Blue Electric Light will mark the first full-length release from Kravitz since Raise Vibrations arrived in 2018. The musician recently described the vibe of the album as "Celebration. Life. Humanity. Love. Sexuality. Sensuality. Spirituality." He added that the title of the record, and now the Vegas residency, came to him late in the recording process. Kravitz played most of the instruments on the project alongside guitarist Craig Ross.

"My definition of success was that I was really proud of the albums and of the recordings. But I didn't care that they were hits or they sold," Kravitz told Rolling Stone in 2020, reflecting on his decades-long career. "I missed some moments where I should have been smelling the flowers. And so I'm now at a place in the last few years of my life where when I have any kind of success, I stop and I take a moment to take it in, because you should. I was always like, 'Yeah, whatever,' because my head was so stuck in the artistry and the making of these things. I didn't take that in and I should have."
