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.[1] 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

Template:Music ratings 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".[2]

In popular culture

The song "Radio People" was featured in the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off.[3] The album's most popular single, "Computer Love", was also featured in the 1993 movie Menace II Society.
