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! Wow! But I wish it was a US release. Still, I’m sure helping Akon in Japan will pay off. Go BoA! <3

I’m glad she will be working with someone as well renowned as Akon but I personally HATE Akon.  I hate his nasally voice, his generic music style and his ultra-shallow lyrics.

Boa already did a duet with Westlife years ago (for the Asian release of Flying Without Wings). Why is this such a big deal? It’s still only for Japan. I never heard the Asian version of the Westlife song playing in radios here in the west, so I doubt this one will be played either. Hence, it won’t help her career.

It would’ve been more impressive (and better for her US career) if the duet had been for Akon’s US album.

If she’s going to work hard to show her good side doesn’t that mean she has a bad side? When do we get to see that?
