Street Faërie is the first full-length album recorded by former Different World actress and Lenny Kravitz musical protégé, Cree Summer (1999). Summer, who is Neo-Pagan and a political and human rights activist, wove themes of racism, romantic liaisons, and spirituality into the lyrics of guitar-heavy pop and folk songs.

Summer addresses both her Canadian Indian roots and her oneness with earth (covering both the personal and universal obligations of her singer-songwriter role) on her debut album. Producer Kravitz keeps his usual retrogazing to a minimum here, allowing Street Faërie to breathe in its own organic surroundings and to develop a style more reserved than on any of his own recordings.

On this album, Lenny Kravitz is credited with the following impressive list of musical duties: bass, guitar, percussion, arranger, drums, harpsichord, organ, programming, tambourine, vocals, background vocals, clavinet, producer, mellotron, cowbell, horn arrangements, mixing, finger cymbals, drum loop and cabasa.
