"Sex" is a song written and recorded by American singer Lenny Kravitz and Craig Ross. The song was released on August 6, 2014 as the second single from Kravitz's tenth studio album Strut.[1][2]
Kravitz explained to Billboard, "This is one of my favorite tracks on the album. It was recorded with minimal instrumentation, guitar, bass and drums. The strength of the groove comes from the sparse production which creates space."[3] To shoot the music video, Kravitz hired New York photographer and director Dikayl Rimmasch, who previously worked with Jay-Z and Beyoncé. The video is black-and-white and provocative: Kravitz performs the song surrounded by two topless female dancers, their hands hiding their breasts. The film crew is entirely made up of religious figures: the director is a priest, cinematographer a monk, lighting designer a good sister.[4]
