Lenny Kravitz

Before the live performance of "I Love New York" in Paris on August 31, 2006, Lenny Kravitz was fresh off the release of his album "Baptism," which debuted in 2004. This album was significant as it marked his return to the musical forefront after a brief hiatus, showcasing his blend of rock, funk, and soul—a signature style that defines his work. During this period, Kravitz was actively collaborating with various artists and exploring new sounds, while also being a prominent figure in the music scene. The Confessions Tour, featuring Madonna, highlighted the excitement of that era, blending two massive talents on stage. Interestingly, Kravitz has often been noted for his retro style and passion for the analog aesthetic, reflecting his deep appreciation for classic rock influences. This performance not only celebrated their iconic song but also symbolized a vibrant moment in music during the mid-2000s.
