Oo la la – we’re blushing watching Lenny Kravitz’s music video for his new song The Chamber. Filmed at glamorous locations in Paris, including Lenny’s own luxurious pad, Lenny gets very naughty in this sizzling hot cinematic visual. Directed by Anthony Mandler (Taylor Swift, Jay-Z, Eminem) and featuring supermodel Rianne Ten Haken, some of the filming was at the Church of Saint-Germain and Pont Neuf (the first time it’s ever been closed for a shoot).

The racy video poses the question – is it art or is it porn? Sure, there is no twerking or butt jiggling right in your face, this is an entirely elegant approach, but it does remind us of that certain book…it’s certainly 50 Shades of Grey-inspired.
The Chamber is the lead single from Lenny’s 10th album, Strut. Having sold nearly 40 million albums in his career, guitar legend and wild child, Lenny Kravitz continues his rock ’n’ roll reign. The entire album (12 songs) explores the concept of desire in all it’s forms. “This record brought me back to a place of what I love so much about music,” Kravitz says. “Back to the feelings I had when I was in high school. It’s a real rock and roll record – it’s raw, it’s got soul and it came together really quickly.”
Catch Lenny live at Wembley Arena on December 6. The Chamber is out now on iTunes and the album Strut is released on September 23 – the first release on Kravitz’s own Roxie Records.
