- Why Critics hated Lenny Kravitz music.
Rockstar Lenny Kravitz has had a pretty impressive career staying relevant for nearly 4 decades and selling over 50 million albums worldwide. He’s also branched out into hollywood, appearing in blockbuster films and honestly he looks incredible for his age, given he’s in an industry where alcohol and drugs frequently take their toll. But it wasn’t an easy road for the musician who had to fight tooth and nail to be taken seriously, Not only that but, being mixed race the media, which loves to label people, didn’t know what to ake of him. In todays video, let’s talk about why critics didn’t count themselves a fan of lenny kravitz early in his career
Growing up in both los angeles and new york, Kravitz by the age of 10 was already playing guitar and writing his own songs. His mother Roxie Roker was on the tv show the Jeffersons, while his father Sy Kravitz was an executive at cbs. He would be mixed racee - being half black and half jewish. He would learn classical music and would perform wit hthe california boys choir and even recorded with Zubin Mehta. HBut by the time he attended beverly hills highschool - which was also attended by future guns n’ roses guitarist Slash, actress Gina Gershon and actor Nicolas Cage, Kravitz initially had aspirations of being a session musician, but by the time he graduated from high school he realized he he wanted to become a star in his own right and not go to college. Kravitz’s father agreed to support his son’s aspirations and took the money he set aside for his college fund to book studio time to do some recordings. It was early in his career, Kravitz used the moniker Romeo Blue. Kravitz was a fan of using vintage recording equipment and real instruments in the studio.
It was between the time he graduated high school and the late 80’s Kravitz got numerous offers from record labels, turning all but one of them down. He would tell the kansas city star “they wanted trendy black music, which i hate. They’d say ‘this is too white. You have to get your black base first. Then you can cross over. They want everyone black to get a drum machine and make a funk record. That was a big issue. What i’m doing is black music anyway. Rhythm and blues, rock and roll.” Kravitz would end up signing a deal with virgin records.
In 85 Kravitz would meet his future first wife, Cosby Show star Lisa Bonet, and the two would eventually get married having a daughter, Zoe. . Kravitz would tell the associated press how crazy the media attention was before he even released his first record recalling “being that i was married to her, people were interested in what i was doing. I was on the cover of all these magazines, just because i was married to her. Who is this guy? Adding what if i came to see you because your wife is so and so. If that’s what brings people out, fine. But I’ve got something to say. I’m not interested in being mr. bonet.“”.
It was in 1989 Kravitz released his debut album Let Love Rule, with Kravitz producing the work, writing all the songs, playing almost all the instruments and bonet co-writing two songs. It was at the urging of his label, he dropped the name romeo blue and went back to lenny kravitz. The album was a hit in american and overseas. Kravitz would cite john lennon, bob marley, lou reed and jimi hendrix as the main influences on his debut record. Kravitz would tell the kansas city star “i’m not hip to the way records sound today. All this digital , But some critics didn’t call themselves a fan, with some being especially hard.
One frequent criticism was thatlet love rule was too derivative of 60’s pop, funk and soul, Kravitz wore his influences too much and that he sounded too much like elvis costello
The boston globe would write in 1989 “if you’ve heard anything at all about lenny kravitz, you’ve probably heard he’s tv star lisa bonet’s husband. But kravitz is also a singer/songwriter bandlateder with a just released virgin debut record ‘Let Love Rule’ and when it comes to an artist in his own right, well…he’s lisa bonet’s husband. Ouch..” …adding “There is however one problem. Lenny Kravitz is terrible…He couldn’t sing his way out of a paperbag…” they would add his lyrics are quite trite and that onstage he has a self important attitude.

Do you guys count yourselves a fan of Lenny Kravitz? I do! Also, do you want a full blown history on his career?
Bought his first five albums, his music was the soundtrack of the '90s.
Love him
Yes I am a fan of Lenny Kravitz! I love music, all genres! I do have my favorite bands! 🤘🏻✌🏼😊
Can't stand him. Sorry.
Yes.
When my cousin was dying of cancer Lenny Kravits sent tickets to the hospital he was in, everyone that was not plugged in was taken to the show, VIP seats and a personal meeting with Lenny after the show, they were all thrilled, So the man is OK with me.
I always knew that Lenny Kravitz is one cool dude.
