Lenny is the sixth album and seventh recording by rock musician Lenny Kravitz, released in October 2001 through Virgin Records. It reached #12 on the Billboard 200 and #55 on the UK Albums Chart. As of March 2008, Lenny has sold 724,000 units in the U.S, and approximately 3 million units worldwide.
The lead single, "Dig In", which reached #63 in the United States, was the album's most successful song that helped Kravitz win his fourth consecutive Grammy Award in the Best Male Rock Vocal Performance, while the song "If I Could Fall in Love" was featured on the Blue Crush soundtrack and gave Kravitz yet another nomination in the aforementioned category in 2003.
Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote for Allmusic that "5 gave Lenny Kravitz a career revival, thanks to a really big hit with "Fly Away", and he followed it with a hit, the cover of the Guess Who's "American Woman", which surely benefited from its presence on the blockbuster Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. Then, he threw out "Again" as a new track for Greatest Hits (wh[ich] sold over 3,000,000 copies worldwide), setting the stage for the return to form that's Lenny." Kravitz has joined the ranks of Michael Jackson, Prince, George Michael, writing, arranging, producing and performing every song on the album, creating a minimalist one-man show of acoustic and electric guitars, live percussion and drum programming.
