Lenny Kravitz comes roaring out of the gate on his third full-length release, ARE YOU GONNA GO MY WAY, with the lead-off title track--a blazing, riff-propelled rocker that proudly bears the influence of Jimi Hendrix. As evidenced by that song's homage, Kravitz's late-1960s and early-'70s fixations are still firmly in place here (especially on the Led Zeppelin-esque "Is There Any Love in Your Heart" and "My Love," which recalls SGT. PEPPER'S-era Beatles). However, the singer/multi-instrumentalist also expands his palette on this album with the contemporary R&B of "Heaven Help" and the reggae-drenched "Eleutheria."
Fortunately for fans of Kravitz's tried-and-true aesthetic, he never strays far from his stomping grounds. "Believe" draws on dreamy '60s soul (complete with phased vocals and sing-along chorus), and "Come On and Love Me" works a hard funk-rock groove. Kravitz's retro-minded songwriting and rough-hewn voice (which revs on upbeat tunes and croons soulfully on ballads) conjure the spirits of rock's greatest icons, updating pop's history books in one stylish, hard-to-resist package.
