A Funk-Jazz NPG Resurrection

Released as a CD album in Europe on April 29, 2016, on NPG Records (catalogue: 0643485620488), Prince’s HITnRUN Phase Two — his 39th and final lifetime studio album — was a funk/soul/jazz masterpiece with The New Power Generation. Featuring Eryn Allen Kane, Ledisi, and horns by NPG Hornz, this 12-track set — produced/arranged/composed/performed by Prince & The NPG — was initially Tidal exclusive (December 12, 2015) before physical release.
