Rockier than last - Seems Like Old Times

Honestly, I did pretty difficult with the first single "The Chamber": At disco moderate, with no rough edges, simply to radio friendly. Fortunately, I've looked on Saturday, one day after release of the album, the SWR New Pop Special on television and heard and saw Lenny's stroke of genius "Dirty White Boots". You see, it's possible! That has something of the old smashers like "Always On The Run", "Rock and Roll Is Dead" or "Fly Away".
Reason enough to pick up the new album, and I'm not disappointed. Stylistically though everything has happened before - and not only in Lenny itself in the last 25 years, but also with industry colleagues of former days. "The Chamber" seems like a cross between John Paul Young's "Love Is in the Air" and Blondie's "Heart Of Glass" on, composing of "Happy Birthday" has the artist Gary Glitters (!) "I Love You Love Me Love "have had in my head (older will remember), and more than once glimmers amazingly, David Bowie by: Bonds of the" Fame "For example, in" unmistakable New York City ". At the very end, with "Ooo Baby Baby", he grabs then also the horn section and gives the dish a bit '60s Soul. And so we have already outlined the cornerstones of this album: Here and there a little funk, disco and soul, the obligatory shot Seventies, but overall a fairly straighte, rocking affair and especially back to his own roots, but always in strange beds grow. Initially these were Hendrix and Lennon, today Bowie, Blondie, Glitter. Whether this is progress or regress, everyone may judge yourself.
It is interesting in this context the development of Mulitalents Kravitz, which again served on "Strut" the majority of the instruments themselves, in Germany on the one (here he has worked over the years from one album to the next up to the first number-one album "Black And White America" ​​2011) and Great Britain on the other side ("Are You Gonna Go My Way" in 1993 was granted the first and only number one position, "Black And White America", however, came in the UK only a lean week on position 75!). I'm assuming that it's just a matter of time before even "Strut" at least in this country again is high.
