Singles from The Love Album: Off the Grid

The Love Album: Off the Grid is the fifth studio album by American rapper and record producer Sean "Diddy" Combs, released on September 15, 2023. Combs signed with the record label Motown prior to release its singles, although the album itself was released independently through Love Records.[1][2] It includes guest appearances from The-Dream, Herb Alpert, Nova Wav, Busta Rhymes, Dawn Richard, Kalenna, Nija, Jozzy, Jacquees, Fabolous, Swae Lee, Summer Walker, the Weeknd, French Montana, 21 Savage, Justin Bieber, Jazmine Sullivan, Ty Dolla Sign, Kehlani, Coco Jones, Kalan.FrFr, K-Ci, Jeremih, Mary J. Blige, Teyana Taylor, Burna Boy, Babyface, John Legend, and H.E.R.[3] The extended version was released five days later and contains additional guest appearances from Bryson Tiller, PartyNextDoor, and Metro Boomin. Production was handled by a variety of record producers, such as Diddy, Nova Wav, Ty Dolla Sign, and Metro Boomin themselves, alongside Stevie J, Timbaland, London on da Track, J Dilla, D'Mile, OZ, the Stereotypes, Mick Schultz, and DaHeala, among others. It is Sean Combs's first solo album since 2006's Press Play, his first album as Diddy since the 2010 collaborative album Last Train to Paris, and his first project following the 2015 mixtape MMM (Money Making Mitch), which was credited to Puff Daddy.[4]

Background

Diddy released a four-minute trailer for the album on August 22, 2023, which included the names of some of the featured artists, such as Justin Bieber, Swae Lee, Mary J. Blige, Babyface, Jozzy, Yung Miami, French Montana, DJ Khaled, Teyana Taylor, and 21 Savage, among others.[5] A press release called the album "a journey of retreating from the craziness of the world with a partner by shutting out all the distractions to just love on one another".[6] Diddy also proclaimed that the "era of love is here" and "R&B is back" alongside the announcement, and touted the album as containing the "last collab" of Canadian singer the Weeknd's career on "Another One of Me", due to the singer stating that he will no longer feature on other artists' songs with the exception of Daft Punk if they were to reunite.[3] The song is also a collaboration with Moroccan-American rapper French Montana and features Atlanta-based rapper 21 Savage and was released as the lead and only single from the album on the same date as its release.[7]

Critical reception

Script error: No such module "Music ratings". Reviewing the album for The Guardian, Rachel Aroesti wrote that Combs "hasn't lost his knack for novelty" but "you inevitably find yourself searching for his vocal presence among the lush, swirling R&B", which "all adds up to an oddly dissatisfying return".[8]

Commercial performance

In the United States, The Love Album: Off the Grid debuted at number 19 on the Billboard 200 and earned 30,000 album-equivalent units in its first week.[9][10] The album debuted at fifth on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, marking Diddy's fifth top ten on the chart.[11]

The album debuted at number 33 on the UK Album Downloads Chart on September 22, 2023.[12]
