Mama Said

Lenny Kravitz

A lush, analog-soaked blend of 70s soul and psychedelic rock. Warm tape saturation meets soaring falsetto and gritty, vintage guitar riffs.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the pastoral psych-folk of Fields of Joy into the explosive hard rock solo by Slash.
The effortless, airy falsetto hook of It Ain’t Over ’Til It’s Over floating above a tight Philly-soul groove.
The raw, dry drum break and syncopated bass line that kicks off Always on the Run.
