Mama Said
Released
No, 4:44 isn’t the greatest infidelity apology album in music history. At the time of Let Love Rule’s release, Lenny Kravitz and his wife, actress Lisa Bonet, were biracial bohemian couple of the year. By Mama Said, songs like the Curtis Mayfield-spirited “It Ain’t Over ’til It’s Over,” “Stand by My Woman” and “More Than Anything in This World” all indicated trouble in paradise. His divorce was finalized in 1993, but Kravitz’s lovelorn sophomore album of rock and soul stood the test of time.
