Lenny Kravitz

    This American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist is renowned for his distinctive 'retro' style, which masterfully blends elements of rock, soul, funk, reggae, hard rock, psychedelic folk, and ballads. He often records solo, performing all instruments himself, including guitar, bass, drums, and keyboards. His music is characterized by rich arrangements and a powerful vocal delivery. Kravitz’s sound is both fresh and original, drawing deeply from the wellspring of musical history.

      GROSSFORMAT: 24 x 32 cm , 96 Seiten Diese faszinierende Sammlung dokumentiert Kravitz’ Welttourneen und bietet einen ungewöhnlichen Einblick in das nomaden hafte Musikerleben Mit Flash beginnt ein aufregendes neues Kapitel in den Annalen der Rockfotografie Ein Must-have für Fans von Lenny Kravitz und alle, die sich für die Welt der Stars interessieren Mit seinem Titel Flash betritt Lenny Kravitz neues künstlerisches Terrain. Von Kindheit an übten Kameras eine Faszination auf ihn aus, aber anstatt Fotos zu machen, benutzte er sie eher als Spielzeug. Erst in den letzten Jahren brachten befreundete Fotografen ihm anhand einer Leica die Grundlagen der Fotografie bei. Beeindruckt von den vielfältigen Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten, begann Kravitz eigene Werke zu erschaffen. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit legt er auf Effekte, die durch den Einsatz von Licht und während der Entwicklung der Fotos kreiert werden können. Als Person, die bereits unzählige Male von Fotografen, Paparazzi und Fans abgelichtet wurde, betrachtet er ästhetische Fragen aus einer einzigartigen Perspektive. In Flash fängt er die Essenz eines Lebens als Rockstar ein, der ständig im Licht der Öffentlichkeit steht. Das Ergebnis liefert auf intensive Weise Aufschluss über den Fotografen und sein Thema.

      Let Love Rule is a work of deep reflection. Lenny Kravitz looks back at his life with candor, self-scrutiny, and humour. 'My life is all about opposites,' he writes. 'Black and white. Jewish and Christian. The Jackson 5 and Led Zeppelin. I accepted my Gemini soul. I owned it. I adored it. Yins and yangs mingled in various parts of my heart and mind, giving me balance and fueling my curiosity and comfort.' Let Love Rule covers a vast canvas stretching from Manhattan's Upper East Side, Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant, Los Angeles's Baldwin Hills, Beverly Hills, and finally to France, England and Germany. It's the story of a wildly creative kid who, despite tough struggles at school and extreme tension at home, finds salvation in music. We see him grow as a musician and ultimately a master songwriter, producer, and performer. We also see Lenny's spiritual growth-and the powerful way in which spirit informs his music. The cast of characters surrounding Lenny is extraordinary: his father, Sy, a high-powered news executive; his mother, Roxie Roker, a television star; and Lisa Bonet, the young actress who becomes his muse. The central character, of course, is Lenny, who, despite his great aspirational energy, turns down record deal after record deal until he finds his true voice.The creation of that voice, the same voice that is able to declare 'Let Love Rule' to an international audience, is the very heart of this story.
