Diamonds and Pearls

Diamonds and Pearls is the 13th studio album released by the late legendary artist Prince, along with his talented backing band, known as the New Power Generation, or N.P.G for short. Released on October 1st, 1991, it produced the #1 singles Cream and Diamonds and Pearls.

Diamonds and Pearls is considered by many to be the last “great” album by Prince. Shortly after it’s release, Prince would become involved in his legendary battle with his record label over creative freedom/release from his contract with the company; a fight that would cause Prince to fall from grace in terms of being a mainstream icon. Though Prince would continue to produce albums in the decades that followed, “Diamonds and Pearls” would be the last album to enjoy true widespread mainstream success.
