Under the banner of the big record company Universal, Akon released the single "Bananza Belly Dance" in April 2003, and did not release his first album "Trouble" until June 29th, 2004.

Upward "successful style.

This time, Blow Away and I Want to Love You won the American championship from the dog with the help of Snoopy, which lasted for two weeks. At the beginning of the album, they presented the trilogy of King Unity.

The melodious "Running Tired" Akon confided in spiritual songs that he didn't want to continue to escape, which was the last confession of street life. In "I can't wait" with fellow villager T-Pain, Akon successfully blended lyric jazz and hip-hop remake, bringing the two styles of music, which are also from soul music, together again. In the lyric masterpiece "Never Spend Time", the piano and violin rarely seen in hip-hop are boldly used, bringing a smooth melody with an accent; In mama africa, Akon joined a lot of West African drum music, devoted himself to African culture and expressed his homesickness for his people.

Before that, we might as well learn about his wonderful life from his music.

Freedom: 2008.438+02.2

Akon-Freedom

"Freedom" is the name of Akon's latest solo album, which stems from his "repentance" for his behavior at the Fishkill open-air concert in new york. From his "repentance" for the behavior of Trinidad Zen Club; From the reverence for the blood of the martyrs who fought for independence and freedom on the national flag of the motherland; It also stems from his own dream: to wash away original sin and original sin and really get rid of the brand of "sin". I'm sorry, it was my fault two years ago, which is also a prelude to his repentance trip.

For this "freedom trip", Akon started the propaganda work very early. Before releasing the album, he performed in the city of 12, and held a competition on the internet to let fans express their opinions and explain the meaning of "freedom" to them. Akon's attention to this album is obvious.

In the album, Akon still maintains his unique voice and sweet melody as expected, but in music production, it is different from his previous two R &；; B, Hip-hop and reggae mixed albums are very different, and more European party music elements are introduced into the album. Judging from many mainstream hip-hop albums in 2008, this change will also become the general trend of the development of the whole hip-hop music circle, and the new genre of rave is slowly paying off. The synthesizer sound effect in the first single "Na Na Na" clearly verified Akon's idea of moving closer to European electronic dance music. This experimental single also reached 18 on the Billboard Top 100 list in the first week after its release. In addition to Right Now (Na Na Na), there are many similar dance music in the album, such as Keep You Much Longer, T-Pain's Holla Holla, Troublemaker and Beautiful. In these songs, Akon completely changed his previous style and faced the dance floor crowd.

Of course, Akon will not forget to satisfy the tastes of Hiphop fans. With Lil Wayne's second hit single, "I'm Such a Match", Young Jeezy is a typical street single showing off his wealth. Akon once again "dresses up" as a pimp here, announcing that he is a big boss in the music industry, and even the old man himself can't move: "God only needs a phone call to make an artist rise or fall. I don't have to worry, I have plenty of money, and I control him with money! " Compared with the previous two albums full of crime stories and street legendary songs, Freedom is more like a "free journey" for a sinner to find a quiet life, with many warm and sincere feelings. Sunny Days tells the perfect feeling when the clouds are light and the wind is light, while With You, Akon continues the best-selling single "It doesn't matter" in 2007.

Next, he made a true confession to his lover and vowed that nothing could separate them. Other songs worth listening to are "Over the Edge", which tells the story of "Stand up bravely when you fall down", and "Birthmark", a love song that makes a fuss about a woman's birthmark.

Aside from those temporary troubles, whether it is the troubles encountered by his family in the process of immigrating to the United States or the troubles of his own growth, Akon relies on freedom to continue to reap the fruits of his previous success. He hopes that all these unfortunate stories will end in this album. Between continuing to be depressed and forgetting everything and fully enjoying life, Akon chose the latter. After being imprisoned and pleading guilty, Akon decided to bid farewell to his gray past completely through this album.

Through Freedom, Akon began to reach the second peak of his career, and the direction he chose also ensured that this "trip" would not be another parabola.

KONKRETE release date: 20 1 1.06.30 Another year passed, Akon came back with his brand-new concept album Konkrete.

Just like his singing skills, I still remember that when he cooperated with Michael Jackson three years ago, Michael Jackson praised his great voice. He often says that he has long been used to me writing a new song once a month. This is not just singing with music, but singing with his soul. Many people say that Akon is very popular in America because he has finished singing this song (Na Na Na) now.

In this album, there is a song called Time or Money. The melody and rhythm of this song are hard to make people confident, and good singers are honed by time. There is also "Give it to Em", which sings the mystery of a song. Keep up sang his confidence in his music, just like his own optimism. Long gone is a similar oratorio song.

This album just proves that it is a brand-new Akon. He changes year after year. It is not difficult for him to increase the difficulty of singing. Just calling the listener to enjoy it is an encouragement to him!

As for the word "freshness", the listener will find it different after listening. Bring you different musical elements, different musical melodies and different musical vocals. As long as it is a "Akon" song, it will always change.

In 2008, AKON collaborated with Michael Jackson, the king of world-class pop music, on a thriller album Wanna Be Starting Something 2008, which shocked the fans of these two stars.

Akon and Wilber Pan.

An international phone call promoted this cooperation. In an hour-long telephone conversation, the two decided on the songs and details of the cooperation, and the excellent tacit understanding made them feel particularly destined. After that, Weber and Akon finally met in a recording studio in Japan and recorded a record. With the full interpretation of two men's tastes, this affectionate "With You" is more profound. Simple lyrics profoundly convey the simple belief and the power of love that you just want to be with the person you love anyway!
