World Tour Will Kick Off at Pink Pop in Holland on May 31st
March 4, 2004, New York, NY — Lenny Kravitz will release his highly anticipated 7th studio album Baptism (Virgin Records) on May 18, 2004. The release marks his first new collection of original material since 2001’s Lenny and is being hailed as his most accomplished album to date. Baptism features 13 original songs, including the album’s debut single, “Where Are We Runnin’?”. The track will impact radio on March 29th with a video to be shot in the coming weeks.
Recorded over the course of the last year, Kravitz wrote, produced, arranged and performed all the tracks on the album. He also played the majority of the instruments featured on the release, including bass and drums, in addition to the guitar. On Baptism, Kravitz has created an album that is soulful, yet still resonates with its powerful chords and anthemic hooks and melodies. The end result is a testament to his career as an artist, songwriter and producer.
Said Lenny Kravitz “Baptism marks a musical and spiritual rebirth. That’s what this album is all about.”
In addition to the single, Baptism features such key standout tracks as “Minster Of Rock ‘N Roll,” which Rolling Stone called “a psychedelic, Moog-driven stomper with big –rock swagger,” as well as “Lady” and “California.” The album also features the song “Storm,” which includes a special guest appearance by Jay-Z. The track listing for Baptism is as follows:
Minister Of Rock ‘N Roll
I Don’t Want To Be A Star
Lady
Calling All Angels
California
Sistamamalover
Where Are We Runnin’?
Baptized
Flash
What Did I Do With My Life?
Storm
The Other Side
Destiny
Lenny Kravitz has achieved tremendous critical acclaim and commercial success with a succession of groundbreaking album releases. He holds multiple gold, platinum and multi-platinum certifications from the RIAA for his albums and singles, and has earned an array of accolades, including Grammy Awards, MTV Video Music Awards and American Music Awards. In 2001, Kravitz set a Grammy record for the most wins in the “Best Male Rock Vocal Performance” category when he took home his fourth consecutive award for his single “Dig In” (previously winning for “Again,” “American Woman” and “Fly Away”). In 2003, he received his fifth Grammy nomination in the category for “If I Could Fall In Love” off his last album, Lenny.
In support of his new album Baptism, Lenny has announced a world tour that will kick off in Holland on May 31st at Pink Pop. The tour will hit the US in August and is expected to hit multiple cities across the country through October.
