"Welcome to the New Power Generation," announced
Prince in "Eye No," the opening song on his 1988 album Lovesexy. Two years later, the
Graffiti Bridge soundtrack contained "New Power Generation" with a group of the same name credited as background vocalists.
The New Power Generation was featured on
Prince's
Diamonds and Pearls (1991) and The Love Symbol Album (1992), then went on to release albums credited to the group on its own, such as Goldnigga (a platform for rapping associate
Tony M, 1993),
Exodus (1995), and New Power Soul (1998), all of which were issued on
Prince's NPG label. Despite a couple live albums, contributions to as many NPG label compilations, and a credit on
3121,
New Power Generation will always be associated primarily with
Prince's early-'90s output. ~ Andy Kellman
