To launch Blue Electric Light, Lenny Kravitz’s new album, we transformed his timeless ethos of “Universal Love” into a lived collective experience. While love in contemporary culture is often reduced to hashtags, Kravitz’s music has always embodied it as something expansive and real. The challenge was to translate that philosophy into an activation that fans could physically experience.
For 48 hours nonstop, Milan’s historic Edicola Radetzky became a living stage of love. Couples embraced, friends laughed, families connected, and individuals practiced self-love in a continuous cycle of authentic gestures. This wasn’t a symbolic stunt but an uninterrupted performance that turned the city into an open album—immersive, participatory, and inclusive.
To activate hardcore fans, we also tapped into nostalgia, calling on iconic MTV VJ Paola Maugeri—the only Italian journalist to have personally interviewed Lenny Kravitz. Through her voice and stories, she amplified the project by bridging past and present, reconnecting longtime fans with their own memories while introducing new audiences to the artist’s enduring vision.
By collapsing the distance between artist, fans, and passersby, the installation elevated the album launch into a cultural happening. Influencers and Kravitz-lore insiders joined, but it was the fans themselves who became the performers, shaping content and fueling organic virality.
The result was a fan-first, experiential activation that redefined how an album can be launched: not by announcing it, but by inviting audiences to live inside its message.
