Baptism (Lenny Kravitz album)

Baptism is the seventh studio album by Lenny Kravitz.

On the origin

Kravitz originally wanted to record a radio album in the style of the 1970s. The proposed title was The Funk album. However, he decided ultimately it, even though some pieces were already completed in this style, resorting to the song writing for the album on the acoustic guitar. This was triggered by a visit to New York City. This had given him about when traveling by motorcycle through the city, the feeling that he had been 15 years previously before the emergence of Let Love Rule. The plan of the funk -influenced album was then reacted only with Black and White America. In Baptism worked rapper Jay -Z on the song Storm. The album was recorded in the Hotel Edison Studios in Miami, Florida.

Success

The album reached # 14 on the Billboard 200, number two on the German charts, number four in Austria and number three in Switzerland. Laut.de wrote: " " Baptism, " Kravitzens baptism is a pleasant, though not surprising matter ."
