Akon’s albums comparison

Akon is one of the most successful R&B singers of the 21th century. He currently has 3 complete albums: “Trouble” (2004), “Konvicted” (2006), “Freedom” (2008) and a new album coming soon, called “Stadium Music” (2010). Although Akon has 6 Grammy Award nominations, will his upcoming album be as good as the previous albums? I think Akon has a great and relaxing voice, and I think his songs are both relaxing and rhythmic. I will compare the music, the themes, and the sounds of the albums “Freedom” and “Stadium Music”.

The music of both albums alternates between relaxing music and rhythmic music. The album “Stadium Music” currently has 2 singles: “Nosy Neighbor” and “Party Animal”. These songs, as well as many songs from “Freedom”, are mostly made for parties and other fun occasions. I think Akon’s music is beautiful and a lot of people in the world like him for his voice. Although his songs have different styles, is there something similar in them?

The themes of the albums are close to the theme love. The themes are: falling in love, enjoyment, loneliness and many more. For example, the song “Keep you much longer”, from the album “Freedom”, demonstrates loneliness, and the song “Party Animal” from the other album, demonstrates pure enjoyment. My opinion is that it’s normal to have one main theme because, in this case, there is only one singer with one heart, filled with feelings. Now that the themes are clear, are the sounds of the music as clear?

Most of the sounds of the music by Akon are fast and loud. For example, both songs of the album “Stadium Music” have sounds that are fast and loud. But a couple of the songs from “Freedom”, particularly the song called “Sunny Day”, are rather slow and soft. I think that a good album is an album with a lot of different sounds.

Although the album “Stadium Music” isn’t completed, it seems that both albums have already many similarities. The album “Freedom” was successful and the album “Stadium Music” has a good start. I think Akon always finds something new that everyone will love and dance to the beat.
