Akon / Konvicted – CD

Description

Author: AKON

Format: Explicit Lyrics

Release Date: 14-11-2006

Details: Amazon.ca If R&B has been drifting lately, Konvicted proves Akon’s ready to take the wheel: His reedy voice encapsulates Jersey, Jamaica, and continents beyond (Africa, most notably); his wait-a-beat delivery enhances his high-flying hooks; and his attitude mulches thuggery and womanizing into something worth spreading around. If that’s not indication enough he’s on a roll, consider the accolades Konvicted is racking up–a Grammy nod for « Smack That » (featuring Eminem), a No. 1 single with « I Wanna Love You » (featuring Snoop Dogg), sales in the millions. To count Akon a musical groundbreaker, though, you have to be ready to embrace a new genre that might take Brian McKnight and Usher fans a little getting used to: hardcore R&B. Both « I Wanna Love You » and « Smack That » don’t shy away from raunch, and tracks like « Tired of Runnin' » and « Shake Down » bring on an MC edge that belongs more to the street than to the bedroom. Still, count on Akon to convince holdouts he’s worth hearing; both his message and his manner bear the marks of the unstoppable. –Tammy La Gorce Product Description Akon
