		Kravitz, who was born in New York City, spent much of his youth in Los Angeles, and now lives in Miami, says he had intended to make another type of album, a more funk-oriented record.
		The album builds to a plaintive climax with "The Other Side" (which sounds like a track on the Who's "Tommy") and the inspiring last number, "Destiny," which is anchored by acoustic guitar.
		Kravitz, who plans to play in the Boston area later this summer (maybe the Tweeter Center), is not looking back, however.

		Lenny Kravitz has always been one to do his own thing and whilst his influences have been obvious, e.g.
		Lenny sings in a real pained and emotional way, but although it is what is expected from a track called Minister Of Rock 'N Roll I feel that the electronic guitar spoils the track.
		Lenny is a mish mash of styles and over the years he has found the ideal ways to combine all this and it makes for an authentic sound.

		But when Kravitz signed his record deal several years later and was ready to cut his debut album, Let Love Rule, he remembered the engineer that he calls “the best in the world.” They've been partners ever since, and their collaborative efforts are most recently heard on Kravitz's latest release, Baptism.
		The album was recorded in Miami at Kravitz's Roxie Studios, and in New York at Edison Studios.

	CD Reviews - Lenny Kravitz - Baptism - UmbrellaMusic.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Baptism (Kravitz’ first album since 2001’s Lenny) opens with the fiery anthem “Minister of Rock ‘N Roll,” a typical Kravitz song with screaming guitars, fuelled by an in-your-face attitude.
		A Kravitz album wouldn’t be complete without a few ballads thrown in for good measure.
		Lenny obliges with “Calling all angels” — a clichéd search for help from above to find love - and the title track “Baptism,” where we learn the true baptism for which Kravitz is searching — a love that’s missing in his life.

	Lenny Kravitz - Baptism / Album Review / Rock Music Review
		He’s not Jewish according to the Halakha and he’s not Jewish because of the way his new album Baptism employs the idea of rock as religious exoneration and an opportunity to explain, in the most boring, disappointing detail, how his dabbles in excess are a result of a grave emotional absence.
		But Kravitz has neither the goods nor the right to complain that he does, yet he avails himself of the greatest pulpit out there: music.
		The video for his first single ‘Where are We Runnin’ shows a Kravitz waking up in a drunken stupor at 4:30 in the afternoon with a few hookers only to be ushered to a private jet where he parties some more before performing at a concert.

		All of it is in keeping with the more soulful, intimate and reflective headspace Kravitz inhabits on these 13 songs.
		Whether this is the beginning of a new chapter in Lenny's life or the soundtrack to a mood swing remains to be seen.

		Kravitz has always been a stickler for doing everything on his records, despite having a positively great touring band.
		Lenny proclaims I Don't Want To Be a Star on track 2, probably the most musically aggressive track on the whole album.
		In a way, Baptism plays as a bit of a concept album, revolving around Kravitz's search for love and his taking a look at his fame and wondering how happy he really is with it.

	Lenny Kravitz - Baptism (2004)
		To some, listening to Lenny Kravitz was always a bit of a guilty pleasure, but rarely has listening to one of his albums induced overwhelming feelings of guilt, as does his seventh album, Baptism.
		Or maybe it will just be a flush of angry guilt that you've wasted 55 minutes of precious time listening to an album that betrays all faith you've had in Kravitz as a retro-rock revivalist.
		Perhaps maintaining a balance of sales, craft, and fame had exhausted Kravitz, but he sounds worn down to the bone throughout Baptism.

		Rocker Lenny Kravitz has been recording music for 15 years, but his upcoming album, Baptism, will be his first LP ever — at least, that's how it feels to him.
		Kravitz says he intended this disc to be a colorful, '70s-style funk record, but his plans changed when he came to New York last October and started writing new songs on a friend's acoustic guitar.
		Both Kravitz and Jay hail from Brooklyn, New York, so it's no surprise Kravitz was supportive of Jay's involvement in bringing the New Jersey Nets basketball team to Flatbush Avenue (see "Nets Accept Bid From Jay-Z Group; Brooklyn Move Closer").

		Kravitz handled virtually all of the instruments for this seventh album, which features a guest appearance from Jay-Z on the track "Storm."
		The confidence that results from that growth -- along with the knowledge that comes from having made records for fifteen years -- is apparent throughout this album.
		Kravitz has evolved merely from one set of retro-’70s surfaces to another, with uncharacteristically uninspired hooks.

		Well I have always considered Lenny Kravitz to be one of the best copies of the classic rock style.
		I so badly wanted this thing to be the hard rock album the Lenny Kravitz name conjures up in the minds of rock fans everywhere.

	Lenny Kravitz: Baptism - Christian Music Today
		Accepting Jesus into his life after a conversation with a friend at the age of 13, Kravitz proudly wears a cross around his neck, along with a Star of David (referring to his father's heritage, as well as his Savior's).
		That leads to another mixed message with "I Don't Want to Be a Star," in which Kravitz shuns materialism and fame, yet in "Flash," he seems to embrace his role as superstar, though recognizing it as temporary success.
		One critic noted that the new album cover finds Kravitz "bathing in some kind of red liquid," but with an album called Baptism, knowing the rock star's background, Christians can't help but note that he seems to be washing in a pool of blood (with his guitar).
