Last Train to Paris is a collaborative

studio album by American rapper and record producer Diddy and American R&B duo Dirty Money, billed collectively as "Diddy – Dirty Money". It was released on December 14, 2010, by Bad Boy Records and Interscope Records. It is the only album by Dirty Money before their 2012 disbandment, although the group reunited once more to co-perform on a song from Diddy's fifth album, The Love Album: Off the Grid in 2023. Story-wise, the album follows Diddy's alter-ego as he travels from London to Paris to regain his lost love; subject matter and lyrics are predominantly based around dramatized descriptions of romance, heartache, vulnerability, regret, and emotional conflict.[4] Last Train to Paris is predominantly contemporary R&B, but incorporates elements of Eurodance, Italo disco and tech house
.

Guest vocalists on the album include Grace Jones, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Skylar Grey, Drake, Justin Timberlake, Nicki Minaj, T.I., Wiz Khalifa, Swizz Beatz, Trey Songz, Rick Ross, Usher, Sevyn Streeter, James Fauntleroy, Bilal and The Notorious B.I.G. The album also features vocal segues from designers and editors of the fashion world, including Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour and Tommy Hilfiger. The executive producers on the album are Rodney Jerkins, Diddy, Mario Winans and Harve Pierre.

The album marks Diddy's first and only project with Interscope Records after he and his Bad Boy label parted ways with

Coming Home" peaked at number 11 on the chart and foresaw the album's release the following month—in December. The album spawned two further singles released the next year, both of which failed to chart. During its opening week, Last Train to Paris outperformed expectations, debuting eight places higher than predicted—at number seven—on the US Billboard 200
. It sold 101,000 copies, compared to the 60,000-70,000 copies that Billboard had predicted it would sell.

Conception

Diddy described Last Train to Paris as an "electro-hip-hop-soul funk" album

Deep Dish, DJ Hell and being in Ibiza and DC10."[7] The arc follows Diddy's character as he tours from London to Paris and finds the woman of his dreams - only to lose her, find her, lose her again and find her a final time.[8] The records were conceptualised from Diddy's comments to his producers. He told Alex da Kid (who produced "Coming Home") "I want a beat that makes me feel like a white man in a basement in Atlanta." Diddy said that "most of the producers he worked with, he's been friends with for a long time. The records came together by hanging out with them, taking them to parties and showing them movies".[9]

In an interview with MTV News, Diddy said "One of the things [Dirty Money] trying to represent is emotion... Not being afraid to show emotion on record. A lot of records out right now — no disrespect to them, but they're all surface. It's about what people have or a dance. All our records are gonna be about love, feelings and emotion. Last Train to Paris is a love story and the most vulnerable album I've ever been involved in. It's raw emotion — you get a feeling, a vibe."[10] Diddy also released an application for the iPhone that integrates his social networking site and Twitter feed.[11] A short film will also accompany the album.[8] Rap producer Bangladesh, also confirmed that he would be producing for the album.[12] According to New York magazine, the album was "assembled from 60 or so songs. The genesis of Last Train to Paris is full of odd stories involving our hero, ensconced in a darkened studio, barking batty ideas to his production team."[9]

Dirty Money

Last Train to Paris is officially credited to Diddy – Dirty Money. Dirty Money was formed when Diddy asked former

background singers or part of Diddy’s Fashion Week posse."[2] Matt Sayles disagreed, stating that on the record, "Diddy takes a backseat" which allowed "Kaleena and Dawn to do a lot of the heavy lifting (and breathing) on a wide range of songs."[19] Dirty Money was inspired by the 1980s bands Soul II Soul and Loose Ends though Diddy pointed out that he "wanted to flip things" by having two girls and one guy in the band. "Two bad divas, one for the left and one for the right side of me".[15] He told Amos Barshad from New York that "[The girls in Dirty Money] diamonds in the rough. These girls got a certain flavor and swagger, which is rare in this marketplace."[20]

Guest vocals

Guests included on the album were initially confirmed as

Bilal and Wiz Khalifa but the final track list also included Skylar Grey.[22][23] Richard told MTV News that the album had been in the making before she and Harper joined Diddy to form Dirty Money. She said "I know when Kalenna and I speak, we sometimes feel giddy because people like pioneers of the game said, 'You know what? We want to be on your album,'". Richard also defended the number of guests on the album stating that it was a "labor of love" which is why the group felt like the album needed a "stunning introduction" to the world.[6] Simon Vozick-Levinson of Entertainment Weekly said the role of the guests on the album "[mainly] assorted suave fellows... help fill out [Diddy]'s side of the conversation."[1] Vogue was first to reveal that editors and fashion designers have recorded vocal segues for the album. Among those set to feature on the album are Isaac Mizrahi, André Leon Talley, Zac Posen, Marc Jacobs, Anna Wintour (editor in chief at Vogue) and Tommy Hilfiger.[6] Talley said of his involved in the album, "[Diddy]'s like great creative thinkers in music who love fashion; swooner Marvin Gaye in his duets with Tammi Terrell comes to mind — what sense of elegance, what Motown glamour!"[24]

