The New Zapp IV U is the fourth studio album by the American funk band Zapp, released on October 25, 1985 by Warner Bros. Records. The album contained the song "Computer Love", which reached #8 on the US Billboard R&B chart. The album became the last release before frontman Roger Troutman would focus his efforts on his solo career; their next album, titled Zapp Vibe would be released later in 1989.
Critical reception
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".
In popular culture
The song "Radio People" was featured in the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The album's most popular single, "Computer Love", was also featured in the 1993 movie Menace II Society.
