The group, including Bobby Brown, reunited in 1996-1997 for the album Home Again, but during the ill-fated follow-up tour both Brown and Bivins quit the group, and the tour had to be canceled. Gill and Tresvant also recorded successful solo albums. The group went on hiatus in 1990, while its various members worked on side projects, such as the group Bell Biv DeVoe. The group continued for a time with four members, but eventually recruited singer Johnny Gill to record their 1988 album Heart Break. The song peaked at #21 and inspired the group to record Under the Blue Moon, an album of doo-wop covers. During this era of the group's evolution, the group appeared in the episode of Knight Rider titled "Knight Song", performing "Count Me Out." As 1986 wound to a close, they recorded a cover of The Penguins 1954 hit "Earth Angel" for the soundtrack to The Karate Kid, Part II.

The management company was called AMI and AMI proceeds to break the group both in the urban and pop world. The band, in need of management, signed with Steven Machat and his two management partners Rick Smith and Bill Dern. The Machat's won the legal game and then secured the group a huge recording deal with MCA after holding a bidding war among all the major recording labels. Due to financial reasons, New Edition parted company with Starr in 1984 (Starr responded by promptly creating the group New Kids on the Block essentially formatted after New Edition, but with white teenagers.) The group, meanwhile, hired the law-firm of Steven and Martin Machat and sued Streetwise for relief from a contract that was unenforceable as well as materially breached by Streetwise. Tour budget and expenses were given as the explanation as to why they were not paid more. Returning from their first major concert tour, the boys were dropped back off to their homes in the projects and were given a check in the amount of $1.87 a piece for their efforts. Recorded in late 1982 and released in 1983 on Starrs Streetwise Records, the album featured the hits: "Is This The End," "Popcorn Love," "Jealous Girl" and the title track, which went to number one on both the American R&B singles chart and the UK singles chart.

The first prize was $500.00 and a recording contract. The group would perform all around Massachusetts and would eventually land a spot at a talent show which was run by Maurice Starr. Early hits included songs like 1983's "Candy Girl" and 1984's "Cool It Now".
