Prince and The New Power Generation’s Diamonds & Pearls was released as an album in the US by Paisley Park Records and Warner Bros. Records (catalog number 9 25379-2) on October 1, 1991, with a UK release in November 1991.

, the album generated several hit singles, including "Gett Off," "Cream," "Money Don't Matter 2 Night," "Insatiable," and the title track. Dancers Lori Werner (performing under the stage name Lori Elle) and Robia LaMorte, known as "Diamond" and "Pearl," appeared on the album's holographic cover (later re-issues of the album are non-holographic). Diamond and Pearl also featured in the music videos for "Cream," "Strollin'," "Gett Off," and the title track, and they participated in Prince's Diamonds and Pearls Tour.

The album showcases a blend of musical styles, from the funk of "Daddy Pop," "Jughead," and the first single "Gett Off," to some of the more mainstream pop/rock tracks Prince had recorded in a while, such as "Cream," "Money Don't Matter 2 Night," and the title song. "Willing and Able" was featured in a video montage during the closing credits of CBS's coverage of Super Bowl XXVI.
