Lenny Kravitz Talks Rock Hall Nomination: “It's a Beautiful Thing”

If form is any guide, Lenny Kravitz should be a player for the Rock Hall class of 2024.

With a new album out in May, the veteran rocker has garnered accolades including a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, unveiled earlier this month (with a fierce roast from his daughter Zoë Kravitz), and Music Icon Award at the 2024 People's Choice Awards, held last month in Santa Monica, California.

The most coveted music award of all potentially awaits, a spot in the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame, for which Kravitz is nominated alongside Mary J. Blige, Oasis, Dave Matthews Band, Cher, Mariah Carey, Kool & the gang and other.

Nothing is sure. Although Kravitz is taking the time to smell the flowers.

“It's a beautiful thing. It's great to receive flowers,” she explained as she passed The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallonfor an interview that aired Wednesday night, March 20.

The “Fly Away” singer's record career took off in the early '90s, after a bidding war between the then major five record labels. He decided on Virgin and the label's promise that the multi-hyphenate would have complete creative control.

“I promised myself,” she told host Jimmy Fallon, “when I was coming up I never took the time to enjoy things like that. I was always moving forward, not thinking about the past or what was happening. So I said when these things start happening again, I'm going to take my time and enjoy the moments because they're beautiful.”

The awards are a bonus for Kravitz, who is gearing up for a May 24 release Blue electric light, his 12th studio album. The collection, he noted, is about “celebration, life, humanity, sexuality, sensuality, spirituality.”

Its title track came to Kravitz in a dream during the last recording session in the Bahamas. He cut it the next day and guitarist Craig Ross convinced Lenny to scrap the album title he had previously planned.

Blue electric light it's “just that vibration of love, of god, of spirit,” he explained to Fallon.

Kravitz will support the album with a summer European arena and festival tour, tour/” rel=”nofollow” target=”_blank”>starts June 23rd at the Sporthalle in Hamburg, Germany. But first, the rock star and his band gave a taste of things to come with a midnight performance of album track 'Human', a song about us 'spiritual beings who have human existence, the journey, the man' .
