Strut is the name of Kravitz’s latest album.  Released in September 2014 via Roxi Records / Kobalt Label Services, the disc includes “New York City,” “I Never Want To Let You Down” and “She’s A Beast.” The folks at Rolling Stone took a liking to Strut and made it one of the magazine’s top albums of 2014.

Today’s tour announcement comes on the heels Kravitz’s new single release – “The Pleasure and the Pain.”  Check it out the slightly NSFW video embedded below.
