Sealed 2011 2LP Gatefold Original. “Unlike The Monochrome It Is Time For A Love Revolution, Black And White America Pulsates With Color And Texture, Playing Somewhat As A Return To His One-Man Band Hippie Fantasias. If Anything, This Is Looser Than Let Love Rule And Mama Said And More Forward-Thinking Too, The Mayfield-Isms Offset By Heavy Synthesizers And Dance Beats, The Overall Package Bearing A Modernist Snap To Its Retro Revivalism. Even With That Stylized Flair And Cameos From Jay-Z And Drake, Black And White America Never Quite Feels Like It Belongs To 2011; It Seems As Fuzzy And Analog As Its Cover Photo Of A Young Kravitz, Which Is Of Course A Large Part Of Its Appeal.” – S.T. Erlewine, AMG
