About
From first track to last, Lenny Kravitz's 1989 debut album is infused with a Summer of Love atmosphere of sensuous vibes and psychedelic sounds. This New York-born singer-songwriter self-produced and played most of the instruments on <i>Let Love Rule</i>, combining honeyed Beatlesesque melodies with a bracing dose of fuzz-tone funk and heavy metal guitar. But Kravitz was more than an inspired borrower. His own personal obsessions and utopian dreams pour forth in songs like "Freedom Train," "Flower Child," and the title track. When he turns on the old-school soul charm, he makes tunes like "My Precious Love" glow with simmering desire. With lyric input from then-wife Lisa Bonet, Kravitz rummages through his dazzling pop-rock wardrobe and comes up with an idiosyncratic, utterly infectious statement of his day-glo dreams.
