Future generations will appreciate these interviews a lot
Something people don't hear or say often enough, this is truly awesome to experience.
Absolutely... What a blessing to hear our favorite artists' minds
Yes, they really put the effort and time into making these interviews really high-end. Zane does a great job interviewing his guests.
LENNY cracked the CODE to LIFE and he’s at PEACE
COOL 😎 PEACE ☮️ To You, Lenny U The Man 🔥💯🤘
his daddy's money cracked the code. Still love brother LK doe
@@elbello213 ohhh okay
@@elbello213 His mother was the one who had the money in the family- so get it right...
@@nguzoloveinlofi3832 both got it but Ms Rocker's wasnt inherited...if you know what I mean
Thank you Lenny for keeping Prince's legacy and memory alive!

Could listen to Lenny talk forever. Love it when he said, "He wakes up each day with a thirst, he loves life and everything that comes with it" truly an inspiring heaven sent human with a beautiful soul.
hahahhahahah ... well get your own life and listen to that.
I'm glad that I saw that interview too and I love Lenny Kravitz, and he's absolutely amazing talent and absolutely gorgeous!
He's absolutely gorgeous and talented!
Beautifully freased and I agree 100%. Lenny Kravitz excude Masculine energy in his voice, words and spirit❤
I like how he talks about Prince in the present tense.
Amen
So noticed that! i am sure he believes he is present in his life!
@@lauradotson355 I think he is very present in his last album
We are all eternal so Prince is still here for those that understand this thing called life
Dude hasn’t aged in 30 years
Tend to body & spirit and neither will we.
Zane hasn't changed his style of pants in about 30
@@CG-hj1cu Macklemore still trying to get them back 😂
RIGHT!!! I thought the same EXACT thing!!! Haha
I’m late to the game on Zane Lowe. I had no idea who he was. Still dont know much about him other than he appears to be a really great interviewer, and is able to pull the real person out of the artist. Especially Lenny. I’ve kind of thought he’s a tougher cookie with these types of things. Whenever I see a new interview from Zane, it’s an immediate watch. Like WATCH NOW haha! Keep it up!!!
he’s got that Prince aura 💜🕊️
I had the pleasure of touring with Lenny Supporting him with the Freestylers back in the day. he was such as nice and gracious man and took the time to come chat with us. he really is the guy you think he is.
This man was in the same room with Prince and Michael Jackson. Good stories.
I was so fortunate to see Prince live from the 3rd row in Vancouver many years ago and never realized how special it was until reflecting after. He was such a showman and artist. Mr. Kravitz reminds me of him in many ways. Love his style and artful way he makes his life and his music.
Where they differ is showmanship. Prince was also a dancer like his idol James Brown. Dancing isn’t part of Lenny’s repertoire. Lenny is more like Jimi Hendrix.
I love Lenny Kravitz! His music has been the same his entire career. Full of love. This new album Blue Eletric Light is 🔥🔥🔥
I wish he would put out those songs that he and Prince made.
I love the relationship he had with Prince. You can look and listen to him and see his Presence all over him. Great interview!💜
Great interview. Lenny is finally getting his long overdue accolades on such a grand global scale. Superfans have always known that he is more than hairstyles and clothing, and it is nice to see the rest of the world catching up to give him his proper flowers. Also what a fantastically thoughtful interviewer, who actually listened to Lenny’s answers and took direction from them, instead of sticking to a prepared list of questions. Bravo!!!
word. interviewer was on point and came off very well in every department, charisma, interest, knowing Lenny's history, being a fan but also a journalist, allowing the answers, great great interview. both did very well.
@@SILVARYDAH indeed
Blue electric light didn't even chart in the US and charted at 73 in the UK with all this media love and attention?
@@geoffstern7652 it will grow as an album. Trust.
Lenny is so smooth as he speaks about life, he loves life and respects it, the old and new…
Recording both Michael Jackson & Prince. Legendary. Shame they never did a duet.
He probably had a much better chance of working with Prince than Michael did.
@@kennethrussell1158 Well Lenny did work with Michael but I’m sure they would have recorded more tracks if he was alive. Another Day & Low are great tracks.
