He says he's ready to enjoy the music again, and the label Love Records, "Will be dedicated to R&B music and will release singles and collaborative projects from a collective of a world-class artists, producers and songwriters" said the release.

"For the label I'm focused on creating timeless R&B music with the next generation of artists and producers. Motown is the perfect partner for my album and i'm excited to add to its legacy," Combs said.
