Sobre el álbum
El sexto álbum de estudio del artista, Lenny, de 2001, es una obra que lo encuentra en un estado de gracia, consolidando la fusión de rock, funk y electrónica que tan bien le había funcionado en su anterior trabajo. En este disco, Lenny Kravitz se muestra más seguro y relajado, entregando una colección de canciones de una calidad y un groove extraordinarios.
El sonido del álbum es una evolución natural de "5". La producción sigue siendo moderna y pulcra, pero con un toque aún más orgánico y cálido. El disco contiene el gran éxito "Dig In", una potente canción de rock con un mensaje de autoafirmación que le valió otro premio Grammy.
El álbum incluye la hermosa balada "Stillness of Heart" y el funky "Believe in Me". En este trabajo se percibe a un Lenny Kravitz que ha encontrado un equilibrio perfecto entre sus influencias clásicas y la producción contemporánea.
"Lenny" es un álbum fantástico. Es el sonido de un artista en la cima de su madurez creativa, un trabajo que, por consiguiente, no solo fue un éxito de crítica y público, sino que también se ha convertido en uno de los favoritos de sus seguidores por su consistencia y su calidad.

Letra
Ooohoooh yeah You think you're on top of the world But you know it's really over Runnin' round with diamond rings And coke spoons that are overflowin' Rock and roll is dead But all the money in the world Can't buy you from the place you're going to Ooohoooh yeah Rock and roll is dead [X3] You can't even sing or play an instrument So you just scream instead Oh yeah You're living for an image So you got five hundred women in your bed Oh yeah Rock and roll is dead But it's real hard to be yourself When you're living with those demons in your head Ooohoooh yeah Rock and roll is dead [X3] Rock and roll is dead [X7] - Fly Away

I was born long ago I am the chosen, I'm the one I have come to save the day And I won't leave until I'm done So that's why you've got to try You got to breath and have some fun Though I'm not paid, I play this game And I won't stop until I'm done But what I really want to know is Are you gonna go my way? And I got to, got to know I don't know why we always cry This we must leave and get undone We must engage and rearrange And turn this planet back to one So tell me why we got to die And kill each other one by one? We've got to hug and rub-a-dub We've got to dance and be in love But what I really want to know is Are you gonna go my way? And I got to got to know Are you gonna go my way? 'Cause baby I got to know, yeah - Again
