Reseña

Con su álbum de 2004, Baptism, el músico neoyorquino presenta una de sus obras más directas y roqueras. Como su título indica ("Bautismo"), este trabajo funciona como una especie de renacimiento, un regreso a un sonido de rock and roll más crudo y sin artificios, que recuerda a la energía de sus primeros discos.

Por esta razón, el sonido del disco es más guitarrero y menos centrado en la producción digital. Lenny Kravitz vuelve a centrarse en la fuerza de una banda de rock tocando en directo, con riffs potentes y una actitud desenfadada. De esta manera, el álbum tiene un aire de rock de garaje muy refrescante.

Además, el disco cuenta con el exitoso single "Lady", una canción de rock and roll enérgica y pegadiza. A pesar de su enfoque más directo, el álbum también incluye baladas y medios tiempos que demuestran la increíble versatilidad de Kravitz como compositor.

En definitiva, "Baptism" es un excelente álbum de rock and roll. Es el sonido de un artista que se divierte volviendo a sus raíces, un trabajo que, por lo tanto, es una escucha obligada para los amantes de su faceta más enérgica y guitarrera.

She's chic but she's not shady yeah
Sophisticated lady
And she makes me feel good
She's so fine

Never knew there was such a lady
That would make me want to straighten

Calling all angels
I need you near to the ground
I miss you dearly
Can you hear me on your cloud?

All of my life
I've been waiting for someone to love
All of my life

Calling all angels
I need you near to the ground
I have been kneeling
And praying to hear a sound

letra de California
I was converted to the other side
From the day I'd gotten there
I met a girl who took me on a ride
I was young I had no cares

When I moved to California
California

She played me records I had never heard
While we toked on purple hairs
Who, Zeppelin, Beatles
Kiss, The Rolling Stones
While we played guitars in air

When I moved to California
California
California
California love !

Venice Beach and P.O.P.
Station 26 was free

Jeff Ho and Horizons west
Dogtown Skates they were the best

Hang Ten, O.P. were the brands
Don't forget the two-tone Vans

I miss the Apple and my schoolyard boys
Nothing ever will compare
But now I skateboard
With my surfer girl
And we really are a pair

When I moved to California
California
California
California love!

I've gone from talkin' to walkin'
You touch me deep down inside
Oh can't you see that I'm fallin'
And I can no longer hide

You are my everything
My sistamamalover
You give me everything
I have no need to borrow

And when I think of you
You take away my sorrow
I'll always love you baby
Like there's no tomorrow

When I get up in the morning (When I get up in the morning)
I feel like I'm so alive (Feel so alive)
With you it never gets boring (Hmm hmm that's right)
'Cause you always get me high (Get me high)
High

You are my everything
My sistamamalover
You give me everything
I have no need to borrow

And when I think of you
You take away my sorrow
I'll always love you baby
Like there's no tomorrow

I'll never go with another
'Cause baby you are so fly (You know you're fly)
Don't have to live undercover (That's right)
Because I don't have to lie (I don't have to lie baby)

You are my everything
My sistamamalover
You give me everything
I have no need to borrow

And when I think of you
You take away my sorrow
I'll always love you baby

letra de Baptized
I don't want to look around
And be turned to stone
All my darkest days awoken
I'm looking for a new way
Can't make it on my own
Lead me to a place wide open

I need a love that takes me higher
So high I'm never coming down

I don't want to know emptiness
Take me down to the water
Wanna be baptized in your love

Far away from the loneliness
Take my heart and wash away the fear
Let me be baptized in your love

Everybody's going down
They end up all alone
Far too many words unspoken
I know I gotta be there
I'm ready to be shown
The path of righteousness unbroken

I need a love that takes me higher
So high I'm never coming down

I don't want to know emptiness
Take me down to the water
Wanna be baptized in your love

Far away from the loneliness
Take my heart and wash away the fear
Let me be baptized in your love

I would be a fool to let you go
With you I'm reborn
I'm no longer torn
Yeah
I refuse to lose my heart and soul
I have to be strong

I don't want to know emptiness
Take me down to the water
Wanna be baptized in your love

Far away from the loneliness
Take my heart and wash away the fear
Let me be baptized in your love

Baptized, baptized
Wanna be baptized in your love

I don't want to know emptiness
Take me down to the water
Wanna be baptized in your love (wanna be...)

Far away from the loneliness
Take my heart and wash away the fear
Wanna be baptized in your love

I don't want to know emptiness
Take me down to the water
Wanna be baptized in your love

Far away from the loneliness
Take my heart and wash away the fear
Wanna be baptized in your love

letra de Flash
The opportunity's takin' me over
I'm gonna put on a mask
I've got to be outrageous for my fans
I am not gonna waste this moment
Because these moments don't last
So tonight I will shake it and show my ass

Flash
Makes me feel good
Feel like a queen
And it gives me all the panache
That I want
That I need
And it'll all be over in a flash

Roll out the carpet give me some exposure
'Cause soon I'll be the past
But anyway I came here to tell you 'bout my plans
Well

Let's keep this moving while people still notice
'Cause my time's going fast
And when it's over, it's over
'Cause I've got no class
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Flash
Makes me feel good
Make me feel like a queen
And it gives me all the panache
That I want
And baby that I need
And it'll all be over in a flash

Flash
Makes me feel good
Make me feel like a queen
And it gives me all the panache
That I want
And baby that I need
And it'll all be over in a flash

Flash
Makes me feel good
Make me feel like a queen
And it gives me all the panache
That I want
And baby that I need
And it'll all be over in a flash

Flash
Makes me feel good
Make me feel like a queen
And it gives me all the panache
That I want
And baby that I need
And it'll all be over in a flash

letra de What Did I Do With My Life?
Did I work on the battlefield?
Did I do what I thought was right?
Did I do all that I could do?
Did I put up a good fight?

