Let Love Rule
Lenny Kravitz - Book - by Lenny Kravitz
(2020)
Lenny
Kravitz looks back at his life with candor, self-scrutiny, and humour.
'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.'
