Stroke of Genius is the seventh studio album by American R&B singer Gerald Levert. It was released by Elektra Records on October 21, 2003, in the United States.
In his review for AllMusic, David Jeffries found that Stroke of Genius "is one of the best arguments yet that Gerald LeVert needs to slow down his release schedule and trust someone else in the producer's chair for once. After 1998's Love & Consequences, Levert fell into a rut, releasing one underwhelming album after another. His voice is fine and he still does the convincing pillow talk, but like his last few releases, the material isn't there. Too often he turns to R. Kelly-styled strip-club music way beyond his reach, with the embarrassing "Knock, Knock, Knock" being the worst offender." Laura Checkoway from Vibe wrote that LeVert has "always been most comfortable making smooth love music. And when he keeps it slow and steady, the outcome is indeed a small stroke of brilliance."
