Ear Candy’s Lenny Kravitz craving worth the wait

Kravitz's first album in years hits shelves February 5 and his lead single is dripping with sonic succulence.

The confection Kravitz has created to announce his return to the world is pure Lenny taken to an entirely new delicious level. By interlocking layers of musical interludes inhabited with strings for his melodies, Kravitz has melded a half-century of rhythm and blues-meets-rock into one three minute song.

With a tour that is already generating buzz, it looks as if one of our favorite rockers has returned to claim his stake in the music industry crown. Kravitz has nothing to fear for his place in the Ear Candy annals is secure.

"It Is Time For a Love Revolution" may feel like a long moniker for Kravitz's latest CD, but this entire record is a welcomed addition to anyone appreciating the finer delicacies of the most serene of audio aromas. For Kravitz's longtime fans, "I'll Be Waiting" goes down as smoothly as Cristal.
