BoA and Akon

It has been made known that Korea's sweetheart BoA is working work hand in hand with world-renowned popstar Akon on a track off his Japanese album titled "Freedom+2".

Akon's upcoming album "Freedom+2" will consist of the 13 tracks off his 3rd album "Freedom" which was released in the states on November 2008, but will have an additional track, a remixed version of "Beautiful" featuring BoA.

Akon had specifically requested for Asia's best, BoA, to participate in his upcoming Japanese album. Akon expressed, "I met BoA for the first time on April 4th at the 'Spring Groove 09' concert. If ever in the future I have a chance to perform on stage with BoA again, it would be nice."

Additionally, BoA expressed, "I was very happy to work together with world popstar Akon. And because I personally like the song "Beautiful", the recording was enjoyable. In the future, I will work hard to show my good side."

The album is expected to release on August 5th, so Akon fans and BoA fans, unite and make sure to get a hold of that album!

Akon's 3rd album "Freedom" from 2008.

Akon’s music is complete garbage. What a waste of talent.

It’s not a big deal. In Taiwan, many of US artists like Beyonce Rihanna and Kylie Minogue got Taiwanese celebs to do duets on their Asian ver. Album. For example a guy called Vaness did it with Beyonce and he is not know in the US.

i hope they do an english collab together too.

this is a good thing if the remix would be played stateside. in japan, its not much of a big deal, the only thing its helping is akon. many artists have included a foreign artist in their tracks when releasing it in another country. i.e. neyo featuring utada on his track, do you. to whomever mentioned Beyonce feat. vanness wu on the crazy in love remix… that track is wack, lets not even speak of it. hopefully the remix is in english and will be heard on radios in the west.

Jaz*'s avatar

i really don’t like akon..at least i hope he doesn’t have a part in the song XD his voice is the most annoying thing I’ve ever heard !

 
mini_me's avatar

well amerie did the same with se7en! it’s too bad they’re not working on a track for the US then it would also help asian artists!

 
takaraS2taemin's avatar

yay ! hopefully it will be tons better than se7ens song with lil kim. that was so shit ^^

 
orenji's avatar

one step at a time… She have all the time she need for her US carrier. I am glad she’s not overhyped it and I am glad that she try all the possibility. All she need is connection and I can see she is working on it. Helping AKON in Japan will do good to her.
