The New Power Generation - New Power Soul

Review by Vijayant Das

New Power Soul is the ninth studio album by New Power Generation, the American funk and R&B band formed by Prince in 1990. Released on June 30, 1998, the album features 12 tracks that showcase the band's signature sound and musical versatility.

The album opens with the title track, "New Power Soul," a funky and upbeat tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band's tight rhythm section and smooth vocals are on full display on tracks like "Mad Sex" and "Freaks on This Side," while "The One" and "Come On" showcase their ability to craft catchy pop hooks.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Until U're in My Arms Again," a soulful ballad that showcases the band's softer side. Led by the powerful vocals of Shelby J., the track is a beautiful tribute to the power of love.

Summary by Vijayant Das

New Power Soul is a strong album that showcases the band's musical prowess and ability to blend funk, R&B, and pop into a cohesive sound. While it may not be as groundbreaking as some of the band's earlier work, it's a solid addition to their discography and a must-listen for fans of Prince and the New Power Generation.
