Info for Are You Gonna Go My Way

Lenny Kravitz's performance of 'Are You Gonna Go My Way' was nominated for a 1994 Grammy Award as 'Best Rock Vocal Performance, Solo.' 'Are You Gonna Go My Way' (Lenny Kravitz/Craig Ross) was nominated for a 1994 Grammy Award as 'Best Rock Song.' Lenny Kravitz comes roaring out of the gate on his third full-length release, 'Are You Gonna Go My Way', with the lead-off title track--a blazing, riff-propelled rocker that proudly bears the influence of Jimi Hendrix.

As evidenced by that song's homage, Kravitz's late-1960s and early-'70s fixations are still firmly in place here (especially on the Led Zeppelin-esque 'Is There Any Love in Your Heart' and 'My Love,' which recalls SGT. PEPPER'S-era Beatles). However, the singer/multi-instrumentalist also expands his palette on this album with the contemporary R&B of 'Heaven Help' and the reggae-drenched 'Eleutheria.'

Fortunately for fans of Kravitz's tried-and-true aesthetic, he never strays far from his stomping grounds. 'Believe' draws on dreamy '60s soul (complete with phased vocals and sing-along chorus), and 'Come On and Love Me' works a hard funk-rock groove. Kravitz's retro-minded songwriting and rough-hewn voice (which revs on upbeat tunes and croons soulfully on ballads) conjure the spirits of rock's greatest icons, updating pop's history books in one stylish, hard-to-resist package.

'...his music reoccupies tiny patches of pop history in a way that delightfully fetishizes the details while abandoning all pretense of significance...' (Spin)

'...truly inspired pop schlock.... Kravitz remains his own blissfully self-centered man....A fascinating chronicle of one man indulging himself in public...' (Entertainment Weeklky)

Lenny Kravitz
Regarded as one of the preeminent rock musicians of our time, Lenny Kravitz has transcended genre, style, race and class into a 20-year musical career, one which revels in the rich influences of '60s and '70s soul, rock and funk.

Kravitz’s talents as a writer, producer and multi-instrumentalist have resonated through nine studio albums into a timeless catalog. He has won four consecutive GRAMMY Awards, setting a record for the most wins in the “Best Male Rock Vocal Performance” category. Lenny Kravitz’s appeal has also been recognized by his peers; his collaborative efforts are as varied as his own influences, having worked with Madonna, Slash, Aerosmith, Jay-Z, N.E.R.D., Mick Jagger, P. Diddy and Alicia Keys.

Having sold over 38 million albums worldwide, Lenny Kravitz’s musical success has afforded him many opportunities to fulfill his creative vision beyond the recording industry. The artist appeared in a supporting role in the critically-acclaimed film Precious, and the box office smash film The Hunger Games, as Cinna. He will reprise this role in the second film which is set for release this fall. Lenny can currently be seen in Lee Daniels’ The Butler (The Weinstein Company) alongside Forest Whitaker, Oprah Winfrey and Cuba Gooding Jr.

Kravitz launched a creative firm, Kravitz Design Inc., which provides commercial and residential design services as well as specializes in product development and branding. Kravitz Design touts a portfolio of noteworthy ventures, with a range that includes chandeliers for Swarovski Crystal Palace Collection, suites at the SLS Hotel Miami Beach and a two story penthouse recording studio at the Setai Hotel and Residences. Most recently Kravitz Design Inc. has undertaken the creative vision for the downtown Miami 47-story bay front condominium project, Paramount Bay as well as a collection of ceramic tiles for Lea Ceramiche called Goccia and the reinterpertaion of the Mademoiselle chair for Kartell.

In 2009, the 20th anniversary deluxe edition of Lenny Kravitz’s debut, Let Love Rule, was issued. The project was followed by the release of his most recent studio album Black and White America.