His performance of “American Woman” with Prince is legendary! 💜
@Jinks2021 Absolutely amazing!! I always go back to watch the ‘live’ of them singing ‘American Woman’, its truly special!! The voices, the guitars!! Love it! Anybody reading this please look up ‘Lenny Kravitz and Prince American Woman live’ & it starts with them both walking through the crowd to the stage, such a fantastic performance! A must watch!!❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏🏼👏🏼
Lenny Kravitz, A Living Legend. Loved the Prince and Michael Jackson stories. His mission is to amplify love and I feel the love, sir. ❤
He should’ve been inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame this year!!! Those with fewer fan votes got in!! Lenny is talented legendary artist!!
I think his taking one brief incident and trying to get away with a large made up story.
Yeah, I feel It too🙏💜🤘
This dude is the definition of cool.
What an absolute legend. And Dane is the best interviewer out there.
I would've lived to hear a prince Lenny album what could've been!!!!
Being a lifelong Kravitz fan I always imagine what Jimi Hendrix’s career what have been like had he lived and gotten a chance continue to blow open artistic doors that way Kravitz has done. Lenny is the definition of “Rock Star” but beyond that a truly soulful human being and artist. He hasn’t always delivered musically but you would never question is integrity artistically and has remained a ground breaker throughout his whole career. What an incredible dude and inspiration. Cheers to you Lenny!
I have stopped going to concerts because of people with their phones. Prince would stop playing if he saw one phone out. Loved his concerts. RIP.
Tool band does the same till now
Well he must have mellowed out because at his concert, he told us to light up our cellphones.
I don’t know who you are, but you are one of the best interviewers I have ever seen. Great job. So comfortable
The absolute king of cool
Since Dean Martin is no longer here, he took the title of King of cool.
He speaks so eloquently. So wise and down to earth. And one of the great rockers.
I'm Brazilian, I know about your beautiful farm in "DUAS BARRAS", and I'm happy that you have this connection with this Brazilian style, the root nature of our country. I don't know, but you reflect this connection... your style, fashion, behavior, way of living... everything reflects the LENNY STYLE of being. I'm a fan... congratulations.
Lenny deserves everything he achieved. He worked hard and put himself in the round of sacrifice. I couldn’t imagine when I first heard him back in 1988 that he would’ve had such a certified and bonafide career in 2024.
Lenny is a class act person and such an artist. His humility is beyond this world.
38:48 Prince & MJ
Beautiful interview, such an inspiring man. Love the image of him sitting between Prince and MJ. Intelligent 💖💖💖
He really isn't. He's a poser and loves himself. He never takes his sunglasses off. He's a knob head.
I fell in love with Lenny's music after first hearing "It Ain't Over 'til It's Over". It was so beautiful and I felt it so deeply I ran out and bought the cassette (lol). I just loved him and thirty plus years later I still do. Great interview . Thank you.
Bundle Of Joy - Prince
What do you mean?
Tony Lemans released this song on his Paisley park album. He is credited on “Bundle of Joy”, and “Heaven”. It was Prince’s label, but I don’t think Lenny would not credit Prince on a song that had a public release in the past.
Heaven and Bundle Of Joy must've been Lenny's 'Romeo Blue' era. You can hear the Prince influence. Plus, 'Blue Electric Light' has Prince's 'The Beautiful Ones' Linn Drum beat.
deep artist, he has so much to say about his life and his music. amazing man a huge inspiration. very positive interview.
I was not expecting this interview. Amazing album, so of course. I'm locked in. Legendary
Two grown, succesull and mature men having a deep and meaningfull conversation. Such pure art and sincerity. Thank you both❤
I can listen to Lenny for hours💙⚡ love the new album
Lenny is truly an incredible human being, not only do I love his music, his ethos & personality & charm are undeniably inspiring, he’s the greatest role model for me personally.
The most suave dude on the planet.
I saw Lenny's first sell out of MSG.... When he played Let Love Rule.... he walked the entire level of floor of the Garden with one body guard as the audience sang " Let Love Rule "
Amazing moment I won't forget! I know Lenny remembers it.
it's crazy today that every gig or concert I go too, most people are on their phones.
My crew just go wild to the music.. we don't need a photo , the memory we make is what's priceless.
