]]>This week brought several amazing new albums our way, and Mitski’s The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We is definitely the most exciting new release. This LP features a total of 11 songs – each one deserving of a spot on our list – but “My Love Mine All Mine” is our personal favorite.
Diddy also surprised us with his first album in years, The Love Album: Off the Grid, which features countless A-list collaborations. “Other One Of Me” was released as its latest single and it saw the iconic rapper join forces with The Weeknd, 21 Savage, and French Montana.
The rest of our list features an interesting mix of genres, ranging from hip-hop and EDM to pop and alternative rock. Drake’s collaboration with SZA, “Slime You Out”, is one of the week’s buzziest new releases, but our list also includes new music from Doja Cat, Tate McRae, Sia, Sufjan Stevens, and All Time Low.

Diddy previously dropped hints about his new album at last year’s Billboard Music Awards and said he’ll use it to to bring the “real R&B” back.
“It’s really an evolution of my sound. It definitely has those elements of all of my hit records, from Jodeci, from Mary J. Blige. You know, all of the greats… All of the great R&B stuff that you love. The return is real and I’m better. I’m better as a producer. I’m here to touch souls,” he explained.

]]>The post Diddy Reveals He Pays Sting $5,000 a Day for Sampling “Every Breath You Take” appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Back in 2018, Sting did an interview on the radio show The Breakfast Club and was at one point asked by host Charlamagne Tha God whether the rumor about Diddy paying him $2,000 a day for sampling “Every Breath You Take” is true.
“Yep, for the rest of his life,” responded Sting.
Sting went on to clarify that Diddy used the sample without permission at first but that the two “are very good friends now.”
The video of Sting’s appearance on The Breakfast Club recently started trending on social media and apparently caught Diddy’s attention. The Bad Boy Records founder retweeted the video and used the opportunity to set the record straight.
“Nope. 5K a day. Love to my brother,” wrote Diddy.
“Every Breath You Take” is arguably The Police’s best-known track and their biggest hit. The song, taken from 1983’s Synchronicity album, topped the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed there for eight weeks while willing two Grammy awards.
Diddy recorded “I’ll Be Missing You” in honor of late rapper The Notorious B.I.G, a couple of months after his death. It spent eleven weeks atop the US Billboard Hot 100 while winning Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. The track features singer Faith Evans and R&B group 112.

]]>The most recent edition of Rolling Stone’s Musicians On Musicians saw DJ Khaled and Combs interview each other and discuss their careers and views on the music industry. At one point, Diddy was asked what does he “look for” when he is signing a new artist.
“To be honest, I’ve been in semi-retirement,” shared Diddy. “If you don’t see my name on all the Top 10 records, that means I’m not making music.”
According to Diddy, he is wondering whether there is a role for him in music at the moment. “I’m contemplating, Is there a role for me in music now?” I just know that for me, I would only be able to sign legends. To be honest, my decisions will be made through God. I’m at another frequency and level of music.”
Sean Combs’ most recent solo studio effort was 2006’s Press Play. After that, he worked on several collaboration albums while also releasing a handful of singles.
Back in 2015, Combs announced that he is working on his new studio album, titled No Way Out 2, which was supposed to serve as a sequel to his debut record from 1997. He also said that this would be his last album before retiring from music.
In 2015, Diddy presented “Finna Get Loose,” featuring Pharrell Williams, which was the first single from the album. There were no new details about the release since then, and the status of the record remains unclear.
