Singersroom: You mentioned that your beginning to create a brand, how would you sum up your sense of fashion?

Donnie: It�s a pretty crazy because I have developed so much over the past year from rocking a hoody and sweat pants. Now I am more high fashion not only am I taking my style from New York but I am traveling internationally. I am even putting this into my music as far as trying to be innovative, staying fresh and staying a step ahead of what�s out there now. For example, the song �Stereo� will represent that.

... he's that inspirational, tough drill-sergeant, to say the least. But it's good. I'm glad to have him as a boss. He doesn't let us get comfortable in our positions. He demands perfection. He sits back at first and let you do what you do, and when it gets to a certain point, he'll step in. Sometimes he'll change the whole song, and scrap songs.

The most immediate track is the first single, "Take You There," featuring Combs, which gave Klang another out-of-body experience. "I had just finished the single after 20-something hours straight in the studio - I was exhausted - and I was in the car about halfway home to Long Island and Diddy calls and was like, 'Come back to the city, I want to test it out in clubs,'" Klang says. "So it's like 3 a.m. and I go back to the city and we go to this one spot and Jay-Z and Beyonc� are in there, which was crazy. Diddy's playing the song on loop and then we went to the next spot. We were in the limo and he says, 'I want the video to be about this night and what happens after the clubs.'"

Of course, what Combs wants, Combs almost always gets. The video for "Take You There" is a night on the town with Klang and Combs - and too many young ladies to count. "When we did that video in March in Hollywood, it was just crazy," Klang says. "I remember being in elementary school watching all the Bad Boy videos. Now, not only am I in one, not only am I signed to Bad Boy, but Diddy is in my video. That's crazy."
