Akon - Freedom
“Last month, Akon told Billboard he was leaning toward a Euro-club sound for his new album, and he does just that on the techno-driven “We Don’t Care,” with its thumping bassline and organ-like riffs, and the dance track “Keep You Much Longer,” which takes its [...]

Pretty slow considering some of the artists on this single, and I have an idea this is about Obama (especially with all the war lyrics, plus that being his campaign moto), but regardless it’s a pretty decent single, and powerful as well. 7/10

Although there are some signature “Konvict” songs on his forthcoming album “Freedom,” Akon says his fans should expect a new style on the Konvict/Upfront/SRC/Universal Records set, due Dec. 2.
“We changed the sound up a lot,” the 34-year-old Senegalese-born artist tells Billboard.com. “Everyone adapted to the ‘Konvict’ sound already, so we had to switch it up. [...]

Lionel Richie has Akon and Ne-Yo in his corner on his new studio album, “Just Go,” due Feb. 17 via Island. First single “Good Morning,” produced by the Movement, arrives at urban AC stations today.

There are other remixes out there claiming to be the “official remix” however at this point this one is the original remix (there might be others to come). Kat Deluna provides a nice change of pace to Akon, and they complement each other very well. Up there with the original. 8/10

Sway provides some decent lyrics and an interesting style, and Akon does alright (except I was hoping for more out of him). Song is decent, could get some action on Urban stations, but unlikely to crossover. 6/10

Ralphi Rosario Radio Edit - Ralphi does a nice job really changing this track. I love the differences in beat between Tami Chynn and Akon. He really did an excellent job on this remix. 9/10
