Let Love Rule by David Ritz, Lenny Kravitz
4.0
I had no idea he read the audiobook so now I’m going to have to listen to it. Not normally an audio person but the chance to listen to him read would be great.
I enjoyed this look into Lenny Kravitz’s early life, his entry into music, and his influences. So often people expect a memoir to be the entirety of the career when in actuality it’s refreshing to focus in on one portion of a life. It was interesting to see the influences in his young life - from music to the arts to spirituality. By the nature of his mother’s career and family connections Lenny knew a lot of famous people but it seems that he maintained a decent outlook and an actual work ethic and dedication to his craft. I’ve always enjoyed that he has remained authentic and true to himself over the years so to read that he turned down several signing offers because they “didn’t feel right” and he trusted his gut made me admire him even more.
This is the story of how Lenny Kravitz found his musical voice and defined who he would be for decades. This man has much to do with his career and I’m sure there will be more stories to tell later but for now just enjoy the story of how he began.
