General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Soon is the end of June...
« on: June 28, 2004, 09:46:48 am »
Hey soon we reach the end of june (3 Days left). I think soon the video or the song has to be played on the radio just becos that happens mostly to weeks before the single will be released and if Nessa want to realease it in Mid july it all has to start (with the vid and all) very very soon, or. :?:
p.s.: Sometimes the thought creep into my mind that when private radio would have been the first single we would have the album and the single allready and White Houses probably as a bonustrack. I realy dont want to think about that cos i feel kind of strange. :? :lol:
pps: sorry my english is probably not the best when i read it now once again. Sorry but, no matter :wink:

I realy saw nothing about Nessa since the last 2 years in Germany went by on the television. And then, nessa told that she wants to lie naked at a beach in mexico and what happens, shes coming on the radio (N-joy radio) and even in the Music news (Viva) on TV. Th best of all is that they say nothing about White Houses ,just in the Beginning that her next album will be called harmonium. But what should i say :arrow: sex sells :twisted:

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Nessa and lenny Kravitz
« on: June 02, 2004, 04:21:24 am »
On vanessacarlton.info someone postet an article where they say that Nessa realy works with him
Here's an article which states that Lenny Kravitz produced and/or wrote for Vanessa! Anyone know more about this or do you guys think the author made a mistake?
"Baptism" reflects post-depression Lenny Kravitz
By Gary Graff
The New York Times
Lenny Kravitz's new album, "Baptism," opens on a tongue-in-cheek note with the song "I Don't Want to Be a Star." But the fact is, like it or not, Kravitz is a star.
The son of television producer Sy Kravitz and the late actress Roxie Roker, Kravitz has fashioned a 13-year career laden with platinum albums and a string of hits, as well as four consecutive Grammy Awards from 1998 to 2001 for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance.
He's produced and written for newcomers such as Vanessa Carlton and Cree Summer, plus established artists from Mick Jagger to Madonna.
Given this track record, he could be excused for being overly happy. But Kravitz says that many of the songs on "Baptism" deal frankly with a heavy bout of depression from which he was "reborn" prior to making the album.
"It was just a lot of things in my life, I think," he says. "Not accepting myself, not being happy about certain things in my personal life, just things that got me in a rut."
Kravitz, 40, is a New York native who spent part of his childhood in California, where he attended high school with future Guns N' Roses guitarist Saul "Slash" Hudson. He has a 15-year-old daughter from his marriage to actress Lisa Bonet, which ended in 1991, and more recently has been linked to actress Nicole Kidman.
Depression hit him particularly hard in summer 2002, Kravitz says, when he was on tour with Pink to promote his album "Lenny" (2001).
"That was my hardest tour to get through," he recalls. "After the gig I'd go back to sleep, and I would sleep the entire day until the show the next day. I basically drew the curtains and stayed in these little hotel rooms, and the only time I came out was to do the show. You can imagine, after a year of that, it's pretty bad.
"I definitely went and did some therapy and talked a lot of things out," Kravitz says. "And when you come out of something, you see where you've been and you see where you want to go, and it's just like, 'Wow, I'm out of that and I just feel reborn!"' "Baptism" was actually born of an entirely different project.
Despite - or perhaps because of - his depression, Kravitz was working on what he calls "an intentional funk record, a really funky, psychedelic, dirty, kind of basement record" that he says he'll finish at some point. But as his mind cleared and his spirits improved, he knew that it wasn't the kind of music he wanted to be making at the moment.
"I completely stopped that record and began this one," Kravitz says, "because it was like, 'This is now, this is fresh. This is what I'm feeling, what I've just gone through, and I need to let it out."'
And though the singer/songwriter says that he doesn't really look for unifying themes in his albums while he's making them, he admits that "Baptism" is intended to convey positive messages to its listeners.
"I can only write what I'm feeling," Kravitz says. "Just getting through what I went through, knowing that life is precious and each moment should be lived to its fullest, those kinds of confirmations just lead to those kinds of songs."
Crafted at Kravitz's home studio in Miami and at a facility he owns in New York's Edison Hotel, where Duke Ellington and other jazz greats used to record, "Baptism" finds him treading some new creative ground. The most striking innovation is "Storm," which features a guest appearance from rapper Jay-Z, who had previously hosted Kravitz on "Guns & Roses," a track from his album "The Blueprint2: The Gift & the Curse" (2002).
It marks Kravitz's first foray into rap on one of his own albums.
"I've never tried to do anything to try to fit any time or trend or what's popular," he says. "I only do what the songs want and need. I thought (Jay-Z) would have the right flow, the right feeling, for the track, but I wasn't sure if he was where I was.
"I said, 'You do know that this song is about God,"' he recalls. "And he's like 'Ohhh.' He was actually starting to go in the direction of thinking about a girl. Once he got that, he started over on it. He just listened to it over and over and over, and had his head down on a desk, listening and listening. Then he walked out and just nailed it in one take. It was pretty impressive."
Kravitz also briefly butted heads with Virgin Records after he delivered "Baptism." Virgin executives said that they didn't hear a hit.
He eventually agreed to go back and create the "one more slammin' track" they were asking for. The result was "Minister of Rock 'n' Roll," a good-humored "rock-'n'-roll fantasy thing" that nevertheless reflects the anger he felt at having to create it in the first place.
Ironically, though Virgin liked the new track, one of the existing songs, "Where Are We Runnin'?" wound up being selected as the first single.
As with his previous albums, Kravitz made most of "Baptism" himself, playing all the instruments except for occasional contributions from guest stars such as his touring guitarist Craig Ross or saxophonists Henry Hirsch and David Sanborn.
He took a spare approach to the instrumentation but did pay careful attention to the flow of the music as he recorded the individual parts.
"I know where everybody's going because I am everybody, man," he says with a laugh. "I like doing it that way."
Is someone able to give more informations about that cos im realy interested in that. So i wait for answers!!!!
