Circus (Lenny-Kravitz-Album)
Circus is the fourth studio album by Lenny Kravitz. It was released in September 1995 on Virgin Records.
On the origin
The making of the album Circus Kravitz described in retrospect as a tough process. For one, he was dissatisfied with the mechanisms of the music business. On the other hand, he had to deal with the illness of his mother. When asked about their satisfaction with the commercial success of the panel, he said: " I made the record did my life had me make Each one is like a diary. . " ( "I made the record that made my life make me. Each is like a diary. " ) The theme of the rock-star lifestyle is also found in the first single Rock and Roll Is Dead.
Success
The album reached number ten on the Billboard 200, eight place in the German charts and number three in Austria and number one in Switzerland. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic called the album is the weakest of all Kravitz albums, for the simple reason, "because he did not change his style to Are You Gonna Go My Way? In any way, but the sound of the previous album easily replicated. "
