Sobre el álbum
Con su décimo álbum de estudio, Strut, de 2014, el icono del rock regresa a un sonido de rock and roll más crudo, directo y sexual. Como su título indica ("Contonearse"), este trabajo es una celebración del ritmo, el cuerpo y la energía primigenia del rock, con un sonido que evoca la era dorada del glam y el funk-rock.
El disco es uno de sus trabajos más enérgicos y desenfadados. La producción es directa y sin artificios, buscando capturar la esencia de una banda de rock tocando en directo. Las canciones son cortas, pegadizas y están llenas de riffs de guitarra potentes.
Además, el álbum incluye temas como "The Chamber" o "Sex", que son ejemplos perfectos de este funk-rock sucio y bailable. La interpretación de Lenny Kravitz es pura actitud y carisma, demostrando por qué es uno de los grandes "frontmen" del rock.
"Strut" es una explosión de rock and roll. Es un álbum que, lejos de cualquier pretensión intelectual, busca simplemente hacer que el oyente se mueva y se sienta bien. Es una de sus obras más divertidas y viscerales.

You killed the love that was once so strong With no regret to what you did wrong Should I stay and fight? Can we make this right? You looked through me like an open door Do I exist to you anymore? Cause when I'm talking to you There's someone else that you're hearing I gave you all the love I had And I almost gave you one more chance Then you put one in the chamber And shot my heart of glass This time will be the last You played your game, used me like a pawn Check mate you're done and then you were gone Did I move too fast? I thought we would last Now that you're through I can feel your soul Where there was love lies an empty hole Cause when I make love to you It's someone else that you're feeling I gave you all the love I had And I almost gave you one more chance Then you put one in the chamber And shot my heart of glass This time will be the last I gave you all the love I had And I almost gave you one more chance Then you put one in the chamber And shot my heart of glass This time will be the last So many nights I've been standing at the wall Blind folded with cigarette Waiting for the fall I gave you all the love I had And I almost gave you one more chance Then you put one in the chamber And shot my heart of glass This time will be the last I gave you all the love I had And I almost gave you one more chance Then you put one in the chamber And shot my heart of glass This time will be the last I gave you all the love I had And I almost gave you one more chance Then you put one in the chamber And shot my heart of glass This time will be the last - Dirty White Boots