I think the fact that Prince performed live with Lenny in '99 is testament that Lenny is a true musician.
Always had a soft spot for "It ain't over till it's over"
Me too but dude doesn't have an ounce of originality..looks good/celebrity baby = star
Only song i like of his.
@@bigmack2262same
aka "That's the Way of the World" by Earth, Wind, & Fire
@@artyangst Thank you I didn't know this. Just listening to EW&F now. It can hear the obvious influence or homage.
People hated him as he was never going their way
or maybe cause Lenny has secret wings to fly away from critics.
@@kenterminateddq5311
Or maybe because he wanted to stand by MY woman
But Lenny knew, all you need to do is Believe in yourself
He never belonged to them, and they never belonged to him.
He was "always on the run" it seems.
Really good artist in the 90's but kinda got lost in the 2000's. His unique blend of funk, soul, rock n' roll is fantastic breath of fresh air
I feel about the same and I thought it's funny that 'the critics began to like him with the album Circus' because that's the point where I wasn't interested anymore.
Absolutely.
Yup, after 2000 everything I heard from him was terrible. I didn’t do a deep dive into his albums then to be fair though. Not like most other musicians 4, 5, 6 ect albums don’t suck either.
So...is he "kinda lost", or is he a "breath of fresh air"?
"I dont need anybody's validation" I miss nineties attitude, so much.
Modern day is polar opposite and it's loathesome.
@@Axolotl_Mischief What's loathesome is you dufuses constantly romanticizing every bygone era as being so much better than "today" like if it was 1994 you wouldn't instead be bitching about how music is dying now and things were so much better in the 60s/70s. Musicians have more independence now than ever due to social media, sites like Soundcloud, Bandcamp, etc. giving them a platform without a label breathing down their necks. Overall it's not necessarily better or worse, it's DIFFERENT. If you seriously can't find music that is worthwhile today then that's a you problem, especially when all kinds of retro styles of music are finding resurgences with the younger generations, so quit being a lazy old cynical fart and get with it lol.
Although I miss this too it feels harsh pinning it on young people (not that you are). If you grow up feeling insecure and powerless then give someone social media that gives you a feeling that you have some control or belong to a group then it's understandable you'll be drawn in.
@@stuartmorley6894that’s how music scenes formed back in the day
The year was 1996’
The event was the H.O.R.D.E
Festival at oak mountain amphitheater
In Pelham Alabama
The line up
Was Rusted Root Lenny Kravitz
and the Blues Travelers
Lenny was performing at the time
He walks off stage
While the band played on
We was seated about a quarter way up the amphitheater
Directly in front of the stage
All of a sudden the people to the right of us was going crazy
I asked my buddy
What the hell was going on
He looked over and said I be damn
It’s Lenny Kravitz in the crowd
I was like
What the f *** man
Sure enough it was him
He popped up through a secret tunnel
There was a gentleman setting there by the entrance way in a
Wheelchair
Lenny finished the song that they where playing
Turned around and handed the gentleman his Flying V guitar
Gave him a hug
And thanked him for coming to the show
I been a die hard Kravitz fan since
It spoke volumes about the man !
By the way it ranks up there in my top three concerts
Big John didn’t disappoint either a great show
I was at the HORDE in Houston 1996✌🏿
Nice
Agreed 100 %%%%%%%55 ! :)
I tought this wur lyrics for a song 😅
Seen him 3 times and it's a fantastic concert...very personal and personable. The overall vibe is something you wish you could live every day.
The one song that came out heavy from him that i loved is Are you gonna go my Way...
That heavy riff and his singing made that a huge hit. He produced the song and also wrote it and Craig Ross.
Oh! He was writing music at 10? That explains his song “Fly Away”
Dumbest, most annoying song ever
It's amazing what a decent baseline can do to a boring song.
BINGO
You know what? I'm pretty sure I wrote the words to that song word for for word in third grade. I think a bunch of us did.
His music doesn't do it for me, but I have respect for the man. Btw, critics can bite me as a rule. I'll listen to the Carpenters, I'll listen to Boyd Rice, I'll listen to Deicide. I don't need the snarky pseudo intellectual posturings of self important critics to shape my musical tastes. The man does what he does, and I respect that.
