Did you know that Lenny Kravitz, the rock legend who's been around waaaay back since I was in high school, just released a brand new album? Written while on breaks during his filming of Catching Fire, Lenny Kravitz's new album, Strut, is both gritty and glamorous, encompassing everything that made me fall in love with Kravitz as a teen in the 90's.
Oh wait, did I just date myself?
The Walmart’s Souncheck artist-of-the-month is Lenny Kravitz and will be a three episode series to promote his new album with a live performance and interview!
If you aren't familiar with the Walmart Soundcheck platform, get with it! Soundcheck is Walmart's original performance series that allows you to get up close and personal with your favorite musicians, Like Lenny Kravitz! You can watch live performances and exclusive behind-the-scenes footage from original in-studio sets - all filmed exclusively in HD!
Walmart Soundcheck was down in Miami late last month with an exclusive live performance by Lenny Kravitz himself.
While I wasn't able to make the event due to a meeting that ran late, I watched with a tinge of jealousy as other Miamians raved about his performance on Twitter.
Many thanks @TheRebelChick for the tickets to see @LennyKravitz tonight @WMSoundcheck #Miami! Amazing! Sorry I didn't see you there!

So much awesome happening right there! Sometimes life just isn't fair, y'all!
While I may have missed the live performance, I still have the pleasure of checking out the videos and Walmart Soundcheck's interview with the Grammy-winning rockstar/moviestar where he talks about his roots, an upcoming tour and the process of making this new album.
Strut is about being proud of who you are; accepting yourself. We're all individuals. We're all freaks of some kind and we shouldn't have to worry about society's version of what's beautiful or what's acceptable. We're all different, we're all beautiful.
Walmart Soundcheck is presenting three episodes in the Lenny Kravitz series, and the first is available today on Walmart.com/Soundcheck! Check it out to watch Lenny Kravitz perform his new song, “Let Love Rule”!

Hi Jenn,
Oh yes, you dated yourself but that is okay because the 90s were an awesome time in music!
I can only imagine how crushed you must have been to miss out on Kravitz's concert in Miami, the photos from the show look amazing. Leave that meeting early next time - that is no excuse to miss out on his show!

I loved him back in the day, but heard him on AGT and was in shock. I didn't think he sounded as good. Which was sad. Hoping it was just a bad performance cause he rocked it once.
