Review:

“Lenny Kravitz leaves us breathless. The hardcover visual memoir of Krazitz' most iconic moments...The book is a visual celebration of the magnetic star who has managed to not only make our ultimate crush list, but stay there for two decades. Now that’s something to celebrate! The book is filled with iconic photographs spanning Kravitz’s time in the public eye, from his earliest days hanging out around New York City in the 1980s to shots of him composing in hotel rooms and performing in front of massive crowds. The visual memoir showcases images from every top name in fashion and art photography...Kravitz' one-of-a-kind style and never ending sex appeal just get better with age.” –Essence
 
“Long regarded as one of the preeminent rock musicians of our time, Kravitz has built a long-standing — and respected — career by transcending genre, style, race and class. Much of that life has been captured by the camera’s lens over the course of his 25-year career, but now Kravitz’ life is receiving a more comprehensive visual retrospective through Lenny Kravitz the new oversize photo book from Rizzoli Publications.” –Okayplayer.com
 
“Soaking, smoking, and shirtless: more than 200 photographs document the career of the charismatic rocker. You don’t need to wonder who’s the star of Lenny Kravitz, a large-format book of the rocker. Make that the rocker, actor, and designer. The 228-page book is compiled of images taken at photo shoots and in private settings, giving fans a glimpse into his professional and personal lives...the glossy images include a mixture of both casual and high fashion photographs; some are black and white while others are printed in vibrant color. The collection is rounded out by a conversation between Kravitz and his pal, Pharrell Williams...” –Los Angeles Magazine
