Free Music Notes for Baptism
Free Music Review: I love it!
Hit: 5 Stars
I had all but given up on Lenny Kravitz after Circus. I just happened to listen to this album on Rhapsody and fell in love with it. It is the Best Lenny Kravitz album since Mama Said. Thanks Lenny, for actually playing some nice rock music!
Baptism Poster
On Baptism, his seventh album, Lenny Kravitz writes, arranges, performs, and produces every track. The trouble with working alone is that there's little quality control; some of the songs here really could have benefited from a bit of that. Not to say that Baptism is a complete dud of an album, indeed, the worst thing about it is its awful cover. "California" has a catchy, power-pop bounce that's actually reminiscent of Fountains of Wayne, with its fuzzy guitars and handclaps, as well as its un-Kravitz-like short running time (just over two-and-a-half minutes). But then "Sistamamalover" veers deep into Prince territory, with a groove that's too contrived, too dull, and too long. And there's some of the self-indulgence of a satisfied, middle-aged rocker apparent on "Minister of Rock & Roll" and "I Don't Want to Be a Star" (it's easy to sing about wanting only "a Chevy and an old guitar" when you're living in a massive mansion). The best tracks are the most straightforward, fun ones: the aforementioned "California," the ZZ Top-inspired "Where Are We Runnin'?" and the Stones-sounding "Flash." Kravitz should loosen up more and leave the angst to the teenagers. --Robert BurrowUK reissue reissue combines the retro rocker's 2004 & 2001 albums, packaged together in a clam shell box. CCCD. EMI. 2004.
