Play.com Review

Urban sensation, Akon, returns with his third studio album, Freedom. Laden with the hook-filled R&B rap that pervaded his massively successful 2006 release, Konvicted, Akon combines new elements of melodic pop and captivating dance beats to produce an exciting album that dazzles with electro sounds and catchy rhymes.

Freedom marks a slight change in sound for the R&B bad-boy. Since the release of his debut album, Trouble, Akon has graced the top end of the UK charts with memorable R&B singles such as 'Locked Up'. This album, however, sees Akon divulge into different genre styles. Although Akon's established formula is present on the grinding 'Keep You Much Longer', the synth loaded 'Holla Holla', featuring T-Pain, is a processed bleeps filled delight that epitomises the ever-popular Euro-club sound. As tracks such as the techno-driven 'We Don't Care' pound with a thumping bassline and organ-infused riffs, others, such as 'Beautiful', with emotion-filled lyrics, reintroduce a softer side of Akon that was previously seen on his smash hit 'Lonely'. Drawing even closer to the sound of previous Akon releases are the expansive 'Be With You' and the Lil Wayne collaboration 'I'm So Paid'. Engulfed with theatrical beat kicks, these booming rap numbers add a melodramatic contrast to the album's lighter and more harmonious pop tracks.

Freedom is an album that proves that Akon is more than capable of breaking genre boundaries. By drawing back from the conventional R&B based songs that gained him a series of chart hits, Akon has arguably taken a large risk. But, by carefully selecting specific elements to add variation, he has presented an album that will delight his established fans with traditional traits and entice everyone else with his new pop-infused sound.

 Lovely!

Not got his other albums, but on buying this I may have to try them!

Great songs sung in a fantastic voice! Quite a few collaborations on it, though unfortunately doesn't include new duet with Shontelle.

Still amazing throughout, and personally I love 'Sunny Days'.

Excellent buy, and definately recommend to anyone who enjoys 'Beautiful' and 'Love Right Now (Nanana)'

 Fantastic!

Best cd of 2008! Akon's best ever album! I cannot stop listening to it or choose a favourite song they are all 10/10! One song which really caught my ear first time round was "troublemaker".
A must have for all akon fans out there, and if you're not an akon fan you will be after you listen to the album!!

 Catchy

Brilliant album from akon, at first i sort of thought that all of his songs sounded the same but i was wrong. Each song has it's own qualities and its one of those albums where you can listen to it over and over such a good album definately buy!
