Diddy sets release date for new album

Diddy sat down with MTV via phone to bless us with some details on his upcoming project entitled Last Train To Paris. Like Press Play, this album has a theme that is just diddified. Here's what Diddy had to say about the album,

"It's a profound love story, man. It's about this tumultuous love roller-coaster relationship that occurs. It's everything from love, pain, sex, God, celebration. It's a lot of things rolled into one. It's a conceptual album".

"One of the things I wanna give you that's not out there yet is that it's not me as a solo artist," Diddy added. "It's a group I put together; myself and two girls. Two young ladies, you may know them or you may not. It's almost like some back-in-the-day Loose Ends-type sh--. We're going to be telling the story of Last Train to Paris."

The album's theme,

"I'm infatuated with her, really blown away," Diddy said. "We wind up spending the night together. I never get her name. When I wake up, she's gone. A couple of months go by, and I bump into her again on tour overseas. We get together, and she's attached to my hip. For three months! She's on my hip for three months. I tell her to come to New York, Miami, all the places where I get it poppin', where I really do sh--. You know how men pop sh--, like men do sometimes when they're trying to make a woman fall in love".

and when the honeymoon is over...

"She just breaks out on a n---a," Combs revealed. "But an absence makes the heart grow fonder. She's singing to me; I'm performing to her. We're in two different parts of the world. She's remembering all the good times, and I'm thinking about if I had another chance, I wouldn't f--- it up. So, I go on tour and I'm in London. I get a tip that she's in Paris, and it's 9:45 p.m. or something. It's one of the foggiest days in London, so I can't take my plane. I can't drive, the road is shut down. The only way I can get there is the last train to Paris, and it leaves in 20 minutes and I'm 15 minutes away. It's that whole intensity of what happens on the train ride — and will she be there when I get there — is something else you'll hear."

To get the full picture, Diddy will also include a short film with the CD.

"The movie is more of a visual presentation. It's not like I'm playing Prince and sh--," he added, dismissing the notion that "Last Train" will be his "Purple Rain." "You know how, when you on your computer and you're listening to an album, you have your screen saver on — instead of screen save, you'll be able to see the album in motion. And the presentation of the album will be different from the videos. I'm out here in L.A. right now, meeting with directors. I'm looking for somebody who can do it within the budget and do it guerrilla style."

As we know, Diddy says that the album will consist of auto-tunes and more auto-tunes so be prepared to take a trip down memory lane. Plus, remember he is paying T-Pain royalties to use auto-tunes.

Speaking of T-Pain, he along with The-Dream, Tricky Stewart, Rodney Jerkins, the Hitmen, Mario Winans and the Neptunes will all contribute to Diddy's album.

Diddy also has plans to bring another show to MTV dedicated to documenting him on the prawl for members to make up his very own band, it will be called "Making My Band".

The album Last Train To Paris will be due in stores September 22, 2009.
