I stopped listening to Lenny Kravitz around the time of his Circus album. Not that there was anything wrong with Circus – certainly a few classic Kravitz tracks on there. His problem then was that he was stuck in a retro-rock timewarp.

How to innovate when the public expects a certain sound from you? It’s difficult. It took the public long enough to get used to him without dreadlocks!

Now it seems that Lenny’s sound is welcome back again. I’ll Be Waiting has all his signature moves – solemn balladry and self-harmonising vocals. It really harks back to his Let Love Rule days, but the piano gives the tune a touch of sophistication that wasn’t present in those days.

Back then, any keyboard work was done on a Hammond organ.

Still, I’m getting a good vibe from this single that’ll have me reaching for the old Lenny albums that I keep around. Until I get a hold of the new album, that is.

He was originally due to tour Europe in support of his new album It Is Time For A Love Revolution, but instead found himself enjoying a stay at Miami’s Mount Sinai Hospital being treated for bronchitis.

Further proof that celibacy is bad for your health? I think so.

Seriously though, we hope Lenny gets better soon and is back in Europe to bother us all with his retro brand of rock music!

My favourite retro rocker, Lenny Kravitz, is coming back in February with a new album entitled It Is Time For A Love Revolution. News like this just makes me want to dig out all the old Kravitz albums, so I can’t wait to hear what he’s come up with.

As per any artist, Lenny is fit to burst with excitement over this latest album: “I love this record and the feel of the record, I felt like a kid playing in my bedroom, and that’s the most important thing you can tap into, that feeling of being free.”

The album is released on 5 February 2008 and will feature the singles Bring It On and I’ll Be Waiting. Here’s the track listing…

  1. Love Revolution
  2. Bring It On
  3. Good Morning
  4. Love Love Love
  5. If You Want It
  6. I’ll Be Waiting
  7. Will You Marry Me
  8. I Love the Rain
  9. A Long and Sad Goodbye
  10. Dancin’ til Dawn
  11. This Moment is All There Is
  12. A New Door
  13. Back in Vietnam
  14. I Want To Go Home
