Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ready for rock Royalty? Are you ready for it? Here
one a two.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Point seven kiss FM.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
This guy, he's a legend.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
It's actually inspiration, I mean even for non performers, right
and watching him alive. I had a chance to see
him live a few times. Nothing smoother and Lenny Kravitz.
I believe Tubbs is informed that Lenny Kravitz is standing by.
Will he be wearing his signature sunglasses?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Yes, I think so, but it'll be like a clear lens.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Oh it will not be a clear less Yes, a
little bit Lenny clear less.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
A clear lens. No, No, not clear. I meant like sheer,
like you'll be able to still see his eyes, not
like blackout.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I think they're blackout. He's gonna wear I don't know
that a part I can't tell. I Amy tell him.
I was inspired by his workout video I tried at
the gym.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Yeah, so how much did you try the.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
I'm gonna explain it to everybody. Well, we were right,
sisiny that is Lenny Kravitz. Right.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
How are you, buddy?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I'm doing well. How are you good?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
To see you fantastic, thanks for coming on, good to
see you.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Man.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
We were just.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Saying Lenny that through your music we are and have been.
Obviously we are inspired, but also I think through dialogue
and some of the things that that I've been reading
about you, some of the things that you practice are
inspiring and some of the things that you physically do
are inspiring. I actually tried to recreate you with that
(01:39):
large bar doing the sit up on the decline bench
in the gym at a place called dog Pound, and
it didn't go as smoothly as it did with you
in your video.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Come on, I don't know about that, and I know
you can do it.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
I believe in you, right, I know you do. But
the way I've been the weight did not. But I did.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I did see it, and I thought, you know what,
that is inspired because I was reading that you that
is part of sort of mental for you, right, exercise
mental for you.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
The discipline travels across lines, so it enhances any discipline
that you are trying to achieve. Your focus, your discipline,
your drive, your commitment to things going from mission to mission,
in whatever.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
You have in front of you. It really does enhance.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
All of it because you get pushed beyond what you
thought you could do, and it just works in every
aspect of your life, and I recommend it for you.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I'm going to hook you up. I need it, hook
you up.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
We talk about breaking our comfort zone, and you know, interestingly,
with the new album Blue Electric Light, this is something
where I also, I think I kind of know your method,
but you don't that You're not waking up at whatever
time and going I'm going to the studio for three hours.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I'm going to write.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Whatever happens, happens, I'm going out, going out for lunch.
That's not your process.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
No, No, I'm an antenna, That's what I call it,
and I pick up things that are being transmitted, and
so I prefer to wait for it to happen as
opposed to a set of time to work. I know
a lot of musicians and producers that work that way,
and it works for them. They make a schedule, they
(03:30):
work like they're in an office. But for me, I
want to keep as much of my ideas out of it,
which sounds strange. I want to hear it from the
pure source, and then my job is to work on
that to get that to sound like I heard it
(03:50):
in my head, so that when you hear it, I'm
hearing this pure.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Creativity that came to me.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
So that's my job is to then work on that
at and so I play all the instruments and I
put it together and it ends up being that.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
But not that I can't write a song the other way.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
But melody first, Melody comes first. Melody is the first thing.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Normally.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Well, when I hear these things, I hear them like records,
so they they I hear the whole thing pretty much.
I may not hear I may not hear all of
the words. Sometimes I do, but if I don't, they
begin to sort of appear as I work on it,
and I'll go in and do what we call a
dummy vocal, where you just start scatting the melody because
(04:35):
I hear the melody and all of a sudden words
start coming out here and there, and then I listen back.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
I said, what is it I'm saying? And I can
hear it through the scat.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Yeah, And it could happen. It could come to you
at any time sleeping normally.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Yeah, normally it's between the hours of three and five am.
I find that no way, that's that's the time where
I'm being woken up and you know you're sleeping you're comfortable,
you know, you don't want to get up, but you
got to get up.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Do you think it's because do you think it's because
the rest of the world is quiet?
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Perhaps perhaps in my time zone? Right so, but it
just seems to be the time that it happens. And
maybe that's when I'm in you know, rim sleep. I
don't know, but those are the hours so kind of
a pain, but.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
You know, you know you got to get up.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
You got to get up, you know, in talking about
this new album, but it's the kind of album that
you and you got it one of those time people
have listened to an album. This is an album that
you do want to you want to put you want
to just go away from friends and family for a minute,
you want a little it's almost a meditative moment for yourself.
And play the whole thing because it's got different tempos
to it.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
It's got thank you, it's got.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
I still believe in the album. I still believe in
the Alchemists.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Well you can tell when you listen to the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
You know, it's it's it's what I grew up listening to.
It's what I grew up making. And for me, it
takes a collection of songs to make the statement, and
you know just how one song flows to the other,
the time between each song, you know, you know, growing
(06:14):
up listening to records, you knew when the next song
was coming and what it was in the space between,
and every little breath matters.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
You know, how do you view your own spirituality and
how do you practice it.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
With the gratitude knowing that God is a higher source
and that all these things are gifts. I do the work,
You do the work, and thus we have the lives
that we have. There's a blessing that's also involved and
having faith and also accept myself as I speak about
(06:52):
in this song Human, I mean, we're all spiritual beings
having this human experience. We're here to learn, we're here
to be human. We're here to deal with all of
the things that come with this flesh that surrounds our spirit.
And it's an incredible ride.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
We're gonna play that song here in just a second
from the album. But I do encourage you if you
know Lenny Kravitz, I mean, who doesn't know Lenny Krautz.
If you don't know Anny Krautz, listen to this album,
Like just take a break from life and listen to
this album.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
It will give you a ride. And I'm happy that
you came on to talk about it, Blue elect.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
I appreciate it all, appreciate you having me on. I
appreciate your words. And I'm over here in Paris right
now in rehearsal getting ready for the tour. We're gonna
go out on a world tour which will go on
for two years, starting in Europe right now in festivals
and a few of my own arena shows, and then
(07:47):
I go to Las Vegas for my first residency.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
How are you feeling about that?
Speaker 4 (07:52):
That's exciting, something completely different that I like. That's gonna
be really nice, and I'm gonna put together something a
little different for Vegas. It's between October eighteenth and the
twenty sixth at the Dolby Live at the Park MGM,
and yeah, I'll be hanging out in Vegas for a
(08:13):
little bit and then we'll go from there and hit
America and South America, all over the world, Asia, Australia
and back around a couple of times.
