Lenny Kravitz - It Is Time for a Love Revolution
Customer Reviews
Most Helpful Customer Reviews
Format:Audio CD
I have always liked Lenny Kravitz as he is an interesting musician and has a very cool image. His music has been quite diverse over the years and he has been able to blend funk, soul and pop with his signature rock sound. This album "It Is Time For A Love Revolution" sounds quite similar to "Circus", released 13 years earlier. The main difference between the two albums is that the lyrics are much happier on this 2008 release.
"Love Revolution", "Bring It On" and "Back In Vietnam" are catchy, powerful and straight forward rock anthems. "Love Love Love", "Will You Marry Me" and "Dancin' Til Dawn" are very funky and addictive whilst "This Moment Is All There Is" is very soulful. "Good Morning" and "I Want You Back" are two cool mid-tempo rock tracks. Surprisingly, there is also quite a number of ballads included. "I'll Be Waiting" and "I Love The Rain" are powerful whilst "A New Door" is tender, but the piano led "A Long And Sad Goodbye" is the best soft rock ballad here as it is very emotive and plaintive, and also has a strong chorus. The most exciting track is "If You Want It" which has a catchy funky chorus and motown style female backing vocals.
Lenny Kravitz is once again on top of his game, bringing us a well constructed and thought out collection of new tracks after 4 years break since his last release, "Baptism".

Lenny Kravitz - It Is Time for a Love Revolution (Virgin)
Never one to let originality get in the way of his sexed up, classic blues rock, Kravitz is back with his eighth studio record and it's mostly business as usual - big guitars with muscular sing-a-long choruses to match. It's not unpleasant, just pointless, but at least we can take solace from the fact that our Lenny's got his finger on the pulse of contemporary concerns - "Vietnam" anyone? 5/10.

Anyone who is into Lenny will definitely love this album. It's nothing new style wise - same old stripped down beats and paper thin vocals set against a funky sixties analogue production, but the songs are all good and the album hangs together really well as a whole, being eminently listenable from start to finish.
There are some definite nods to Prince from time to time (never a bad thing) with stand out tracks being the ultra-funky "Love Love Love" and the psychedelic Beatlesy "Good Morning". The album has enough interesting moments and catchy hooks to inhabit that perfect middle ground as an album, being not so immediate as to be forgettable and not so indulgent as to be inaccessible.
It will no doubt be a grower as an album, standing up to repeated listens, and in this double pack format with what is almost a "Best of LK" dvd, it's well worth the investment (although the interview sections on the dvd are too brief to be very interesting or incisive).
I'd definitely say that this is worth investing in. Lenny still rocks! :-)

Good, but not great .........yet!
The usual Kravitz mix of style. Overall, I think this is a better and more varied album than Baptism. Read more

Vintage American Rock
Lenny Kravitz's new record, titled 'It Is Time For A Love Revolution' is a strange one to define. Yes, it's Vintage Lenny, but it's somehow different. Read more
