Lenny Kravitz is featured in the August/September 2011 issue of UPTOWN Magazine.
He looks fab!
In the issue Lenny talks one of his first musical experiences via The Jackson 5:
“I remember all the flash bulbs going off. They sang “The Love You Save” and I lost my mind. Aretha Franklin sat next to us; she had on this white fur stole with the matching fur hat. The music just hit me.”
He also talks his mixed ethnicity:
“I was the kid they knew was different. They knew who my parents were and would call them Mr. Day and Mrs. Night, or they’d call me zebra,” says Kravitz in reference to his Jewish father and his black mother. “I didn’t stick to one group, and I ended up listening to all kinds of music,” he remembers.
Lenny also talks music:
“All of my albums are all over the place musically. I have a difficult time making a record and staying on one path,” he says. His enviable resolve and calm shape his life as well as his music. “I just do what I feel, and it just comes out.”
His new album Black and White America releases August 30. He also plays the role of Cinna in The Hunger Games releasing in 2012.