Deicide 🤘
When I think snarky pseudo intellectual hipster nonsense I think of Anthony Fantano. 🤮
Dead by Dawn!💪🤘♥️ I agree 💯 with this statement
The Carpenters were supposed to open for Deicide,most people don't know that.
monkies, I disagree. I like "Are you gonna go my way?", "Fly Away" and a few others.
Maybe, Lenny's only hit song that I don't care for is "Ain't It Over" song. Pretty pretentiously boring song if you ask me.
You hit a HOME RUN !!! Well said !!! :)
His first record was good
Man, I was in my mid-teens and suffering the consequences of unrequited love in high school in January 1992 when I watched the video for “Always On The Run” at a friend’s place (he had access to MTV, unlike me back then). It was one thing that cheered the living hell out of me, both because it was 100% true rock and roll and because Slash played on that song. It was a nice start to a period of time which would become musically way richer due to the subsequent meteoric rise in popularity of grunge.
You Better Believe It.
He comes across as what would happen if the writers and editors of Cosmopolitan and Teen Vogue had tried to create a rock star in the 90s
too much image and too many gimmicks? seems sad to me- because i don't think he needs it.
Agree. Smoke and mirrors
He's a caricature of a rockstar.
From the way he talks, the way he dresses, the music he makes.... he's a walking, talking cliche.
Yuppie generation's Jimi Hendrix
that's close to the same way I feel about Gary Clark Jr. He always looks like he just stepped out of a session with his stylist.
I was backstage at a Lenny show with a friend of mine when Lenny nodded at us as he walked by, I held out my hand n said nice to meet you he looked right past me grabbed my friend's hand which was not extended and started shaking it. He said hey blood nice to see you. Needless to say my friend is black. That was my experience meeting Lenny Kravitz.
sure he did.
@@seanmckelvey6618 It happened whether you want to believe it or not.
Classic insecure half white guy move.
He's a poser. F him anyway.
He was probably tickled that a Black fan was supporting him....because most Blacks do not support Black Artists outside of the main pigeonholed genres.
Sorry, but I have to agree with some of his critics. Always thought he came off a bit of a poser.
With ya. He only needed some songs to get him into everyone’s brain, then have him tell us what he thinks about this or that and sit back while the star struck audience follows along; ironically they had one for every occasion so we all got suckered at one point or another. They call that being an “influencer” today.
I think mostly he wasn't liked because he wasn't good.
Makes you wonder why we actually need critics in the first place.
We don't
All the critics love you in New York.
critics- as in "rolling stone" editors, seem like failed musicians- with a dash of jealousy thrown in. they KNOW- no matter what the fans think!
We don't. Art is entirely subjective.
I wouldn't say he stayed relevant at all.
Saw the thumbnail. Is it because he's a crap, watered down, sanitised version of rock?
I've always liked Lenny Kravitz's music. The first thing I bought from that band was the cassette single "It ain't over till it's over". Good times!
Lenny is a boss. Gr8 music
Tbf promoting voting and then not voting do be wack
Crazy, i searched "about lenny kravitz" and got your result for "28 minutes ago", perfect timing! Love watching your videos! Keep em up, and make the ones you want even if they're different, we'll watch
Awesome! Thank you!
Nepo Industry Plant
Exactly and now his daughter is continuing the cycle
BINGO
Bingo. I never got down with him and his persona. Everything handed to him.
It is what it is. Some ppl are blessed to get thru certain doors. Even to a lesser degree in corporate.
@satevo462 Please! Nothing was handed to him! The man is very talented and made it on his own no one handed him anything and People all over the world love him and his music!
I worked on a music tv show that had him on. He had a 14/15 yo girlfriend that staff were told to pretend they didn’t know about…
pretty vague and irresponsible without receipts....
@@CoolHandLukeDuke cool I didn’t take pictures as evidence or anything
@@sargonsblackgrandfather2072 - Didn't ID the girl either, apparently...
He was amazing right out the gate. Hearing this hate is news to me , he was cutting edge and was leaning into classic rock made him stand out. Still a great artist
Looked like Milly Vanilly and sounded like Diet Hendrix. The ladies loved him though.
"...Diet Hendrix". I like that. 😄
Oh yes, please and thank you...if I wasn't a carnivore I'd love him even more, though I've only heard like 5 songs of his, but he can sing baah baah black sheep and I'd still be entranced...😂😂😂
His album Strut is one of my favorite albums of all time, an instant classic for him, and coming up on its ten year anniversary soon.
