2x12" Greaatest Hits LP on Heavyweight Vinyl & Includes Free Download Code For The LP.
Lenny Kravitz's greatest gift is that he's a master synthesist, pulling together different sounds and styles from eras past to create a sound that isn't necessarily blazingly original, but fresh due to his craft and sheer mastery of the studio. Since he was an unabashed classicist, his records often suffered the brunt of nasty criticism, but they were often very good, particularly early in his career before he indulged in the mannerisms of guitar-blasting stadium rock. Even if Circus and 5 were sunk by their own bloat, they still had good singles, as did those early albums, so the 2000 collection Greatest Hits is a terrific encapsulation of Kravitz at the peak of his talents. Certainly, there are some fan favorites missing, and the non-chronological sequencing is maddening (two of his three worst singles are within the first three songs), but it does boast the magnificent new single "Again," along with such seminal Kravitz moments as "Are You Gonna Go My Way," "Mr. Cabdriver," "Stand By My Woman," "Always on the Run," "Believe," "Let Love Rule," and "It Ain't Over Til It's Over," which is enough to make this a first-class greatest-hits compilation. After all, it doesn't just have all the main songs, it also illustrates that he indeed is a master synthesist.

Leonard Albert Kravitz (born May 26, 1964) is an American singer, musician, songwriter, record producer, and actor. His debut album, "Let Love Rule" (1989), established a musical style that incorporates elements of rock, funk, reggae, hard rock, soul, and R&B, which continued to characterize his subsequent releases.
Kravitz has achieved commercial success with several singles. "It Ain't Over 'til It's Over" (1991) and "Again" (2000) both reached the top ten of the US Billboard Hot 100. Other notable songs include "Let Love Rule" (1989), "Always on the Run" (1991), "Are You Gonna Go My Way" (1993), "Fly Away" (1998), and "American Woman" (1999), which were top ten hits on the Alternative Airplay chart. He has won multiple awards, including the Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance, which he received four consecutive years from 1999 to 2002, setting records for both the most wins and the most consecutive wins in that category by a male artist. Kravitz has sold over 40 million albums worldwide and was ranked number 93 on VH1's list "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock".
In addition to his music career, Kravitz has acted in films such as "Precious" (2009) and the first two installments of "The Hunger Games" film series (2012–2013). He founded the creative firm Kravitz Design Inc. Kravitz was previously married to Lisa Bonet, and they have one daughter, Zoë Kravitz.
