Nolwenn is the debut album of the Star Academy France second season winner, Nolwenn Leroy. It featured some of the top French songwriters such as Alain Souchon, Laurent Voulzy, Lara Fabian, Pascal Obispo and Lionel Florence. After having been #1 for one week, the album was certified platinum with more than 300,000 copies sold as of November. As of 2006, Universal International claims that more than 600,000 albums have been sold.

The first single, "Cassé" (Broken)ranked #1 in France. The video clip shows Nolwenn singing in a dark dress and making photoshoots.

The second single to be released of the album was "Une Femme Cachée" (A Hidden Woman). The single ranked #40 in France, which is considered quite a failure compared to her first single, "Cassé". The single had a music video portraying Nolwenn witnessing a little girl acting like a grown up lady.

The third single, "Suivre Une Etoile", was more successful and peaked at #12. The fourth and last extract from the album, "Inévitablement", was #31.
