Right Now Akon |
| The guy whose career has been built upon memories of prison redemption, naming his first albums "Trouble" and "Konvicted," returns on a "more law-abiding" and positive note, choosing "Freedom" as his third effort's title. In only a few years Akon has grown to reach World Music Award status as the best selling male in the planet, and even when the accuracy of those honours may be debatable, one cannot stop wondering the reason why he is so popular: maybe his irritatingly high-pitched vocals, sounding like they've been treated with a vocoder, without real need for one; or maybe is the vague echoes of his childhood in Senegal mixed with an unremarkable R&B and hip-hop style; or rather his ability to deliver devilish gimmicks and painfully repetitive choruses? Whatever it is, in "Right Now" he fully delivers it once more: simple, effective and guaranteed to sell by the buckets. | |
