Unlike previous Prince albums, the majority of Diamonds And Pearls was recorded with The New Power Generation, a group he had assembled largely from the Twin Cities area. They shared cultural backgrounds and localised experiences, and helped Prince connect his past influences to the present creating a new uplifting blend of hip-hop, dance, gospel, and pop that would bring him to the top of the charts worldwide.

The New Power Generation was a band that Prince believed in so wholeheartedly that he gave them co-credit on the cover of Diamonds And Pearls, something he’d only done previously with one other band, The Revolution. The group consisted of Sonny Thompson (vocals & bass), Damon Dickson (vocals & percussion), Rosie Gaines (vocals & keyboards), Michael Bland (drums), Kirk Johnson (vocals & percussion), Tony M (vocals), Levi Seacer, Jr. (bass, guitar & vocals), and Tommy Barbarella (keyboards).

Diamonds And Pearls was unveiled to the world on October 1, 1991, and it instantly had a huge commercial and cultural impact, becoming the biggest selling non-soundtrack album of Prince’s career. Over the past three decades, the reasons for its enormous success have been discussed extensively. Not least of these was Prince’s decision to finally engage with major television exposure and an extensive tour of Europe, Japan and his first trip to Australia. The album also offered a diverse collection of sounds that could appeal to a wide variety of listeners. Diamonds And Pearls had something for everyone.

(Early Mix - Full Version"
"Diamonds And Pearls" ist das dreizehnte Studioalbum
von Prince - und es war zugleich das erste mit seiner
neuen Begleitband The New Power Generation . Wie
sehr die Chemie zwischen den Musiker:innen stimmte,
lässt sich neben den glänzenden Kritiken auch an den
Zahlen ablesen: Sechs gewaltige internationale Singles
brachte das 1991 veröffentlichte Album hervor - darunter
die Hits "Gett Off" , "Cream" und den ikonischen
Titeltrack - und war ein weltweiter Charterfolg, u. a. mit
Platz 3 und Doppelplatin in den USA, Platz 8 und Platin
in Deutschland und Platz 2 und Dreifach-Platin im UK, wo
"Diamonds And Pearls" bis heute das meistverkaufte
Album von Prince ist.
Am 27. Oktober wird Paisley Park Enterprises in
Zusammenarbeit mit Sony Music Entertainment und
Warner Records "Diamonds And Pearls" in physischer
und digitaler Form sowie als Stream neu auflegen. Das
Klassikeralbum ist zum ersten Mal in neu gemasterter
Qualität zu hören und wird nicht weniger als 47 bisher
unveröffentlichte Tracks sowie über 2 Stunden
unveröffentlichte Konzert-Performances aus Prince'
legendärem Archiv bereithalten.[info sheet from distr.]
