Let Love Rule - Lenny Kravitz

The autobiography of rock icon Lenny Kravitz. Let Love Rule is a work of deep reflection. Lenny Kravitz looks back at his life with candor self-scrutiny and humour. 'My life is all about opposites ' he writes. 'Black and white. Jewish and Christian. The Jackson 5 and Led Zeppelin. I accepted my Gemini soul. I owned it. I adored it. Yins and yangs mingled in various parts of my heart and mind giving me balance and fueling my curiosity and comfort.' Let Love Rule covers a vast canvas stretching from Manhattan's Upper East Side Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant Los Angeles's Baldwin Hills Beverly Hills and finally to France England and Germany. It's the story of a wildly creative kid who despite tough struggles at school and extreme tension at home finds salvation in music. We see him grow as a musician and ultimately a master songwriter producer and performer. We also see Lenny's spiritual growth-and the powerful way in which spirit informs his music. The cast of characters surrounding Lenny is extraordinary: his father Sy a high-powered news executive; his mother Roxie Roker a television star; and Lisa Bonet the young actress who becomes his muse. The central character of course is Lenny who despite his great aspirational energy turns down record deal after record deal until he finds his true voice.The creation of that voice the same voice that is able to declare 'Let Love Rule' to an international audience is the very heart of this story. 'Whether recording performing or writing a book ' says Lenny 'my art is about listening to the inspiration inside and then sharing it with people. Art must bring the world closer together.'
