Lenny Kravitz, the iconic artist and consummate creative, returns with a brand new single entitled 'Human'.
The release of his latest single follows a surge of viral activity, and his immortalisation on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last month. ‘Human’ practically overflows with upbeat and undeniable energy catalysed by Kravitz’s inimitable fusion of fiery rock‘n’roll, slick funk, and cosmic pop. Wild cowbell, loose riffing, and a head-nodding bass line can’t contain the track’s bold and boisterous spirit as his voice echoes on the chorus, “I came here to be alive. I am here to be human.” Fittingly, a skyscraping guitar solo airlifts one last crescendo on this life-affirming anthem.
‘Human’ follows lead single ‘TK421′, released in October 2023. Ecstatic funk guitars, robotic analog synths, wheezy talkbox, a dancefloor beat, a fiery saxophone solo and a clever nod to both Boogie Nights and Star Wars power up the fast-paced rock ‘n’ roll romp. The viral ‘TK421’ video, which made its worldwide debut via YouTube and global broadcast premiere on MTV’s global network of channels, amplifies the song’s free spirit; Kravitz is seen like you’ve never seen him before.

Timeless. Explosive. Romantic. Inspiring. All words that characterise Blue Electric Light, Lenny Kravitz’s 12th studio album – set for release May 24 via Roxie Records/BMG. Kravitz wrote and recorded the project 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.
Regarded as one of the preeminent rock musicians of our time, Lenny Kravitz has transcended genre, style, race, and class over the course of a three decade-plus musical career. Reveling in the soul, rock, and funk influences the sixties and seventies, the writer, producer and multi-instrumentalist has won four consecutive Grammy Awards as well as setting the record for the most wins in the “Best Male Rock Vocal Performance” category. In addition to his eleven studio albums, which have sold 40 million worldwide, this multidimensional artist has segued into film, appearing as Cinna in the box-office hits, The Hunger Games and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