To me he's like a fashion designer holding a guitar.....not a rock star.
To be fair that's most rock stars.
Hand Giorgio Armani a fucking guitar and see what comes out of it...
@@CoolHandLukeDuke Actually, Giorgio Armani wrote the riff for "Smoke on the Water." I thought everyone knew that.
To me he is a Hendrix wannabe without Jimi's talent and skill.
Tell that to the 50 million albums he's sold.
Lenny was brave enough to do things his way and be himself and that it's self is always gonna draw criticism
remember when the label tried to sell him as "romeo blue"? that kinda did it for me. can you say "johnny cougar"? lol
Industry plant
Mama said was such a awesome album. I loved the circus and let love rule album also. Black Velveteen one of my favorite songs is a good heavy heavy song
Lots of good memories to Lenny's music back in the 90s. Soundtrack to some of the best days in my life
I remember his albums getting strong reviews for his old school Hendrixesque guitar play and innovative style
I never really got into his music. I remember there was a lot of hype around him especially with Lisa Bonet.
Lenny has 0 % originality and that annoys music reviewers. Rightfully so.
WELL DUDE... NEARLY EVERY 'EURO'/PALM-COLORED 'MUZISIAN' HAS ZERO 'ORIGINALITY', BUT SHAMELESSLY 'CANNIBALIZE/VULTURIZE, MIMIC, APPROPRIATE, IMITATE, & SHAMELESSLY ROB/PILLAGE/RANSACK BLAK'MELINATED CULTURE PROLIFICALLY, SAY, ALA, PRESLEY, JOPLIN, TIMBERLAKE, & OTHER SO-CALLED 'BLEU IYE'D ?SOUL? MUZICIAN; WHICH IS A LIE! ''THEY' PISS ON BLAK' CULTURE & TAKE CREDIT 4 INNOVATIONS, PIONEERING, INVENTIONS, BUT ...AU CONTRAR`E, ITS ALL A TWISTED INVENTION OF 'WISHFUL STINK'IN THINKIN' FANTASY! PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING CLAIMED IS BLAK' MELINATED 'STOLEN LEGACY'... PERIOD!!
Led Zeppelin made millions stealing old blues songs. The entire Chess catalog was pillaged by the hard rock and metal artists that you hear today. No one questions their originality.
@@saj8THAT part
@@saj8led Zeppelin took their influences and made it into their own new and improved sound, when it came to playing guitar jimmy page took it to a new level (example, the movie the song remains the same) Lenny's music just sounded like music from the seventies... something we've all heard before...
@Avenged7Xs So, in other words, you have double standards when it comes to black artists.
One of the best concerts I have ever witnessed was Lenny Kravitz, in London, Wembley.
Cool. :)
Sabbath
I dig Lenny. Mama said (post Lisa Binet breakup) was a masterpiece imo. Can find something I like on every album he puts out, but the first 4 were prime time Lenny.
His work on Mick Jagger's solo album was great, in fairness.
We all Love Lenny Kravitz music he is multi talented artist and also designer and seems down to earth and approachable too. Congratulations to Lenny Kravitz on his star on Hollywood he truly deserves it ! We his fans all over the world appreciate him and his music songs he has written author and musician & designer ! Clean life style and sharing with the public his knowledge plant based diet !✍✍💞💞💞💞👑💫💫💎💎💎💎💎💙💜💖💚❤
I like Lenny. His songs are catchy even if they’re pop rock flavored. Love the live version of Always On The run with GnR
He was basically Milli minus a Vanilli.
Perfect description,how some people without talent sale so much is always a slap in the face of some great musician's that deserve to be well known
My critisism of his music, is that all his songs sound like they were written after he was listening to the radio and just copied stuff
I remember hearing his second album and naming off every song he was copying track for track (EWF, Curtis Mayfield, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix), but lesser attempts in every instance.
I saw him open for Tom Petty with his 1st album. He had one spot light on him and like 1/4 of the stage. Kravitz brought the house down, the sheer energy, one of the best shows I've ever seen.
You should have more subs dude. Always good stuff. Keep it up!
I appreciate that!
He was basically the 90s music industry rehash of Jimi Hendrix….then, he transformed himself into something more and took control of his own image/direction.
