Lenny Kravitz – Strut
It’s been 25 years since his debut album and he’s now 50 years old but Lenny Kravitz remains one of the coolest dudes in music. Strut, his tenth studio album, doesn’t contain much by way of surprises but what it does have is a winning mix of funk, rock and soul from one of the masters.
Highlights here include Sex which evokes Michael Hutchence at his swaggering best, the poppy fret of The Chamber, the vintage Kravitz stylings of The Pleasure and the Pain, and the muscular, bluesy title track. (PH)
