Behind The Music: ‘let It Ride’
“Let It Ride” has become a focal point of Kravitz’s recent musical activities, with the track getting significant attention across platforms. The song has received multiple remix treatments from renowned artists, expanding its reach across different musical audiences.
French DJ and producer Kungs recently collaborated with Kravitz on a remix of the track. Kungs expressed his excitement about working with the rock icon, posting on social media: “Had sooo much fun in the studio remixing this track from a legend. @lennykravitz – Let it Ride (Kungs Remix) out now.” Kravitz himself endorsed the remix, announcing its release to his followers.
In addition to the Kungs remix, Kravitz also released a remix collaboration with Jamie Jones, complete with a music video that’s available on YouTube. These remixes suggest a strategic approach to reach both rock and electronic dance music audiences.
The European Tour Journey
Barcelona isn’t the only European city that has welcomed Kravitz recently. Just days before his Barcelona appearance, the musician shared photos from Madrid, captioned “Five from Madrid” with photography credits to Ross Mia. The collection of five images captured moments from his time in the Spanish capital, showcasing both performance shots and behind-the-scenes glimpses.
Behind-the-scenes footage from the “Let It Ride” music video has also been making appearances on Kravitz’s social media. One post, credited to photographer Rosemarie Meyer, offers fans an intimate look at the production process. Another BTS post simply captioned “Let It Ride. BTS.” provides additional glimpses into the creative process behind what appears to be a significant visual component to this musical release.
Beyond The Music: Kravitz’s Creative Empire
While touring Europe with his music, Kravitz continues to build his reputation as a multi-faceted creative force. Beyond his musical career, he founded Kravitz Design, a studio specializing in commercial and residential interiors, branding, and creative collaborations. The design studio, founded in 2003, represents Kravitz’s expansion beyond music into visual and spatial aesthetics.
Architectural Digest recently featured Kravitz’s Parisian home, a grand mansion formerly owned by Countess Anne d’Ornano. What began as a search for “a little apartment, maybe on the Seine” transformed when Kravitz encountered the stately property. Despite initially rejecting the idea, upon entering the space Kravitz reportedly recognized it immediately as his future home, saying, “This is my house. Spiritually, I knew.”
The musician has transformed the aristocratic residence into a space that reflects his personal aesthetic, described as “soulful elegance” filled with photographs, artwork, and artifacts connecting him to his ancestors and influential figures from throughout his life.
Luxury Partnerships And Brand Ambassador Roles
Adding to his creative portfolio, Kravitz serves as a Global Ambassador for luxury watchmaker Jaeger-LeCoultre. The brand recently featured him in a movie titled ‘A Timeless Icon’ highlighting the Reverso Tribute Geographic watch. The campaign celebrates “the relentless hard work that often goes unnoticed” and draws parallels between craftsmanship in watchmaking and excellence in creative fields like Kravitz’s music.
The Legacy Continues
With a career spanning more than three decades, Lenny Kravitz has established himself as one of rock music’s enduring figures. Born in New York City to actress Roxie Roker and NBC news producer Sy Kravitz, he has built a musical legacy that draws from various genres including rock, blues, soul, R&B, funk, jazz, reggae, hard rock, and psychedelic.
His debut album “Let Love Rule” released in 1989 marked the beginning of a career that would earn him four consecutive Grammy Awards for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance. The current European tour with performances of “Let It Ride” in Madrid and Barcelona demonstrates Kravitz’s continuing appeal and relevance in the global music scene.
As Kravitz continues to ride the wave of his latest musical release across Europe, fans can likely expect more performances, remixes, and creative content surrounding “Let It Ride” in the coming weeks.