I liked his music but understood the criticism he received.
Lenny is the best!
He's the most derivative carbon copier artist, his lyrics are so godawful, he's such an egotistical jerk, and DAMN I love his music. I'm happy for his success.
Haaaaaaaaaaaaa, -O-K-A-Y- :)
Critics aren’t always wrong. In all seriousness though I didn’t have a strong opinion of his music up through Spinning Around Over You. I thought it was all lightweight, but nothing to fuss about either way. My college roommate at the time thought he was derivative and soulless. Sadly by the time of the American Woman cover and Fly Away I was inclined to agree.
I am a fan but yes, those are two of his most insufferable songs.
He had infinite promotion.
He Is Always been an imitation of an imitation!
His first album is AMAZING!!! Second a very good follow-up. Third still really good. Then Circus was ok. Album V was phenomenal again and Kravitz sounded very Prince-like!
After that he just churns out albums, always good music but never really remarkable anymore imo.
Let love rule was a fantastic album.
Still never really loved his music. I do hear his music on radio all the time but i wonder why.
I don't think he has many fans.
lol he has sold out concerts all over the world and had sold millions of albums worldwide
The man sells millions of records, and is one of the only rockers still managing to do this. WTF r u even talking about?
@@jovanreid6782 I know, bro delusional TH-cam people. Lenny Kravitz is a multi millionaire with legions of fans worldwide.
@@jovanreid6782 sales isn't the same thing as universal love. Look at pop stars like anne-marie. Sure she has a lot of streams but people forget her when she has sales.
Lenny Kravitz never seemed to have a huge fan base like pearl jam or something
@@basman2006 A random 50 something year old White guy once came up to me and asked, "what are you listening? Got any good rock music like Lenny Kravitz?" I think that counts on some level as universal love.
Those first 3 albums he put out were fantastic. After a certain point, it seemed like he cared more about just being famous, and I moved on.
In my crowd he's called ....sir leonard of Kravitz....he is rock royality...
He's like the off brand version of things done better before him. Not bad, but also not great.
Fly Away from 1998 was stellar, everything else before and after, not so much
Congratulations, you win the most ignorant comment award.
Again is one of my favorite songs of all time! I'm not gonna apologize and I think there's alot shittier music then Lenny Kravitz out there. Especially since we're currently living in one of the worst times for pop music now. "Derivative", you ever heard of the word homage? He's an incredibly talented individual and he made some of the best popular music of the 90s! Give me a fucking break in the era of crap like Ice Spice and mediocre Taylor Swift mania, saying" Lenny Kravitz is terrible!" Maybe he helped introduce a generation to music and artists they never thought of listening to before from hearing his stuff!
Fly Away is his worst song if you ask me.
@@adamw116 Again is probably my favorite Lenny song too.
Great artist! Lenny Kravitz has space on my music list all time!
Mr. Cab Driver was a kick ass tune
I remember first hearing /watching his song Zoë in Amsterdam. Bought the album and the next few. I dug his vibe and voice. Fun to sing and play to.
I didn't know this, now I love him even more, love all of his songs!
His 2nd Album Mama Said is stacked with great tracks. Great for the car.
I appreciate him more now than I did in real time
I like the presentation of what a struggle he had. 2 millionaire parents in the entertainment industry. And gorgeous and talented. It was so hard for him.
So first the record labels refused to work with him because he wasn't doing what everybody else does? And then they bashed him for doing things the way others have done before him? WTF? I always loved his music, have listened to Mama Said, Are You Gonna Go My Way, and 5 over and over in the 90s.
Let Love Rule was a breath of fresh air when it was released. I couldn't understand why all the criticism and didn't give a fk.
He's amazing, I was just talking about him last night after seeing a Ray-Bans commercial.
Nobody loves Lenny more than Lenny
The only LK song I really dig is "Fly"..That is a hell of a tune
Funny enough, in all of his discography, that's one of the only ones I absolutely abhor. I don't even include it in my self-made definitive Lenny Kravitz playlists. Add to that "American Woman".
Love album 5! Just great songs
He knew exactly what he was doing by being Mr. Lisa Bonet. It was a calculated move and now..now..he wants to be independent and I did it on my own. I did it myyyy wayy lol.
Nothing against they guy but to me as not a fan, every hit he's had in Oz just repeats the same line continuously and they are so monotonous to me.