Phones are great to listen to intetviews like this
❤
Some people spend millions of dollars on therapy, the song Human from blue electric. Gave me the courage and the strength to walk away from a very toxic relationship. Lenny you are definitely a godsend. I thank God for you, your talent, and your vision. Your public absolutely adores you. Much love... rock on. ❤❤😊
What a gift this interview was to watch❤
He’s not only humble personified.He’s a master at due diligence. He keeps putting in the work.
I think this is the best interview I've watched him give it was just lovely
I love that song on the new album…It’s just another Fine Day (In this Universe of Love)
First time seeing Zane Lowe. Love how he just vibes with Lenny and lets it flow. Great interview!
Lenny lives a wonderful life! All the best wishes and very happy birthday!
I truly factor myself one of the greatest music fans in the world. I don't really care as long as you are respecting the art and enjoying it. Thank you for being of that vision! That was awesome!
Your home is almost as beautiful as you are! I love you Lenny❤️
Beautiful interview. I dream of meeting Lenny, more than from a fan crush, but because he’s so real, so authentic, so loving and lovely. Would be fun to just hang with him and converse about real stuff.
There have been musicians over generations that I have said in their time period if you opened up the dictionary and found the word "cool," you would find very specific people. Marvin Gaye, Prince, a handful of others perhaps, but for the last 20+ years when I think of the word cool, I just instantly see Lenny Kravitz in my head. Dude doesnt age either. Its amazing. 🎼🎵🎸🎶🥁🎹🪘🎻🎙🪕🪇
Don't forget Dean Martin.
He’s been SO FINE FOR SO LONG.
😍🤩😍🤩😍‼️👏👏👏
Lenny is the real deal, and honest, and caring towards his friends and colleagues. Really nice interview. I absolutely love his work, and relate very much with his persona. Much love and blessings, Lenny, from your unknown friend in Brazil. ❤
It ain’t over till it’s over has been my ringtone since 2005
I admire how humble and grounded he is
Great interview
Blue Electric Light is the groove album of the summer! It opens to gates to finding cool in the heat.
Beautiful interview, beautiful man, beautiful musician and most importantly, beautiful spirit.
authentic interviewer and interviewee 💚
Love his perspective... I remember doing a show at Glastonbury and on my down time went to see Lennys gig ... I was near the front and he jumped into the crowd and suddenly I was holding him up!!!! Super funny...
What a humble man ❤️
29:20 This was such an interesting description of songs manifesting during sleep. The vortex of 3am hahaha. Love it
Haha. I can so relate to his description of use of voice memos and “putting enough information down”. Very cool to hear
@@AB-wy7dr yeah same man i appreciated the relatable part alongside the highly abstract idea about creation and origin of ideas
What a great piano. Music changes our lives in different ways!
Love Lenny, living an authentically meaningful, on purpose Life.
LETTING L🧡VE RULE !!!
Staying in gratitude regardless of the situation i love that thank u Lenny Kravitz
This guy..🤩 is really in the 5th spiritually dimension now..high energy..I really need some shades to cope with this light!
I am loving Zane's sweater......great interview! Lenny as always is a fine human!
Yeah, me too. I’d love to know what it is.
Wow , what a perfect example of a near perfect human being . He is the definition of living a truly authentic and fulfilling life experience.
I got lucky to be at a record release party for Lenny, they played Are you going my way, the energy of that band in that small room was amazing!!! Great live performer don’t miss out
Amazing interview!!! 🤩🤩🤩 Lowe was a great interviewer too. I feel like I learned so much about him 🥰 thank you for sharing!!! ♥️
❤❤❤HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEAUTIFUL LENNY ❤❤❤ Thanks for showing us your home and for sharing your great music ❤❤❤
Lenny is very creative and artistic...his home is beautiful!!! He definitely has a designer's eye 👍💕🔥
Lenny is brilliant a fantastic artist and human being and his music is timeless.
Lucky Lenny..I can only hope to find that peace after getting heartbroken in my 50s..so late in life ugh its horrible but music heals the soul they say and listening to these new songs is inspirational 😊😊 job done Lenny! Music is everything ❤
I have always love you Lenny. From day EFFING ONE!! so happy to see your talent continue to evolve. Your inner magic shines so beautifully externally. I am so proud to have experienced your journey. let love rule!!
