“Diamonds and Pearls” is the title track to Prince and The New Power Generation’s 1991 hit album. The song is an upbeat ballad, given a rock edge with guitar and heavy drumming. The song also features the powerful vocals of NPG member Rosie Gaines. The ballad is an expression of love and not lust, as is the theme on some of the other singles from the album. The song was a Top 10 hit, reaching #3 in the U.S. and the top spot on the R&B charts.
