Lenny KravitzMama Said

'60s psychedelia and '70s soul collide here in a last burst of rock glory before grunge changed the rules. 'It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over' bathes in lush strings that recall the Spinners and the O'Jays. 'Always on the Run,' with Slash trading off on guitar, struts on horn-spiked funk. 'Flowers for Zoe,' written for his daughter, drops the swagger for tender, hushed vulnerability. Curtis Mayfield falsetto, Philadelphia warmth, nearly every instrument played by Kravitz himself. Retro love made to sound brand new.
