Lenny Kravitz to play intimate London show
Lenny Kravitz Lenny Kravitz has decided to perform a small gig in London in front of just 200 people to try out new material.
The rocker is more used to playing in stadiums in front of thousands of adoring fans.
Yet the “Going My Way” star wants to try out his new material in a more intimate environment. He wants to sing songs from his new album, 'Black and White America' as well as classic hits from his back catalogue.
The gig will be at London’s controversial club The Box.
The news was broken by Absolute Radio on DJ Christian O’Connell’s breakfast morning show as they are putting up tickets in a contest.
He said: “Lenny Kravitz is an incredible artist and the fans that are lucky enough to win tickets are in for a real treat.
“He oozes cool and with such an intimate audience the gig promises to be very special indeed.”
The singer recently told how the lyrics for the new album came to him in a dream.
He said: "It feels almost euphoric. The songs come fully formed. I actually hear a record playing, and I'm digging it. Then I wake up and realise, 'Wait, that's not a record. That's a song. It's something new.' Then it becomes a matter of quickly finding a tape recorder."
Absolute Radio will be giving fans the chance to win tickets to the show – which takes place on September 12 – in the run up to it, and it will be filmed to be viewed at www.absoluteradio.co.uk.
