"'Heaven Help'" is the third single taken from American rock musician Lenny Kravitz' third studio album, 'Are You Gonna Go My Way' (1993). The song made a brief appearance on the US 'Billboard' Hot 100, reaching number 92. In the United Kingdom, it became his second top-twenty hit from 'Are You Gonna Go My Way', peaking at number 20, and in Canada and New Zealand, the song reached the top 30. It was included on Kravitz' greatest hits album 'Greatest Hits'.
Critical reception
Bill Speed and John Martinucci from the 'Gavin Report' noted that "accompanied simply by a piano and guitar, Kravitz comes with a soulful love song that's reminiscent early '70s soul ballads recorded with real instruments." The magazine's Dave Sholin concluded, "This release should help win him even more fans." Music writer James Masterton commented in his weekly UK chart commentary, "Third hit in a row for the superstar finds him this time wearing his Isley Brothers influences on his sleeve." Alan Jones from 'Music Week' wrote, "A gentle and intimate delight, sweet and understated, with hints of Curtis Mayfield. Given plenty of airplay, there's no reason why it shouldn't make the Top 20."
Music video
A music video was produced to promote the single, directed by Per Gustafsson.
