Free Music Notes for It Is Time For A Love RevolutionFree Music Review: Lenny Kravitz: Slight Return Hit: 3 StarsFor anyone who has been a fan of Lenny Kravitz from his first album, "Let Love Rule", this will indeed be a "slight return" to his
old form. Several tracks, including "Love Revolution", "Bring It On" and "Love Love Love" remind me of the feel of Lenny's earlier work.
However, there are also several tracks that feel forced, and almost
silly in their simplicity ("I Love The Rain" and "Back In Vietnam").
After Lenny's recent "pop" successes, I take comfort in the
fact that the Lenny I first became a fan of is still in there somewhere,
writing songs.
Free Music Review: Rock 'N' Roll Revisited Hit: 5 StarsI've grew accostumed to hearing every single Kravitz's album that came out. He's had ups and downs, although in average pretty solid material. This album is simply magnificent: it has got Zeppelinesque style, power phrases and JIVE, plus a couple of great ballads ... what more could you expect?
Free Music Review: Best Lenny in Years Hit: 5 StarsI just love this CD from one track to the next to the end. It's practically perfect. Thanks Lenny!
Free Music Review: Just Lenny being Lenny. Hit: 3 StarsThere's nothing all that great, or all that bad about "It Is Time for A Love Revolution" really. It's got the type of funky rock and just better than average Kravitz lyrics that we're all familiar with, thus the 3 stars. He's basically good. But there's nothing that stands out as especially new or interesting about the music either. There's no commercial hit, or underground best-kept-secret quality song on it. If you're a fan, it's nice to have more. If you're not, you won't become one.
Free Music Review: Just buy it. It's more Lenny Hit: 4 StarsSo I'm walking through the store and something catches my eye as I'm heading out the door. Lenny Kravitz has a new CD? I missed the release date by about a month but I picked it up without previously hearing a track. Lenny kicks it quickly with the title track and keeps it pressed with Bring It On. I still can't quite figure out the meandering "Good Morning" but it mercifully gave way to "Love Love Love" which is seemingly built on just two chords but is classic Kravitz. Things slow down a bit until we find a most funky proposal "Will You Marry Me". LK even lobs in a dance track. At the end we find a couple anti-war tracks which really isn't much of a surprise.
Lenny brings the soul we expect, the rock we know, and the funk he is so capable of all wrapped in his trademark retro style--not overproduced.
