“I
see my story as a suite of songs that have a magical connection. I never
understood that connection until I sat down to write. It was then that the
magic started to flow.”
Let Love Rule is a work of deep
reflection. Lenny Kravitz looks back at his life with candor, self-scrutiny,
and humor.
“My life is all about
opposites,” he writes. “Black and white. Jewish and Christian. The Jackson 5
and Led Zeppelin. I accepted my Gemini soul. I owned it. I adored it. Yins and
yangs mingled in various parts of my heart and mind, giving me balance and
fueling my curiosity and comfort.”
Let Love Rule covers a vast
canvas stretching from Manhattan’s Upper East Side, Brooklyn’s
Bedford-Stuyvesant, Los Angeles’s Baldwin Hills, Beverly Hills, and finally to
France, England and Germany.
It’s the story of a wildly
creative kid who, despite tough struggles at school and extreme tension at
home, finds salvation in music.
We see him grow as a musician
and ultimately a master songwriter, producer, and performer. We also see
Lenny’s spiritual growth―and the powerful way in which spirit informs his
music.
The cast of characters
surrounding Lenny is extraordinary: his father, Sy, a high-powered news
executive; his mother, Roxie Roker, a television star; and Lisa Bonet, the
young actress who becomes his muse.
The central character, of
course, is Lenny, who, despite his great aspirational energy, turns down record
deal after record deal until he finds his true voice.
The creation of that voice, the
same voice that is able to declare “Let Love Rule” to an international
audience, is the very heart of this story.
“Whether recording, performing,
or writing a book,” says Lenny, “my art is about listening to the inspiration
inside and then sharing it with people. Art must bring the world closer
together.”