His music was okay, but ultimately left averaged by the shaping of time. Critics are biased.
I saw this title and I immediately agreed. Lenny Kravitz sucks.
I love old school Lenny Kravitz!
Before Fly Away and American Woman cover.
Really like Lenny. Seen him live three times in London. Looking forward to the new album due soon. One thing though he didn’t really write justify my love with or for Madonna…..see Ingrid Chavez and the settlement
Yup, us Prince fans know the real story behind that song.
Saw him do a sound check, never known someone to cry and moan so much.
Of course I'd always been aware of LK from some of the hits and the LB coverage (I had a huge crush on her growing up) but hadn't really ever looked into his music. I was working in a music store when Baptism came out and we gave it a spin and I thought it was pretty good, actually got me to buy a cheap drum kit to go along with my guitars and bass. I went into the catalogue, a bit varied, certainly some good stuff to be found, I appreciated the variety, the throw back, the attempts to work ahead, but I could hear the criticisms, as well. But, I do count myself as a fan, when he's on, he's very good, and he has a unique voice and is a good student of music. I got pretty annoyed when I heard Strut, though. The songs were groovin but I was aghast at how cut and paste they felt, I mean, literally cut and paste, like "why bother to record another chorus, just cut, slide, drop, done, next." Totally ruined what could've been fun songs. He's often been a little too simplistic, a little too formulaic, and it's a real shame because he can write, he can put together a good recording, he has his own vocal sound but I feel like he holds himself back and it's pretty frustrating. But has he collected a solid bunch of work in his 30+ years-- yes, but could he have been so much more-- yes to that, too. I mean, I wouldn't mind having his catalog, but all the missed opportunities...
He's an off brand Jimi Hendrix.
Father is CBS executive okay 😮
And now you know why you got Lenny kravitz
Let the haters say what they will but I very much enjoy Lenny Kravitz !! Cool Cat ! :)
they hate him because he didn’t come out in the music through
“the black way😂😂whatever that is”
they really just exposed their racism
they don’t like black people doing rock n roll even though WE created it
your favorite rock n roll people ALL GOT FAMOUS THROUGH A BLACK PERSON SONG
lenny is rock n roll
Rock, soul, hard rock, funk, etc. He does what he wants and critics are lost in their little world
I saw Lenny Kravitz support Aerosmith and there were a number of other bands on the bill too and even as support he was excellent.
I've always loved Lenny Kravitz. I think he's very talented musician.
He made his own music.
He had a bunch of hits.
Congratulations, Lenny.
You did your thing and you made your money.
He's never had the best lyrics, but his songs are catchy and he's a great performer. I think back to the early 90s before I listened to rock, I saw a Lenny Kravitz video. I didn't love it, but I thought it was so cool that a dreadlocked black guy was killing it was rocking out. As the narrator said in the video, all I knew of black artists up to that point was rap and r&b.
His first 3 albums were outstanding particularly the second one. Like 90% of all artist kinda blended into the musical mainstream as time went on, but he has his place in music history.
Kravitz does what he likes to do and lots of people like it when it does it. I do think that he lives and performs a persona which is constructed with bits a pieces of someone else but every now and then it resonates and is quite marketable.
Always felt derivitive to me. Lot of simple guitar parts. Always felt like he was Ben Harper wannabe to me.
😅Ben Harper is talented and can play
Mr cab driver is still my fav
That song bing-a-ling a ding ding, bing-a-ling a ding ding...they played that all - the- time
His residuals from that one track alone must be off the hook
poser lol
This seems to be from an American perspective, as in Europe we've always admired him as an extremely talented artist and musician.
He definitely had something to say. Over and over and over. Let Love Rule is a bit vague, but after repeating it about 50 times in a row, he makes his point
For whatever reason I never got into his music. 🤷🏻♀️
The reason is prob because it sucks
@@Ombrophobic I wasn’t going to say that but basically that’s why.
@@commanderbarbie2550 “it ain’t over till it’s over “ song not sure if it’s a cover or not is pretty good. Other than that I can’t stand him
I’m sure he’s tossing and turning at night over this
@@jackdempsey9644 why would I think he’s bothered by it? That’s a ridiculous expectation.
Huh, I didn't know he was a co-writer on Justify My Love.
