New World Order is R&B/soul singer-songwriter Curtis Mayfield’s final studio album.

[2][3] New World Order was the only Curtis Mayfield album written, recorded and released after a life-changing accident in August 1990 left him paralyzed from the neck down.

Mayfield continued to compose and sing, and his vocals were recorded, usually line-by-line, while he was lying on his back.

[4] Rolling Stone called the LP "a triumphant return".

[11] Both the album's title track and the song "Back to Living Again" were also Grammy nominated for "Best Male R&B Vocal Performance".
