Guitarist Kat Dyson left after the Jam of the Year Tour and new backing vocalist Marva King was added to the band.

The tour was split into 2 legs: one American and one European. Later in the year, the tour morphed into the "New Power Soul Festival Tour", with opening acts Larry Graham and Chaka Khan. Once again there was a US and European leg.
