Lenny Kravitz Set to Release New Album “Blue Electric Light”
2024 is shaping up to be the year of epic music releases. From young stars like Tyla, Willow Smith, Halle Bailey to industry legends such as Beyonce, Usher, and now, Lenny Kravitz. Kravitz is set to release his highly anticipated twelfth album Blue Electric Light on May 24th, 2025 through his independent label Roxie Records in partnership with BMG Rights Management. Kravitz announced the album in late October 2023.
On the heels of his nomination for induction for Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and his being honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the four-time Grammy winning musician and actor hasn’t had a musical album offering since 2018’s Raise Vibration. Last year, Kravitz contributed “Road to Freedom” to the soundtrack for the 2023 biographical drama film Rustin in addition to releasing two album singles “TK421” and “Human”.
In a 2024 interview with Deadline, the 59 year old rock star talks about the album, stating,” I’m so happy with this album. It’s something that feels really fresh for me, another new beginning. You’re going to hear things on there that will surprise you, some different sounds and production value… I’m very excited about Blue Electric Light.”
On the threshold of turning 60, Kravitz is set to enter a new chapter of an already illustrious career. Since his released his debut album Let Love Rule, 35 years ago, he built a musical trademark known for his hypnotic r&b infused rock songs reminiscent of legends like Jimi Hendrix and Prince, and his quintessential look complete with flowing dreadlocks, kaleidoscopic printed clothing, an array of tattoos and piercings.
Writer Madison Vain, in her 2024 article for Esquire, “Lenny Kravitz Wants To Clear a Few Things Up”, writes, “For the first time since 2018, he is on the verge of releasing new music: Blue Electric Light, a buoyant, occasionally blistering electro-funk collection, drops March 15…With this new set, Kravitz’s attention has returned inward. His testimony to the power of self-love and personal evolution is searingly specific and at times downright anthemic.”
In addition to his album announcement, dates for his Summer 2024 European tour were posted on the singer’s website. The double disc LP will be released in CD, Digital Download, and Vinyl format as well as on all streaming platforms
