1991, a good part of the world was already under the spell of Lenny Kravitz’s psychedelic brand of rock by way of his 1989 debut
<b><u>Let Love Rule</u></b>. Now Kravitz was back with a groundbreaking album, <u>
Mama Said</u>, a collection that took the listener on a musical journey filled with brutally honest recounts of love, failures, hope, spirituality and acceptance. It notably featured a resounding
<u>7</u> singles, including several definitive Kravitz classics such as “Always On The Run” and “It Ain’t Over Til It’s Over.”

<u>Mama Said.</u> Others, including “Riding On The Wings Of My Lord” and “Framed, Lying, Crying,” would not be released in any form - until now. Also included is the previously unreleased “It Ain’t Over Til It’s Over” remix 12” (sides A and B) and an unissued
five-song live EP recorded in Rotterdam during the <u>Mama Said</u> tour. Official live and studio B-sides are also included, completing the commemorative reissue of this epic classic album.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<b>Lenny Kravitz</b> has transcended genre, style, race and class into a 20-year musical career, one which revels in the influences of '60s and '70s soul, rock and funk. In that time, Kravitz has sold nearly 40 million albums worldwide and won four GRAMMY Awards.
The artist’s multiple talents as a writer, producer and multi-instrumentalist have resonated through nine studio albums into a timeless catalog. In addition to the
<u>Mama Said – Deluxe Edition</u>, Lenny Kravitz recently released his ninth<span style="color:#1F497D">
</span>studio album <b><u>Black and White America</u></b>, a rock and funk-infused collection. He is currently out on a world tour, which will take him to stadiums and arenas across Europe and Russia this summer.
