The album that made Lenny Kravitz a superstar and left his mark on 90s rock is now available as a new remaster.
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.

A real rock & roll album that hits rhythmically and revolves around the theme of longing, from its most physical to its most idealised form. Among the 12 songs are tracks like New York City, I Never Want to Let You Down and She’s a Beast . They wear their hearts on their sleeves and that’s exactly what Kravitz wanted to achieve. After countless hits and almost forty million albums sold, it’s the perfect time to get back to the heart of the matter.
This album brought me back to the things I love so much about music, says Kravitz, back to the feelings I felt when I was in high school. It’s a real rock & roll record, it’s raw, it’s got soul and it was made in a very short period of time.

View Raise Vibration, Lenny Kravitz’s 11th album, as something of a call to arms, a way to encourage good vibes in a time sorely lacking in positivity. Kravitz has been preaching about the power of love since the dawn of his career but, nearly 30 years later, the pendulum has swung toward darkness. Instead of succumbing to despair, Kravitz rallies, creating an impassioned collection that spins his signature sounds into something stirring and, at times, incandescent. As always, Kravitz excels as a magpie craftsman and producer, assembling elements of his idols into something that sounds like him, not them. On Raise Vibration, Prince isn’t far from his thoughts — the bracing “Who Really Are the Monsters?” pulsates to an electro-funk beat, a sound he hasn’t attempted before — which make sense, given the Purple One’s tragic 2016 passing. Mortality is on Kravitz’s mind — “Johnny Cash” is not about the country music great, but rather a song about his late mother, filtered through his own memories of meeting Cash — but the album itself leans toward life. While Kravitz still harbors a fondness for corny conventions — he borrows heavily from shopworn rock imagery, he writes an explicit summertime anthem — his sincere belief in these clichés winds up making them ingratiating. Of course, he’s helped by his craft. Nearly 30 years into his career, Kravitz knows how to sculpt not just sounds, but a cohesive LP, and that kind of pro assurance, when combined with his earnest hippie beliefs, make Raise Vibration a sunny, affirming listen.

The cover indicates that Are You Gonna Go My Way is Lenny Kravitz’s bid for rock stardom. Designed in the style of an early-’70s record, it features Kravitz in hippie clothing, apparently exposing himself to a photographer — in other words, he’s a dangerously sexy counterculture rebel. That may have been true in 1970, but in 1993, he simply sounds like a weird sideshow exhibit, the man who never lived past 1973. Of course, it’s easy to make such potshots, but Kravitz opens himself up to such attacks. No other artist, especially a successful one, has been quite so devoted to the past and ignorant of the present. Since he has considerable talent for songcraft and production, Kravitz isn’t nearly as bad as he could be, and Are You Gonna Go My Way is just as enjoyable and more accomplished than its predecessors. This time around, Hendrix is his chief influence, as evidenced by the roaring title track, and he does expand that with his traditional Lennon, Curtis Mayfield, and Prince obsessions. Song for song, it’s his most consistent album, although by the end of the record, his painstaking reproduction of classic rock sounds begins to appear a bit too studied, suggesting that Kravitz may have hit a creative wall. Nevertheless, that does nothing to diminish the enjoyment of this record. (more…)
