The story behind
When Lenny Kravitz went to record Supersoulfighter, the process had an air of a gathering. The song, which lasts 4:59, was conceived in his New York studio, a space that was then filled with unexpected visitors. Imagine Madonna, Chris Rock, Bobby Brown, Marilyn Manson, and Gwen Stefani dropping by while Kravitz worked on the foundations. The subsequent sessions moved to The Bahamas, specifically to Compass Point Studios, where engineer Terry Manning also handled the mixing.
This track is part of the album 5, released in May 1998. For the creation of this record, Kravitz explored digital technology, incorporating synthesizers and *tape loops* that gave the sound a particular atmosphere, mixing his rock style with influences of funk and soul, and nods to '70s music. Lenny Kravitz, born in New York in 1964, is known for his ability to fuse genres such as blues, rock, soul, and funk, often playing most of the instruments himself on his recordings.
