5  by Lenny Kravitz

The album named 5 by Lenny Kravitz indicates that it is the fifth album by the New Yorker songwriter, musician, composer, and performer. 5 was a successful work of Kravitz in 1998, marking his return to the spotlight after a three-year recording hiatus.

Here, Lenny Kravitz presents songs with a funk rock style, but there are also strong influences from contemporary music trends at the time, such as trip hop, as is the case with the first single If You Can't Say No or Take Time. In general, the musical style was less rough and closer to an easy listening atmosphere. The major hit from the album was I Belong To You, which remained on radio FM for a long time after its release. The production was by Kravitz himself, accompanied by his collaborator Craig Ross on guitar. The following year, Kravitz covered American Woman by Guess Who for the film "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me," which followed the release of five singles that emerged from 5.

The total sales of the album approach 6,000,000 copies worldwide. Half of these were sold in the U.S.
