Making of the album

Lenny Kravitz originally intended this album to be a 1970s style funk album. However, he changed his mind when he picked up an acoustic guitar to write the songs for the album. Instead, Kravitz recorded a more straightforward rock album similar to his 1989 album "Let Love Rule". The album also features a contribution from rapper Jay-Z. Kravitz had previously played guitar on Jay-Z's album "".

The singles released from this album were:

#"Where Are We Runnin'?"
#"California"
#"Storm" (ft. Jay-Z)
#"Calling All Angels"
#"Lady"
