Following the release of his critically acclaimed new album Blue Electric Light earlier this year via Roxie Records/BMG, today, Lenny Kravitz debuts the otherworldly music video for focus track “Paralyzed.” Watch “Paralyzed” HERE.
Directed by Anthony Mandler (Jay-Z, Rihanna, Lana Del Rey), the “Paralyzed” music video depicts Kravitz and his band in a celestial landscape, haunted by mysterious figures that symbolize Kravitz’s hypnotic affection for the woman in question. Following the video’s premiere, YouTube Premium subscribers were treated to an Afterparty filled with exclusive behind-the-scenes content. Fans who don’t already have a YouTube Premium subscription can sign up for a free trial to access this exclusive content and more.
“Paralyzed,” which “sees Kravitz thrillingly go full ‘80s heavy metal” (Associated Press) punctuates the album’s slew of singles with a love-drunk groove, featuring tinges of psychedelic and heavy, blues-based influences. Kravitz’s razor sharp vocals cut through fuzzy guitar riffs and hazy synths, swelling to a gut-wrenching final plea: “Babe without your love I’m paralyzed.” It is the third single from Blue Electric Light, following “arena-ready” (GRAMMY) “TK421” and “absolutely infectious” (Forbes) “Human.”
So far this year, Kravitz was immortalized on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, received the “Music Icon Award” at the 2024 People’s Choice Awards and was honored by the CFDA with their “Fashion Icon Award” for his role as not only one of rock’s most esteemed musicians, but also a major fashion influence. Kravitz also headlined the UEFA Champions League Final Kick Off Show at Wembley Stadium in London before kicking off his expansive worldwide Blue Electric Light tour in Hamburg, Germany. As a relentless creative force—musician, writer, producer, actor, author, designer—Lenny Kravitz continues to be a global dynamic presence throughout music, art, and culture. Coming up, Kravitz will perform a special slate of Las Vegas dates at Dolby Live at Park MGM in October.
