Diddy Dirty Money – Coming Home

• 30th Nov 2010

Diddy-Dirty Money’s ‘Last Train To Paris’ album has officially announced its time of arrival in to the UK as 24th January 2011.

The debut album from the new super-group of multiplatinum-selling, three-time Grammy-winning Sean “Diddy” Combs, singer-songwriter Dawn Richard and songwriter Kalenna Harper will be released by Bad Boy/Polydor Records in January 2011, following its December 14th U.S release.

The album’s latest single ‘Coming Home’, will be released on 17th January, followed by the hotly anticipated Usher collaboration track ‘Looking For Love’. In addition, ‘Loving You No More’ featuring Drake has hit the U.S Top 25 at urban radio.

The much praised ‘Hello Good Morning’ Remix released earlier this year featuring underground grime king Skepta, was the first grime track to ever be commissioned by an American artist, with further UK influences apparent on the record.

An electro hip-hop soul funk experience blending elements of UK grime, Mediterranean techno and the 808s of American hip-hop, ‘Last Train To Paris’ represents a sound Combs calls “train music,” new dance music for the new decade. Along with T.I., the album features an array of mega music stars including Lil Wayne, Justin Timberlake, Usher, Drake, Chris Brown, Grace Jones, Trey Songz and Bilal. Among the illustrious roster of producers are Danja, Polow Da Don, Sean Garrett, Tricky Stewart, The Dream, Swizz Beats, Rodney Jerkins, D’Mile and Mario Winans.

Dawn was originally part of platinum selling girl group Danity Kane, which Diddy formed via his 2004-2005 MTV series ‘Making The Band 3’. Danity Kane then became the first female ensemble in history to debut at #1 with their first two albums.

In 2008, Diddy began conceptualising Dirty Money an idea of putting together a cutting edge group consisting of himself and two female members.

Diddy and Dawn teamed up with Kalenna (whose credits include work with music luminaries such as Jill Scott, Jennifer Lopez, Timbaland and producer Rodney Jerkins) to write songs for ‘Last Train To Paris’. Impressed with her lyrical prowess and her unique vocal references, Kalenna was asked to become the third member of Diddy-Dirty Money.

For Diddy, ‘Last Train To Paris’ follows his 2006 solo album ‘Press Play’, which debuted at #1 and went gold. His 1997 debut ‘No Way Out’ was seven times platinum, with 1999’s ‘Forever’ and 2001’s ‘The Saga Continues…’ each platinum.
