Akon featuring Keri Hilson – Oh Africa (Song Review)

Akon featuring Keri Hilson – Oh Africa (Song Review)

Posted by Gallivanter in Music Reviews on 31. Jan, 2010 | 0 Comments

Akon, an artist that I find bloody annoying because of his nasal deliveries, have some really good tunes, especially IF he does a cameo, or like this one where he teams up with Keri Hilson. On his own, Akon’s rubbish. I’m not sure what motivated him to sing a song about Africa, but the African [...]

Michael Jackson featuring Lenny Kravitz – Another Day

Michael Jackson featuring Lenny Kravitz – Another Day

Posted by Gallivanter in Music Reviews on 06. Jan, 2010 | 5 Comments

Damn! Another MJ song surfaces! Apparently Lenny Kravitz mentioned earlier that he did record a duet with MJ, and if this is it, DAMN DAMN DAMN! The collaboration is freaking cool because they both complement each other – MJ brings the magic and Lenny Kravitz brings what he brings best, sex appeal rock.
This is only [...]

Akon, most people I know find him irritating, but I’m not sure if that’s a deceiver so they do not look like fools as they’re actually closet fans, or they just simply cannot endure his voice. I have a love-hate thing going on with this fella, because half of his tunes I think are purely wish-wash while the [...]

Michael Jackson writes “River Ripple” for his children

TRAGIC Michael Jackson had been working on a new song with his three young children – and said they were “The Jackson Four”, sources close to the family revealed last night.
Jacko began writing the number – titled River Ripple – after a day spent playing traditional games with son Prince Michael, 12, daughter Paris, 11, [...]

Paradiso Girls feat Lil Jon – Patron Tequila 8/10
Keri Hilson’s loss will certainly be Paradiso Girls’ gain. I previously blogged about Keri Hilson’s duet with Lil Jon on the same song albeit a different song title – “Hey Girl”. I still can’t get over the “cultural” [...]

Akon feat Michael Jackson – Hold My Hand

Ladies and gentleman, we have a winning combination right here! After Akon’s excellent rendition of MJ’s Wanna Be Startin Somethin earlier in the year, both of them went back to the studio to record this track. It’s classic Michael Jackson, and it’s catchy. You can actually imagine the music video – a choir singing and [...]

Akon ft Kardinal Offishall – Dangerous

Posted by Gallivanter in Music Reviews on 17. Apr, 2008 | 2 Comments

This track is taken off Kardinal Offishall’s 4th album, “Not 4 Sale”. Akon is the executive producer of the album and it’s no surprise that he lends his voice for this track. I was not smitten by the song at first, but after the second chorus, I enjoyed it. A recommended track for you Akon [...]

Akon feat Kaye Styles – Shawty

The word “shawty” seems to be getting a lot of attention lately. What was before used to demean short folks, is now re-branded by the black community – just someone hollering at you, and nothing else. Now, it’s Akon’s turn to “borrow” the word. He joins forces with Kaye Styles, the man behind the song, [...]

I checked out the album, mainly for the collaborations on MJ’s legendary tunes. Fergie, Kanye West, Will.I.Am and Akon are all featured in a handful of updated MJ tunes. THRILLER, till date, is the BIGGEST selling album of all time. This was Michael Jackson at his best. No one else came close to his legendary [...]

Mario ft Akon – Do Right

Akon, either you love him or hate him. Me, I respect the guy. 2007 has been his and Timbaland’s. This track on Mario’s album, “Go”, is produced by Akon. It’s not easy for me to like an R&B tune, because I quickly get bored. Yawning stuff. Who knows, I might get bored of this tune, [...]
