AceShowbiz - Lenny Kravitz is back on the promotional trail with his new studio album, "Blue Electric Light". In a sit-down interview with Gayle King for "CBS Mornings", the rock star, known for his cool and sexy persona, shared insights into his personal life and creative process. Kravitz, who will be celebrating his 60th birthday on May 26, exuded confidence and charm as he discussed his latest work and approach to love.
During the interview, King couldn't resist getting a bit flirty with Kravitz. "Do you have a significant other in your life? And can I beat her a** if she is?" King joked, eliciting laughter and a bashful smile from Kravitz. While Kravitz admitted to being "open" to love, he emphasized his belief that "when you don't look is when you find it." He reflected on his readiness for a relationship, saying, "I thought I was ready, right? But now, I can say that I've never felt how I feel now."
Kravitz also delved into the inspiration behind his new album. Describing his purpose as a musician, he said, "I'm here to amplify love. I'm just an antenna." "Blue Electric Light" comprises 12 tracks, inspired by his experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic at his home in the Bahamas. Kravitz released the singles "TK421", "Human" and "Paralyzed" leading up to the album's drop on May 26.
Aside from his music, Kravitz touched upon his reputation for being the epitome of a cool and sexy rock star. When asked about his effect on people, he responded, "I don't work on it at all. And I don't think about it but I am aware of people's reaction."
Kravitz also shared personal growth during his conversation with King. He admitted to being a "recovering people pleaser," who has recently been focusing on himself and creating healthy boundaries, a lesson he attributed to his daughter. He emphasized the importance of saying "no" when necessary and the benefits of establishing boundaries.
The dialogue continued off the "CBS Mornings" set as King and Kravitz appeared on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live". King, once again, showcased her playful side, calling Kravitz "hot and sexy" and probing him about his craziest places of intimacy. The playful banter between King and Kravitz had fans buzzing on social media.
With over 40 million albums sold worldwide and a slew of Grammy awards to his name, Kravitz continues to be a powerhouse in the music industry. As he steps into his sixth decade, fans eagerly await the next chapter of his illustrious career. "Blue Electric Light" not only marks his 12th studio album but also reflects a seasoned artist who is still ready to explore new creative horizons.
