So I’ve had today’s Throwback in mind since the NBA All Star game (yeah, I’m embarrassed I watched it, too) featured a choice performance by the one and only Romeo Blue. A staple on alt-radio throughout the early to mid-nineties, Lenny Kravitz produced a string of feel good singles including “It Ain’t Over ‘Til It’s Over,” “Are You Gonna Go My Way,” and “Fly Away, eventually earning himself a record-setting streak of four consecutive Grammies for “Best Male Rock Vocal Performance” and three multi-platinum albums—quite the “fuck you” to record execs who famously called Kravitz’s music neither white nor black enough to sell. His first hit (and still my favorite), however, was the title track to his 1989 debut, Let Love Rule. Though now perhaps a caricature of his own trademark blend of unabashedly retro, psychedelic hippy funk, Kravitz at his best produced some the catchiest, most undeniably stylish, groove pop of the nineties or really any decade before or since—perfect fare for those windows down, system cranked drives I could have sworn were right around the corner as far back as six weeks ago.
