If you have been following my reviews, you will know that I have a love-hate relationship with Akon. Correction – more hate than love, but when I love the songs, I really do. What I hate is his nasal delivery and similarity in the songs that it lacks creativity. Akon only shines in my...
Akon featuring Pitbull & Jermaine Dupri – Boomerang (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
This is a bloody hot number by the nasal-voiced Akon, Pitbull who’s been churning tracks like there’s no tomorrow and Jermaine Dupri, another nasal-voiced rapper. As I have said many times before, hip hop is moving up a couple of notches, marrying its genre with dance music. The...
Claude Kelly featuring Leona Lewis – Forgive Me (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
It’s produced by Akon’s record company, and hence some portion of the song, especially the melody, will remind you of Gwen Stefani’s combo with Akon a few years ago, called “Sweet Escape”, one of the most terrible songs released in recent times, especially...
Sean Kingston featuring Akon – You Girl (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
The chorus copies Akon’s previous effort, which is my favorite Akon track, “Day Dreaming”, albeit a slowed down version. Sean Kingston’s voice is breaking which is good because I dislike his nasally vocals. And when you put Akon’s ultimate nasal chops aside, this...
Dr Dre ft Snoop Dogg and Akon – Kush (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
This is strictly for fans of hardcore rap, a signature Dr Dre genre. I’m surprised Dre roped in Akon but I suppose the price of being commercial these days. Also, I’m not a fan of Snoop Dogg’s style of rapping either. I think Dre’s Eminem is more accomplished than Snoop...
Matisse featuring Akon – Better Than Her (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
Personally, I find this song annoying, as annoying as Akon as time goes by. Matisse could’ve done a better job had she not roped Mr Nasal, and also took the chorus more seriously instead of repeating the words endlessly. Those are my 2 thorns for this track, otherwise, it’s...
Akon featuring Keri Hilson – Oh Africa (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
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...
Michael Jackson featuring Lenny Kravitz – Another Day
posted by Gallivanter
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,...
Akon featuring Filapine – Rock
posted by Gallivanter
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...

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...

Akon feat Michael Jackson – Hold My Hand (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
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...
