“Paralyzed” punctuates the album’s slew of singles with a love-drunk groove, featuring tinges of psychedelic and heavy, blues-based influences. Kravitz’s razor sharp vocals cut through fuzzy guitar riffs and hazy synths, swelling to a gut-wrenching final plea: “Babe without your love I’m paralyzed.”

“Paralyzed” followed singles “TK421” and “Human.” Energetic, funky and sexy all-around, Kravitz packed a punch right out of the gate with “TK421,” which was lauded by the likes of Billboard, Rolling Stone and People. Follow up single “Human” is an “absolutely infectious” anthem (Forbes), “stuffed with a thick groove of clattering percussion, chimes and a soaring chorus” (USA Today).

Overall, on the album, Kravitz’s talents as a writer, producer and multi-instrumentalist resonate as he wrote and played most of the instruments himself, with longtime guitarist Craig Ross. Ultimately, he crafted 12 tracks that are reflective of his legacy as a genre-breaking trailblazer, yet also firmly entrenched in the energy of the 21st century and beyond.
