Arctic Monkeys Party With P Diddy (Who Is A Huge Fan), Preview New Album Online

Posted: 14 Apr 2009 12:36 PM PDT

Arctic Monkeys have just returned from recording their new album in America with producer James Ford. While there, they got up to some rather exciting things. Which prompted drummer Matt Helders to upload a video diary.

Arctic Monkeys, surely one of Britain’s greatest exports in recent times. Quintessentially British, specifically North of England-ish, they have managed to gain fans from all around the world. And rightly so.

P Diddy, formerly Puff Daddy, may belong to a different genre but he is, at heart, a genuine lover of music. Good music at least. Which is why he loves Arctic Monkeys. Don’t take my word for it, watch the video below.

It’s amazing to see Helders being shown around P Diddy’s extensive Miami mansion by… none other than P Diddy himself. Not only does the hip hop artist and producer know who Helders is, he also seems to love Arctic Monkeys.

After the whole P Diddy episode comes to an end, with Ford having passed out due to what must have been one hell of am all-nighter, there is a tiny (30 seconds) segment where he see Helders and lead singer Alex Turner harmonizing.

Could this be a very short but sweet taster of some new material? If so then it sounds very chilled out and mellow, which is OK so long as there are also some hard rocking indie tunes on there as we’ve come to expect from the band.

Still, P Diddy’s a fan so what do they care?
