The story behind
When you dive into Take Time, you encounter a piece that invites you to feel the groove. The song, with its 4 minutes and 32 seconds duration, envelops you in a sound that draws heavily from the '70s, mixing influences of funk and soul with the energy of rock. It's a perfect example of how Lenny Kravitz knew how to combine those styles to create something of his own, exploring the use of digital technology like synthesizers and tape loops that give it a particular texture.
The recording of this track, and of the album 5 to which it belongs, took place between late 1997 and early 1998. A large part of the work was done in the studio that Kravitz had in his New York home, a space that received visits from figures like Madonna and Chris Rock. Subsequent sessions moved to Compass Point Studios in The Bahamas, under the supervision of engineer and mixer Terry Manning. This process, which sought a distinctive sound, was captured on an album released in May 1998 by Virgin Records, from which several singles were released throughout 1998 and 1999.
