Produktbeschreibungen
Lassen wir also die Liebe herrschen, hören wir auf Mama, und so lange ist es auch nicht

vorbei mit der ungewöhnlichen Karriere des Lenny Kravitz. 30 Millionen verkaufte Tonträger

in zehn Jahren sind eine Erfolgsbilanz, die nur wenige vorweisen können. Diesen Erfolg aber

mit einer Gratwanderung zwischen Retro-Rock und Radio-Pop hinzukriegen, das hat keiner

bisher geschafft. Die Greatest Hits des Lenny Kravitz kann man durchgehend mitsingen, vom

Peugot-Hit "Fly Away" bis zum Durchbruchs-Schmuser "It Ain't Over Til It's Over".
Neu auf der Scheibe ist der Titel "Again", der in seiner relaxten Schlichtheit aus Tom

Pettys Feder hätte stammen können und eine Rückkehr zum Purismus der Prä-5 Ära darstellen

könnte. Doch über die Frage "Röhrenverstärker oder Digital-Sounds" sollen die nächsten zehn

Jahre entscheiden. Bis dahin sind die Dreadlocks vielleicht auch wieder zurück... --Wolfram

Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Lenny Kravitz's greatest gift is that he's a master synthesist, pulling together different

sounds and styles from eras past to create a sound that isn't necessarily blazingly

original, but fresh due to his craft and sheer mastery of the studio. Since he was an

unabashed classicist, his records often suffered the brunt of nasty criticism, but they

were often very good, particularly early in his career before he indulged in the mannerisms

of guitar-blasting stadium rock. Even if Circus and 5 were sunk by their own bloat, they

still had good singles, as did those early albums, so the 2000 collection Greatest Hits is

a terrific encapsulation of Kravitz at the peak of his talents. Certainly, there are some

fan favorites missing, and the non-chronological sequencing is maddening (two of his three

worst singles are within the first three songs), but it does boast the magnificent new

single "Again," along with such seminal Kravitz moments as "Are You Gonna Go My Way," "Mr.

Cabdriver," "Stand By My Woman," "Always on the Run," "Believe," "Let Love Rule," and "It

Ain't Over Til It's Over," which is enough to make this a first-class greatest-hits

compilation. After all, it doesn't just have all the main songs, it also illustrates that

he indeed is a master synthesist.
