AKON FREES HIS SOUND AND GOES EURO

Fans that are used to Akon’s sound should get ready because the singer’s about to go in a different direction.  He told Billboard.com that his upcoming album, Freedom, will contain some signature Konvict tunes, but he’s adding the “Euro-club sound” into the mix.  The CD will include a dance track featuring T-Pain called “Holla Holla” but Akon’s urban audience shouldn’t be too worried as his second single from the disc, “I’m So Paid,” will feature Lil Wayne and Young Jeezy.  Kardinall Offishal and Colby O’Donis also appear on the album.   Akon’s Freedom will hit stores on December 2nd and he’s expected to kick off a tour in February.
