• KRAVITZ LENNY BLACK AND WHITE AMERICA

<p>For his ninth album, Lenny Kravitz found much of his inspiration close to home. In fact, the very spirit of <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Black And White America</strong></span> came from the locations in which the music was made€"from a tiny, 400-person community in the Bahamas to the streets of Paris. And out of his experiences as a true citizen of the planet, his first new songs in three years became the most personal and diverse collection of his career. <em>"No doubt, my environment definitely lends a lot to the creative process,"</em> he says.</p><p>The overwhelming emotion on <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Black And White America</strong></span> is the feel of optimism, faith and hope. Kravitz acknowledges that these tumultuous times make it difficult to maintain these beliefs.<em> €œThis world is challenging place,€</em> he says. <em>€œThe interesting dynamic is when you are in the middle of chaos and you are able to find inner peace. I choose to remain optimistic, even in the face of negativity and destruction."</em></p>
