iTunes Review

With Freedom Akon continues an astonishing course of success, delivering a set of songs so accessible they work as well whether played at top volume in a night club or as background music in a doctor’s office. Either way, you are unlikely to get these melodies out of your head. Club tracks like “Beautiful” and “Right Now (Na Na Na)” hurtle through the space without an ounce of weight or friction. When listening to these songs one has the feeling of being simultaneously propelled forward and suspended in thin air. Meanwhile, the disarmingly simple music-box melodies of “Sunny Day” and “Be With You” continue the tradition started by “Don’t Matter.” Other songs show Akon to be one of hip-hop’s most reliable point men. “Holla Holla” folds his voice and protégé T-Pain’s voice into a single entity, while the raspy rhyming of Lil Wayne and Young Jeezy forms a perfect complement to Akon’s innocence on “I’m So Paid.”

AMAZING

GREATEST CD EVER. I mean, Akon has some really good songs out there, and a couple outstanding albums.. but this one tops them all. Right Now (Na Na Na) is a catchy song that you can't get enough of. Beautiful has a good beat and sweet lyrics. Keep You Much Longer has a really good chours and a catchy beat. Troublemaker has very strong lyrics and can pump you up for any situation. We Don't Care is one of thoes songs you just want to dance to. I'm So Paid is a flossin song. All the songs have something outstanding about them, and I can promise you won't get bored of it. I suggest you pay the money for the album, you won't be dissapointed.
