Diddy has announced his first solo album in over 15 years. The American music mogul has revealed that The Love Album: Off the Grid will arrive September 15 via his own Love Records.

After officially ringing in the Love era in 2021, the saga continues with Diddy's first LP since 2006's Press Play, unless you're counting 2010's Last Train to Paris, collectively billed as Diddy – Dirty Money.

The momentous news has come with a trailer to match, running just shy of four minutes and revealing both a glimpse of the artist's mindset and the effort's potential musical guests.

"Why am I doing this? Especially with the success that I've had, especially where my life, how stressful and treacherous this music business is," Diddy ponders. "My heart has been broken. I still have that question of, like, 'Will I ever love again?'" It's not far removed from what he was working through on Blood Orange's 2018 album Negro Swan.

Sharing the trailer on Instagram, Diddy tagged a slew of collaborators, including Justin Bieber, Mary J. Blige, Teyana Taylor, French Montana, DJ Khaled, 21 Savage, Yung Miami of City Girls and Rae Sremmurd's Swae Lee.

A Canadian angle is established with the appearance of the Weeknd — who must have gotten involved before declaring he was done with features.

Let love reign and take in the trailer for The Love Album: Off the Grid below.