Best complete body of work in a minute! Incredible album!
I was at Lenny’s London debut show at a club called Borderline. He was fantastic then, as he still is now!! 💜💜💜
Heaven and Bundle Of Joy must've been Lenny's 'Romeo Blue' era. You can hear the Prince influence. Plus, 'Blue Electric Light' has Prince's 'The Beautiful Ones' Linn Drum beat.
Everything you talk about is so down to earth but amazing from the beginnings I wish I had met you just to say hi and hear you live back then. Your music heals my sole❤❤❤❤❤❤❤love
Lenny Kravitz is a uniqe person and musician. His Amazing music has been in my life since the get go👊🏿 A genius whos music change peoples lifes. Thank you Lenny 4 not letting us down. Blue Electric Light is just the latest of his gems✌🏿 Amazing Man!
Dude is almost 60! Looks younger than he was in 1993..
Having money can do that to you.
Have always enjoyed the smoothness of his speaking voice ❤
That was such a lovely interview! So much love and respect for you and your music ❤
That was such a delight. And that piano!😍 If my sons could reach his level of musicality, my life would be complete.
Beautiful inside and out. Always had a massive crush on Lenny. Mind, body, heart, soul, he s worked on and reached a perfect, harmonious equilibrium between his passions, career, personal and spiritual life, while never let himself fall into this complacent place. Always growing, evolving, exploring, being open to new experiences. What a rare artist and special human ❤️
Love Lenny’s journey and authenticity. 30 year fan here. Know Lenny does few covers but still asking the universe for a LK version of “Shook Me All Night Long”🎶
Every person that talks about Prince always say something along the lines "he will call me at a random time and do this, come here, go there" , It has those diva selfish vibes as much as the first impression is like "that's so awesome, that so rockstar"
Gotta love Prince. He moved a mile a minute, gotta get in where you could fit in
Most of the stories of him calling people at random times were for good things, ie: encouraging discouraged artists, inviting people out to jam at PP, inviting people out to interview w/ him, etc. Odd timing? Sure. However, Prince always meant well.
@@prettygurl747 so agree, Lenny got to chill with MJ, on his own he couldn’t have pulled that off
i miss the cd singles released from his albums, where you would get b-sides, live performances, and demos. will be getting the deluxe edition of this new album and hope some cd singles and remixes come later.
p.s., lovely interview.
One of the geatest artist of our times and beyond.
Lenny is living legend❤ love His music
Lenny Kravitz is THE definition of a Love Revolution! This man is truly a music LEGEND! 🫵🏽❤💯🎸🎼🎵🎶🎶
Loved this! People, listen to his wise words!!
Honesty is a forgotten trait in these days of misrepresentation for fleeting gains. This interview is reminder of how the simple lessons of life balanced with humility creates the undeniable urge to say thank you. Thank you Lenny Kravitz, your grace and gratitude empowers those who aspire to reach a similar plane of not just existing but living…. .❤
Amazing interview ,thank you
LENNY is such an inspiration as a musician and a human being! I remember his mother on television, Good Times was the show. We love you my brother!!
Lenny has always been so authentic. Such beauty in this day and age
I just ❤ Lenny so much 😊 He's Gorgeous 🥰 and his voice is heaven 💗 Sending Lenny all my love from Toronto Canada ❤️ I would love to meet you some day 🙏🤗
My music amplifies love!!!!! Very interesting interview. Loved the prince stories who would have thought that he loved to play ping pong or basketball.
Lenny deserves EVERYTHING HE HAS!! He's a down to earth human who inspires people with his MUSIC!!I could listen to him talk all day! He's a legend out of this world 💯☝️🎤🎸🔥❤️🎤🌟🤩🎸🎶❤️
Interesting interview, and perspectiv of life.
Love the New album, and looking forward to see you on tour 🫶🏽✨
Family first, peace & blessings for all that you do. Thanks for sharing all sides of you Lenny.
Lenny looks more like he was born in 1997, then 5-26-1964!!!! Utterly influential and Admirable to me in my Craft & artistry 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
omg amazing to see you guys together!
Living legend! Love Lenny 💚
