Jack of all trades, master of plenty

Review Score: (8/10)
Lenny Kravitz's unique talent lies in his natural ability to marry the sounds of the 1960s with those of today. A trained voice and an ability to write songs and play drums, guitar, bass guitar, sitar and the keyboards also helps.

By resisting the temptations of rap, house and hip-hop, the former choir and opera singer has become a sanctuary for those listeners jaded with the sounds of many of his contemporaries.

The Beatles' influence throughout the album is unmistakable and there are the occasional brushes with 1960s psychadelia.

Kravitz has opted against an over-produced sound and kept it nice, simple and sometimes quiet. He peppers it however, with the odd harsh word and some punchy guitar work with the help of Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash.

Mama Said is another indication that Kravitz has carved himself a roomy niche from which we will be hearing him for some time.
