LENNY KRAVITZ is to team up with Carla Bruni on her next album.
The rocker said he received a letter from her husband, French leader Nicolas Sarkozy, praising his work.
And the note has reportedly paved the way for a collaboration between the star and the politician's model-turned-singer partner Bruni, who Kravitz said he knew "back in the day."
Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper, a source said: "The president confessed he and his wife were massive fans - and they even named which of Lenny's songs were their favourites. He jumped at the chance to help out."
