Boarding the Last Train To Paris.

Do you guys remember when Diddy made the show "Making His Band" where he picked musicians to go with him on his "Last Train to Paris" tour.Well, I don't think he got to the tour yet, but his album "Last Train to Paris" has just released and is sending the fashion world crazy. The music is not only snazzy and head bopping, but he also features guest appearances by Anna Wintour, Andre Leon Talley, Marc Jacobs, Isaac Mizrahi, and my favorite Tommy Hilfiger. The album is inspired by his love of fashion and New York and Paris.


Andre Leon Talley explained some details in depth on his blog.

"During Fashion Week last year, he sent out the call via e-mail and voice mail to high-fashion friends to come to his studio to participate in the record. I was somewhere doing what I usually do—previewing a collection or sitting around on the fourth floor of Manolo Blahnik’s midtown shoe emporium—when I received the invitation. Rushing to his studio, I thought about what I would say on the album, which inspired his February 2010 Vogue fashion shoot with Natalia Vodianova, photographed by Annie Leibovitz and styled by Grace Coddington, in which he appeared with the swagger and elegance of Cary Grant in a gorgeous shawl-collared camel double-breasted coat by Tom Ford. It wasn’t his first shoot with the magazine. In another Annie/Grace collaboration, for the October 1999 issue, he looked as dramatic as a thirties screen idol, escorting Kate Moss, dressed in couture, around Paris."

I've never been a Diddy fan (as a rapper), but this album actually sent me some chills. The music gives a bit of jazz, R&B, and soul all in one. Dirty Money's beautiful voices started to pour in and I was hooked. I have the album for you guys, click here to listen and tell me what you guys think. So far, I'm lovin "I Hate That You Love Me".  What's YOUR favorite song?