Did I love all that I should?
To everyone in my sight?
What did I do with my life?

Did I exercise giving
And forgiveness with all my might?
Did I honor my freedom
And did I live in the light?

Did I cherish my moments?
Did I take a good enough bite?
What did I do with my life?

You can live any way you wanna
All you have to do is dance
Achieve anything you thought of
You just have to take the chance
You can fall in love with your life
'Cause that truly is romance
What did I do with my life?

Did I learn what I came to learn?
Did I listen with my heart?
Did I do what I came to do?
And how did I play the part?
Did I see all the beauty?
Because living is an art
What did I do with my life?

You can live any way you wanna
All you have to do is dance
Achieve anything you thought of
You just have to take the chance
Learn to love your life
'Cause that truly is romance
Oh what did I do with my life?

What did I do?
Say it again
What did I do
With my life?
Oh
What did I do?

What did I do?
With my life
What did I do?
What did I do?

letra de Storm
[Lenny Kravitz:]
My life has taken me beyond the planets and the stars
And you're the only one that could take me this far
I'll be forever searching for your love

I walked away but I was wrong
You're the one that keeps me strong
You're the fire that keeps me warm
How will I get through this storm?

At night
I pray before I sleep in hope of finding you
I've opened up my heart, I want you to come through
I close my eyes, I'm searching for your love

Oh, I walked away but I was wrong
You're the one that keeps me strong
You're the fire that keeps me warm
How will I get through this storm?

[Jay-Z:]
I got the bounce Lenny
Check me out
Brooklyn's bad boy back again
Feet hit the ground runnin' and my back's to the wind
Angels on my shoulders, head in the clouds
No, I'm not rappin', I'm just thinkin' real loud
My karma's my armor, my charm and wit
Is like a lethal bomb, I'm warm and shit
And I did bad for good but when you're trapped in the 'hood
You do worse for less, homie earth's a test
Only God can judge me
My heart ain't ugly
But the thoughts that I drop is heavy
Try budge me
Mama loved me, pop left me
Still the homies call me lucky lefty
I'm flashy and bentley
Deceptively smart
I make hustlin' heaven and pimpin' an art
Long as I know that I'm blessed
'Cause I'm loved in depth
I can walk through the water and not get wet
I'm that fresh

I walked away but I was wrong (I was wrong)
You're the one that keeps me strong (Keeps me strong)
You're the fire that keeps me warm (You're the fire that keeps me warm)
How will I get through this storm?

[Jay-Z:]
There you have it
Young hov
Lenny Kravitz
Not your average
Get your umbrella
It's raining macs and broads
All grace to God

I walked away but I was wrong (I walked away but I was wrong)
You're the one that keeps me strong (You're the one that keeps me strong)
You're the fire that keeps me warm (Keeps me warm)
How will I get through this storm? (Oh yeah yeah yeah)

letra de The Other Side
Where do I live
Where is my wife?
I am alone
What's life worth living for?

Where am I going and what am I looking towards?
Where are my kids having their fights?
Calling my name so I can kiss their sores

I'm just a man on the run
It's a fucking bore
So father can you tell me again
Father can you tell me again
That I'm livin'
'Til I meet you on that day
On the other side

I'm internationally known
With platinum and gold
I've got millions sold
But after the party, I'm left standing in the cold
I would like to be a simple man
I'd buy me a farm and live off the land
Could a wife and some children be better than being in band?

So father can you tell me again
Father can you tell me again that I'm livin'
'Til I meet you on that day on the other side

On the other side

So father can you tell me again
Father can you tell me again that I'm livin'
'Til I meet you on that day on the other side

On the other side

letra de Destiny
Sometimes I think I've lost my mind
I thought I left my past behind
I live my life and all I know is
Follow your dream and don't let go

No one can live for me
No one can see the things I see
I walk this road
No one can tell me how to be
It's my destiny

There is no right, there is no wrong
There is no place where I belong
I've done my time
I've held it strong and
My life is all about this song

No one can live for me
No one can see the things I see
I walk this road
No one can tell me how to be
It's my destiny

If I threw them all away
Would it change?
No
I would live my life again, rearranged
There's a magic in my heart
That I feel
Don't you know that God is love
And it's real

No one can live for me
No one can see the things I see
I walk this road
No one can tell me how to be
It's my destiny

My destiny
My destiny
My destiny
It's my destiny
