Lenny Kravitz Flicks The Switch on ‘Blue Electric Light’: Stream It Now

Lenny Kravitz straps up, plugs in and flicks the switch for Blue Electric Light, his 12 studio album and first in five years.

Arriving at the stroke of midnight, Blue Electric Light (via Roxie Records/BMG) was written and recorded by Kravitz in his studio in the Bahamas, and features the previously-released cuts “Paralyzed,” “TK421” and “Human.”

The collection, he told Jimmy Fallon for a late-night interview that aired in March, is about “celebration, life, humanity, sexuality, sensuality, spirituality.” Blue Electric Light is “just that vibration of love, of god, of spirit.”

Kravitz wrote and played most of the instruments on the new LP, with longtime guitarist Craig Ross. He’ll get the chance to dish up some new tunes for U.S. audiences at the Blue Electric Light Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM, set for Oct. 18-19, 23, 25 and 26.

But first, he’lll headline the UEFA Champions League Final Kick Off Show presented by Pepsi on June 1 at Wembley Stadium in London, followed by a summer European arena and festival tour, kicking off June 23 at Sporthalle in Hamburg, Germany.

The Champions League soccer contest, the most prestigious club match on the planet, will pitch German heavyweights Dortmund against Spanish colossus Real Madrid. According to tournament reps, 90,000 fans will fill the stadium, and a global audience of 100 million will be watching on their screens.

Kravitz has been a steady presence at awards ceremonies this year. In a short timeframe, he was immortalized with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, received the music icon award at the 2024 People’s Choice Awards, the CFDA’s fashion icon award, and scored a nomination for the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame.

The American rocker has landed two top 10s on the Billboard Hot 100, including a No. 2 for 1991’s “It Ain’t Over ’til It’s Over,” and scored three top 10 appearances on the Billboard 200.
