worldwide. The artist’s multiple talents as a writer, producer and multi-instrumentalist have resonated through eight studio albums into a timeless catalog. This fall Lenny Kravitz released his 9th studio album,
<u>Black and White America</u> to critical acclaim. Marking his first release of new material in three years,
<u>Black and White America</u> is a rich rock and funk-infused collection filled with Lenny’s signature guitar riffs, compelling melodies and the undeniable anthemic lyricism that has been his trademark over the course of his 20-year career.
