Konvicted is obviously a more thought out and solid release from Akon.įrom my personal stand point, Akon is at his best when he is singing ballads. Konvicted (nice play on his name btw) is his star-making sophomoric follow up to Trouble that features the hit Lonely. Soothing rhythmic beats for the most part lend a helping hand. With a voice so high that it can sometimes be soothing, he tags along by using artist like Eminem and Snoop Dogg to guide his way to pop superstardom. Kelly wannabe with a shiny face, throwing an African flavor to today's R&B scene. I'm sure many of you have a few of those friends that claim that 'this *** is their song' on a 3-month rotation, then forgets it had existed. Those typical pop thumpers tend to annoy you with their popular burn mix on every car ride. Thus proving my point that it's more of a trend than music. Simply because they use the same seven or eight songs repeatedly so some people would be forced to get into it, furthering the mind numbing up comers of today's America. They try to capture what young listeners might be into, yet comes off as shoving it down their throat with an airplane baby spoon. Review Summary: Pop radio never sounded so better.
