Today, Lenny Kravitz returns with a brand new single and NSFW music video entitled “TK421.” Listen HERE and watch the visual HERE directed by acclaimed video director Tanu Muino. It heralds his 12th full-length offering, first release in five years, and first-ever double LP, Blue Electric Light, arriving on March 15, 2024 (Roxie Records/BMG). Pre-order/Pre-save HERE. The video made its worldwide debut via YouTube and global broadcast premiere today on MTV’s global network of channels, and the track premiered nationally across iHeart Radio stations in the U.S.
Right out of the gate, Kravitz packs a punch on “TK421.” Ecstatic funk guitars, robotic analog synths, weezy talkbox, a dancefloor beat, a fiery saxophone solo, and a clever nod to both Boogie Nights and Star Wars power up this fast-paced rock ‘n’ roll romp. However, the music video only amplifies the song’s free spirit, and you’ll see Kravitz like you’ve never seen him. It’s unnecessary to say more since everything is on-screen.
Timeless. Explosive. Romantic. Inspiring. How else to characterize Blue Electric Light, Lenny Kravitz’s 12th studio album? Kravitz wrote and recorded the album in his studio in the Bahamas and his mastery of deep-soul rock ‘n roll is once again established here. As a relentless creative force—musician, writer, producer, actor, author, designer—he continues to be a global dynamic presence throughout music, art, and culture. Blue Electric Light is an impassioned suite of songs, that broadens this distinction and is the latest contribution of a man whose music—not to mention his singular style—continues to inspire millions the world over. On the album, Kravitz’s talents as a writer, producer and multi-instrumentalist resonate as he wrote and played most of the instruments himself, with longtime guitarist Craig Ross. Ultimately, he crafted 12 tracks that are reflective of his legacy as a genre-breaking trailblazer, yet also firmly entrenched in the energy of the 21st century and beyond.
This luminous world of Blue Electric Light will unfold as he uncovers more from the album in the near future.
