Cherry, Cherry is the tenth track (fifth song) on the New Power Generation’s second 'solo' album Exodus. While specific recording dates are not known, basic tracking took place in December 1994 - January 1995 at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota (during the same set of sessions as The Good Life, Big Fun and Return Of The Bump Squad). This song tells the story of a girl that Prince and Sonny T. actually knew when they were young, except that her name was neither “Cherry” nor “Rozanda”. The name “Rozanda” was chosen in reference to Rozonda Thomas, known as “Chilli” from the girl group TLC, who was more or less hanging out with Prince and his entourage when this song was recorded.
