In preparation for the release of his new album, Strut, Lenny Kravitz is pulling out all the stops to get our attention. After flashing his sculpted chest on the Strut cover, he takes us a little further south for his latest thirst trap. On the cover of his newly-premiered single, "Sex," we have a crotch shot of Lenny showing us plenty in a pair of tight black leather pants. The cover art is enough to send heartbeats and minds racing straight to the gutter.
Lenny doesn't help matters any with the song itself, which is as provocative as its title. "Sex" is about, well no surprise here, sex, with Kravitz singing the lyrics, "Hold me, love me/Call my name, I just want you to feel me/Breathe me, tease me/Can't control how I feel when you're near me." Whew! Is it hot in here or is it just Lenny Kravitz? "Sex" slinks over a minimal rock track with just guitar, bass and drums present and Lenny's soulful vocals adding the cherry on top.
"Sex" is a fun and actually tasteful song about getting down and dirty. Despite its pause-worthy cover, Kravitz eschewed taking a vulgar route with the single. If there happens to be a music video made for this song, we'll see what direction it goes in and if he keeps it PG or ratchets it up to an R rating. Until then, "Sex" and the previous single "The Chamber" can be yours immediately when you pre-order Strut on iTunes.