Promotion

On November 21, 2010, Diddy-Dirty Money appeared at the American Music Awards (2010) where they performed "Coming Home".[25] On December 5, 2010, Diddy released The Prelude - Last Train to Paris, a free

My Life".[32] Additionally, the group released another mixtape in time for Valentine's Day 2011. LoveLove Vs. HateLove features at least four songs from the Last Train to Paris recording sessions plus other songs.[33]

Coming Home tour

Rap-Up initially reported that Diddy-Dirty Money would be touring in support of the album. The Last Train to Paris world tour kicked off in March 2011.[34] However, when the tour dates were revealed, the tour was actually renamed to The Coming Home Tour. The show kicked off on April 13, 2011, in Minneapolis, running for twenty-one dates before ending in St. Louis on May 15, 2011.[35] Lloyd and Tyga served as the tour's opening acts.[36]

Singles

"Angels", featuring

Coming Home" was announced as the lead single and overall fourth single, released on November 21, 2010. It features additional vocals from Kid's protégé Skylar Grey
. It was the album's most successful single, peaking at number eleven on the Billboard Hot 100.

According to an official press release from

Billboard R&B chart.[41] The album's sixth single is "Ass on the Floor", featuring Swizz Beatz, released to the United Kingdom.[3] It debuted on the Bubbling Under Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs at number five,[42] before making its full Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart debut at number eighty-eight the following week.[43]

Other songs

Promo single "Love Come Down" received a music video, premiering on November 12, 2009. The vintage club TV style video sees "Diddy and the group set the tone with an all-black motif, dressing in black and performing on a black stage — except for the occasional flash of Diddy's gold teeth. Toward the end, the trio change to all-white outfits before going back to black."[44] A separate music video was filmed for a remix for "Angels", featuring Rick Ross instead of The Notorious B.I.G., premiered on March 2, 2010, with Parris serving as the director. The video also features cameos by Busta Rhymes and DJ Khaled.[45] Hype Williams also directed the music videos for the album's third single "Hello Good Morning", featuring T.I., which premiered in May 2010. Two alternate videos were filmed for the song's remixes; one featuring the remix that includes Rick Ross, and another for the remix that retains Rick Ross, excludes T.I. and includes Nicki Minaj.[46][47]

Additionally, on November 29, 2010 "Ass on the Floor", featuring Swizz Beatz (which was released as the album's sixth single months later) was released as a free download through Beatz' Monster Mondays initiative

Chris Brown.[56] Tilley has also directed the video for an amended version "Your Love" which features Trey Songz and Rick Ross, which was released on March 30, 2011.[57]

Commercial performance

In its opening week, the Last Train to Paris debuted on the US Billboard 200 at number 7, with 101,000 copies sold. The final figure sold was, in Billboard's own words, "rather larger than initial forecasts",[58] which put the album at around number 15, with 60,000 - 70,000 copies.[59] Despite beating the expectations, the Last Train to Paris underperformed against Diddy's previous album, Press Play (2006), which debuted at number one, with 170,000 copies sold.[58] Thus far, it is Diddy's lowest charting album on this chart[60] as well as Dawn Richard's lowest charting Billboard 200 album, the others being with the group Danity Kane.[61] The album also debuted on the US Top Digital Albums at number 7[62] and the US R&B/Hip-Hop Albums at number 3.[63] It is also both Diddy's and Richard's lowest charting R&B/Hip-Hop album, thus far.[60][61] Last Train to Paris is Kalenna Harper's first appearance on any Billboard album chart.[64] As of May 8, 2011, the album has sold around 270,000 copies in the United States.[65]

Upon its release, Last Train to Paris received positive reviews from most music critics.

those ever mushy Peas."[17] Andy Gill of The Independent noted Dirty Money's "emphasis on emotion over purely dance imperatives" and dubbed the album "easily the best work Diddy's been involved with in his entire career."[67] Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian gave it three out of five stars and stated, "The album is a mess, but a hook-heavy, likable one."[66]

David Jeffries from

Drake or Kanye. Paris looks back to dance music as soulful catharsis and emotionalism, not the cold thump that’s taken over as of late."[9] Nitsuh Abebe from New York magazine said "Last Train to Paris is one of the first records that's really made me feel like [Diddy] sounds clever. [However he] makes what seems to me to be an aesthetic error, which is that if you want to put sleek, rainy-sounding synths everywhere ... [But] this album hits its mood right, though — gray skies, Eurorail, and drama — it's excellent stuff. The hectic format fades away, and the music actually becomes the hypnotic cruise it aspires to be."[73]

In 2023, Diddy said the reception of the album put him in a funk, and music wasn’t resonating with him like it used to: "When Last Train to Paris came out, it kind of broke my heart because people didn’t understand it right away. It was a bit before its time, and I know I was in my ego." Ultimately he said: "As time went on, people were able to connect with the album, and it’s become a cult classic. But for a couple of years after that, I didn’t know what to do. I wasn’t hearing the sounds."[74]
