Diamonds and Pearls was Prince's thirteenth album, which was released in 1991 (See 1991 in music). It was the first Prince album to be officially co-credited with the New Power Generation, and spawned many hit singles including the title track, "Gett Off", "Cream", "Money Don't Matter 2 Night" and "Insatiable". Dancers Lori Werner and Robia LaMorte, known as "Diamond" and "Pearl", are featured on the holographic cover. (Repressings of the album are non-holographic.) Diamond & Pearl appeared in the music videos for "Cream", "Strollin'", "Gett Off", and the album's title track, and also participated in Prince's Diamonds and Pearls tour.

Diamonds and Pearls featured a hybrid of music styles, from the funk of "Daddy Pop", "Jughead", and first single "Gett Off" to some of the more mainstream pop/rock Prince had recorded in some time, such as "Cream", "Money Don't Matter 2 Night", and the title song.
