Lenny Kravitz Announces New Album - Black and White America


Lenny Kravitz announced today on Facebook that the release of his highly-anticipated ninth studio album, "Black and White America" will be released this Summer 2011 on Atlantic Records/Roadrunner Records. It will be Lenny Kravitz’s first album on the new label.

"Black and White America" will be Kravitz's first release of new material in three years. It is said to be a rich rock and funk-infused collection filled with guitar riffs, compelling melodies and lyrics. Kravitz will also go on tour in June to support his new album.

"I am really excited for everyone to hear the music on Black and White America. Musically and lyrically, I feel it is the most diverse album of my career” states Lenny Kravitz.

"Black and White America" was recorded in Paris and the Bahamas. Lenny Kravitz produced, wrote and arranged the entire album.

The album’s standout tracks include “Stand, You’re Gonna Run Again,” with its melodic beats and rhythms, the inspirational and soul enriching “Push,” “Super Love,” a 70′s throwback to the days of funk with a weaving modern sound and the electrifying beat-driven “Booty Pop.” Also featured on the release is “Dream,” a piano ballad showing off a robust and emotional strings section, and the funk driven title track, which lyrically takes the listener on a journey inspired by his parents’ mixed-race marriage.

Before his album release and tour, Kravitz has been confirmed to headline the 2011 NBA All-Star Entertainment Series presented by American Express. The 60th NBA All-Star Game will air on Sunday, February 20th.
