Lenny Kravitz admitted he hoped the world would be in a better state by now when he wrote his debut single Let Love Rule nearly three decades ago.
The 54-year-old singer released the single in 1989. It featured the lyric that “love can conquer any war”.
In an interview with Man About Town, he said: “If you asked me 30 years ago when I first said Let Love Rule where we’d be now, I would have thought we’d be in a much better place.
“The world goes generally in one direction, of not being compassionate, of not showing humanity. War. Greed. Power. But many of us know that it’s about love and that love is the answer and our key to survival. So even if things are going in one direction, I don’t get fazed by that. I don’t become cynical. I’m always on the side of love.”
The star is about to release his new album Raise Vibration, which features a song dedicated to Johnny Cash and June Carter whom he said comforted him when his mother died in 1995.
