The New Zapp IV U

The album contained the song "Computer Love", which reached #8 on the US Billboard R&B chart.

Jason Birchmeier of AllMusic gave the album a lightly positive review: "The previous three Zapp albums were all stellar, and it would have been a shame for him to abandon a winning formula.

In the end, the new approach to songwriting here proves just enough change to make this a fresh-sounding album".
