Lenny Kravitz’s Are
You Gonna Go My Way album has been digitally remastered and expanded for a new
Deluxe Edition to be released on September 24th (September 23rd outside of
North America) by Virgin/UMe. The special 2CD and digital edition adds 20 bonus
tracks to the album’s original line-up, including 10 previously unreleased
recordings from Kravitz’s personal archive .
By 1993, Lenny
Kravitz had achieved global superstardom with his psychedelic brand of rock, by
way of his 1989 debut Let Love Rule and his groundbreaking 1991 follow-up, Mama
Said, which boasted no fewer than seven chart topping singles. Kravitz’s third
studio album, Are You Gonna Go My Way, was released in March 1993. The
collection’s explosive title track became a household hit, landing at No. 1 on
Billboard’s Mainstream Rock chart and propelling the album to massive success.
Among the new
Deluxe Edition’s previously unreleased recordings are six demos and outtakes
from the Are You Gonna Go My Way album sessions, as well as three early demos
Kravitz recorded for Vanessa Paradis’ self-titled 1992 album, which he produced.
“I May Not Be A Star (Light Piece For Vanessa)” has never been released in any
form, while “Travelogue” and “Lonely Rainbows” were finished and recorded by
Paradis for the album. A previously unreleased BBC Radio interview is also
included, and acoustic versions of “Believe,” “Sister,” and “Heaven Help” and
seven official B-sides are also featured, completing the commemorative reissue
of this epic album.
