On September 22 the recording star, clothing mogul, and sometimes actor, will release the album, Last Train To Paris. It's a collection of tracks recorded by him but produced by diverse talent including The-Dream, Tricky Stewart, the Neptunes, Marion Winans, T-Pain, Rodney Jerkins and the Souldiggaz.
"I'm ushering in a new movement called 'train music,'" Combs claims. "I am going to show the world a new refreshing side of me...deeper than any other stuff I have ever made. It's a profound love story. I've been a businessman for the past two years. It's time for me to focus on being an artist again."
The record will reportedly fuse electronica, hip-hop, soul and funk.
Diddy's last record, Press Play, has sold 701,000 copies in the United States since its release in 2007.
