A NSFW getaway with Lenny Kravitz — sound enticing? That’s what you’ll get in the latest video from his 2014 album Strut. Director Dikayl Rimmasch took on the smooth, brassy rock joint “Pleasure and the Pain” and ended up with this steamy black and white video. Watch it at Rolling Stone.
But it’s not all skinny dipping, motorcycles, and sunshine (even though that is a lot of it). Kravitz and his girl get into their share of squabbles (get it, “Pleasure and the Pain”?) but in the end, the power of rock and roll and being really, really good looking makes things turn out all right.
