Lenny Kravitz has announced dates for a fall US tour to launch his forthcoming album, “Raise Vibration.”
The two-week, 8-show run - which will open in Atlanta, GA on September 21 and includes an appearance at Louisville, KY’s Bourbon & Beyond Festival – arrives in sync with the September 7 release of the rocker’s eleventh studio record, which once again sees him playing most of the instruments himself alongside longtime guitarist Craig Ross.
The set has been previewed with “It’s Enough” and the follow-up tune, “Low”, which features an appearance by Michael Jackson that was recorded during sessions for the late pop icon’s 2001 album, “Invincible.”
The pair had worked together on the tune, “(I Can’t Make It) Another Day” – which was released after Jackson’s death in 2009; Kravitz used some ad-libs from their studio time together and incorporated them into “Low.”
“A lot of people say: ‘Oh, you’re doing that Michael Jackson impersonation,’” admits Kravitz. “No, that’s him.”
A Lenny Kravitz fan presale for the “Raise Vibration” US tour will begin Tuesday, July 24 at 10am local time (use code "VIBRATION"), with general public tickets available on Friday, July 27.
The rocker is currently winding down a summer European trek that will wrap up in Colmar, France on July 30.
