New Power Soul
1. Newpower Soul 49. Wasted Kisses (hidden track)
. Newpower Soul is a 1998 album by The New Power Generation, but is de facto a The album sold relatively poorly despite promotional efforts and many of the reviews for the album were poor as well.[citation needed] The title track reuses the music from "Big Fun", from the album Exodus. The album is currently the last from the New Power Generation, as their own entity. Despite the negative reviews,[citation needed] the album is noted by fans for a few key tracks such as "The One", "Come On" (featuring vocals by soul legend Chaka Khan) and the bonus hidden track "Wasted Kisses".

This period is rarely celebrated, but it was one of the big turning points in his carreer: from now on his reputation was no longer based on groundbreaking albums, but on his fantastic live shows. And of course Larry Graham started to add some bass (and Jehova) and things would never be the same again. | |

i am gonna come out and say it ...
nps is the last prince record ..
much better than most critiques say .. put it on in the back ground and you will be dancing .. some of the raps are not horrible .. and the simplicity of many tunes make them decent enough .. come on is his last stone cold funk jam that is worth anything .. the one is practically a standard its so classic .. some sweet cheesy ballads on this .. mad sex has some shitty lyrics but the groove is great .. and of course wasted kisses is everybodies favorite .. jams like push it up and freaks on this side are pretty good .. i like funky music is not too bad but the mix is kinda bad .. prince could have polished this record a few more months and called it a prince record and it would have been a hit
way better than emancipation .. i consider it prince true last gasp before leaving us forever | |

and The One.
I remember being in San Francisco on the release day for NPS. Had to go to 4 different record stores to finally get it. No one at the record shops knew what I was talking about. Hadn't heard about it. Didn't have it. Prince new CD? Nope haven't heard anything. New Power what? Never heard of them. We got our order in for this week, I didn't see it anywhere. Nope not on the invoice.
Finally, the 4th place, same story as the rest, no idea. "Let me check in the back, all the boxes from our delivery today are back there." ...few minutes later... "Is THIS what you're talking about? Oh yeah, it came today. We only got 6 copies."
Very frustrating. I love the album though. 1-2 GREAT songs, 1-2 below average songs, the rest is REALLY GOOD. In my opinion, anyways. | |

Q New Power Generation Yes, it's Prince by yet another nom-de-disc -- this time letting Paisley Park acolytes New Power Generation play some of the instruments, although make no mistake, the diminutive one is in charge of proceedings here. The career of the artist fleetingly known as Victor may have stalled -- "enslavement" by Warner Brothers notwithstanding -- but some things remain immutable in the man's ever-burgeoning canon -- namely the marrying of Sly-meets-Parliament funkadelicism with lashings of lyrical prurience. . Thus things kick-off predictably enough with the propulsive groove of Gemini Rising On The Seventh Day and the difficult-to-misinterpret Mad Sex which details a typical litany of groinular encounters over a snapping snare-drum-led, although it's ultimately a pedestrian funk jam. Until Ure In My Arms Again revisits the saccharine pop-soul of The Most Beautiful Girl In The World, while Shoo-Bed-Ooh starts promisingly, like a slippery re-working of Sly & The Family Stone's Family Affair before demurring to an insouciant chorus that The Real Thing might have thought twice about. After such an opening, Push It Up! and Freaks On This Side -- the latter featuring an angular horn arrangement worthy of Neal Hefti -- come as something of a relief, both being easier on the steamhammer rhythmic assault and multi-overdubbed Princely harmonies. . Come On, Gett Off's laid-back cousin, contains some deliciously elastic guitar chops and contrastingly cheesy string synthesizers and Prince's apparently helium-assisted vocals describing an unconventional love triangle in London. Further respite arrives on the leatherette-smooth muzak-ballad The One, although its airbrushed blandness is hardly a cause for celebration. Much better, despite the less-than-groundbreaking title, is the closing Funky Music wherein loquacious clavinets and popping percussion vie for dominance over a dance groove. Buried deep in the run-off groove, or CD equivalent thereof, is an uncredited bonus track, possibly titled Why Do I Waste My Kisses On You, that sees our narrator getting into a lather about burgundy stockings over some suitably sleazy jazz-funk stylings. So no change there, then. It's a meticulously executed exercise in treading water. It's been the case for too long now. More artistry next time, please. *** David Sheppard | |
