Akon is all set to release his new album later this year with ‘Angel’ being the Pop single and ‘Give it To Em’ the Urban one, supposedly. The original date we heard was November 23rd but my guess is that it will get pushed back by a few weeks. Also, this MTV news article posted last week mentions the title as Stadium and not Akonic so we would have to wait for another confirmation on that.
“I was always the kind of person that just do what I love to do. But as you grow, you experience different things. You start travelling, you start collaborating with different people [and] you start experiencing life bigger than just here. And I think that’s what curved my music just to start growing bigger: ’cause I started getting bigger, the music kind of grew with it. I started creating elements that fit my lifestyle as I was living it now, ’cause I was the type of artist that created my music based from my experience. And nothing has changed,” he added. “I’m still that type of artist. I’m always in Europe, always in Asia, always in India, always in Japan, always in Africa, the U.K., France, and this is the kind of music that I’m exposed to.”
