Lenny Kravitz
Lenny Kravitz – the landmark Let Love Rule tour.

Lenny Kravitz – live at The Town & Country – 1990 – BBC 6 Music –

Lenny Kravitz this morning. Recorded for posterity by the venerable BBC 6 Music in 1990 and capturing Kravitz during his memorable Let Love Rule tour.

This marked the beginning of a music career characterized by a blend of rock, funk, reggae, hard rock, soul, and R&B. Kravitz has had hit singles, including “It Ain’t Over ’til It’s Over” (1991) and “Again” (2000), each of which reached the top 10 on the Billboard Top 100 chart; other hits include “Let Love Rule” (1989), “Always on the Run” (1991), “Are You Gonna Go My Way” (1993), “Fly Away” (1998), and “American Woman” (1999), each of which reached the top 10 on the Alternative Airplay chart.

In April 2018, Kravitz signed with BMG Rights Management for a new worldwide publishing music deal to go with his new album Raise Vibration, released in September 2018 BMG had acquired Kravitz’s music publishing rights in 2013, as part of Virgin Music Publishing.

In 2023, Kravitz wrote and performed a song for the film Rustin entitled “Road to Freedom”. The song was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song.[58] In December 2023, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced shortlists for the 96th Oscars ceremony, and “Road to Freedom” was included in the Best Original Song category.[59] Kravitz won Music Icon of the Year at the 49th People’s Choice Awards. In March 2024, he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

On May 24, 2024, he released his 12th album, Blue Electric Light, which was supported by a world tour with the same name.

Still just as relevant as ever, this particular concert is a few notches more exciting because it is early Lenny Kravitz and there’s a drive and energy that, although certainly not gone, have become mellow over the years.

So if you missed your introduction to Lenny Kravitz the first time around, check out what he was up to in 1990 and you’ll see why the audience in London was on to something early on.

And you definitely need to play this one loud. For a whole lotta reasons.
