The LTTP App offers fans the chance to be part of the "LAST TRAIN TO PARIS" interactive experience by uploading their favorite photos to Diddy's train mosaic.

"LAST TRAIN TO PARIS" is unquestionably Diddy's most adventurous and groundbreaking work to date. The album sees the iconic superstar crafting an ingenious sonic mixture of electro-hip hop soul funk, ushering in what he describes as "a new movement called 'train music.'"
"'LAST TRAIN TO PARIS' is deeper than any of the other stuff I have ever made," Combs explains. "It's a profound love story. It's me with my shades off. It's the truth."
The new album - which follows Diddy's critically acclaimed 2006 release, "PRESS PLAY" - features collaborations with a star-studded array of hit-making producers, including The-Dream, Tricky, The Neptunes, Mario Winans, T-Pain, and Rodney Jerkins.
"I've been a businessman for the past two years," Combs says. "It's time for me to focus on being an artist again. I am going to show the world a new refreshing side of me. Get on or get off!"
