Lenny Kravitz Opens Up About Love, Boundaries, and New Album in Candid Gayle King Interview. In a recent heartfelt and revealing interview, legendary musician Lenny Kravitz shared insights into his personal and professional life with CBS Mornings co host Gayle King. The conversation covered a range of topics, from his current romantic status to the influences of his daughter, Zoë Kravitz, and his latest musical release.
During the interview, King, known for her candid and engaging style, didn’t shy away from asking about Kravitz’s love life. “Asking for a friend: Is there love in your life now? Do you have a significant other in your life, and can I beat her ass if she is?” King quipped, blending humor with genuine curiosity.
Kravitz, 59, responded with his characteristic charm and openness.
A “Right now, I’m just open,” he said. Elaborating on his perspective on love, Kravitz added, “It’s hard not to look. You know, when you desire something, you’re looking for it, right? But I find that when you don’t look is when you find it.
And I’m at a place where, I’ve said this for several years, ‘I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready’ — I wasn’t ready. I thought I was ready. But I can say that I’ve never felt how I feel now.”
This statement reflects a deeper sense of self-awareness and readiness that Kravitz has developed over the years. It’s a sentiment that many of his fans, who have followed his career and personal journey, can resonate with.
The conversation also highlighted Kravitz’s undeniable charisma and presence. King praised him, saying, “When Lenny Kravitz walks in a room, you are the epitome of cool, you are the epitome of sexiness. And I’m wondering if you are aware of the effect you have on people, or is this something you have to work at?”
Kravitz’s response was humble and introspective. “I don’t work on it at all, and I don’t think about it,” he said. “But I am aware of people’s reactions.” This humility is part of what makes Kravitz so relatable and adored by his fans. Despite his rock star status, he remains grounded and self-aware.
A poignant moment in the interview came when Kravitz spoke about the influence of his daughter, actress Zoë Kravitz, on his life. He revealed that she has taught him the importance of setting boundaries.
“That’s something that I’ve been exercising, and growing in, where ‘No’ is necessary at times,” he explained. “And this is something that I actually learned from my daughter. She’s so good at creating her boundaries. And boundaries are healthy, but in that generation, they don’t have time to play.”
This insight into his relationship with Zoë adds another layer to Kravitz’s persona, showing him as a loving and attentive father who learns from his child, emphasizing the mutual respect and growth in their relationship.
The interview also coincided with the release of Kravitz’s 12th studio album, “Blue Electric Light.” This latest work is a testament to his enduring creativity and passion for music. Known for his eclectic style and ability to blend various genres, Kravitz continues to push boundaries and explore new sonic landscapes.
Fans and critics alike have eagerly anticipated this release, with early reviews praising its innovative sound and introspective lyrics. “Blue Electric Light” promises to be another milestone in Kravitz’s illustrious career, showcasing his evolution as an artist.
As the interview wrapped up, King couldn’t help but compliment Kravitz one last time, saying, “I’ll just say this about you: You seem very comfortable in your own skin at all times.”
Kravitz’s warmth and authenticity shone through, both in his responses and in his interactions with King. This interview offered a rare glimpse into the personal life of a man who, despite his fame, remains remarkably down-to-earth and reflective.
As Kravitz embarks on this new chapter with “Blue Electric Light,” fans can look forward to more music that resonates with the depth and honesty that have always been his trademarks.
