description: I see my story as a suite of songs that have a magical connection. I never understood that connection until I sat down to write. It was then that the magic started to flow.Let Love Rule is a work of deep reflection. Lenny Kravitz looks back at his life with candor self-scrutiny and humor.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 Manhattans Upper East Side Brooklyns Bedford-Stuyvesant Los Angeless Baldwin Hills Beverly Hills and finally to France England and Germany.Its 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 Lennys spiritual growthand 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.
