each of his six previous studio albums have communicated the urgency of their current years. As Lenny Kravitz's 2000-released triple-platinum GREATEST HITS album proved, those songs have resonated onward into a timeless catalog. Now Lenny Kravitz releases his seventh studio album, BAPTISM, and with a career that spans fifteen years since the release of his 1989 debut album, LET LOVE RULE, he has come full circle. "It's strange, man, but I've made my first record all over again," he says. "That's how it feels, as pure as the beginning.“
Kravitz wrote and recorded the album over the course of the year. "Everything just came together," he explains. "I would go in to lay down dummy vocals over the music, but then the words would just come out. It was very open. All the instruments on BAPTISM were played by Kravitz (save for string sections and saxophones): every thumping bass line, to every lofty drum kick and rocketing guitar riff. Kravitz's multi-instrumentalism is one of the most overlooked aspects of his musicianship and a thrusting energy source in the album.
Lenny Kravitz’s new album BAPTISM hits record stores on May 18th, 2004. http://www.lenny-kravitz.com/bioofficial.html

CALLING ALL ANGELS

Calling all angels
I need you near to the ground
I miss you dearly
Can you hear me on your cloud?

All of my life
I've been waiting for someone to love
All of my life
I've been waiting for something to love

Calling all angels
I need you near to the ground
I have been kneeling
And praying to hear a sound

All of my life
I've been waiting for someone to love
All of my life
I've been waiting for something to love

All of my life
I've been waiting for someone to love
All of my life
I've been waiting for something to love

Day by day
Through the years
Make my way

Day by day
Through the years
Day by day
Through the years

Day by day
Through the years
Day by day
Make my way

Day by day
Through the years
Day by day
Day by day
