Music Legend

Akon - Freedom
Akon spun off two number one pop hits and one number two from Konvicted, so he couldn't be blamed for working the same tricks, yet Freedom is a major change of pace -- the kind of drastic switch-up that normally happens after reaching a creative and commercial dead-end. Hip-hop and R&B are all but scrapped entirely. The set instead is rooted in the gleaming synthesizers and spring-loaded dance beats of Euro-pop.
