Akon Album: “Trouble: Deluxe Edition [PA]”

Description :

Contains an untitled hidden track following "Easy Road". <p>Personnel: Akon (rap vocals); Daddy T, Devyne, Pickelhead (rap vocals); Tony Love (guitar); Kardinal Offishall, Miri Ben-Ari, The Beatnuts, Baby Bash, P-Money, Sean Biggs. <p>Recording information: Upfront, Nashville, TN; Stankonia, Atlanta, GA; Patchwerk, Atlanta, Georgia (2005). <p>Young R&B singer Akon's life has been filled with struggle and fortune, and both scenarios are channeled into his debut record, fittingly entitled TROUBLE. Akon was born in Senegal, son of a well-known African jazz percussionist, but moved to New Jersey when just seven years old. Once in the States, Akon was in and out of jail, until he decided to forego that existence and embrace music. Akon's style derives from many influences, including hip-hop and his African heritage, but TROUBLE could be described as the grittier side of neo-soul, with a sound similar to Anthony Hamilton. <p>TROUBLE opens with "Locked Up," a smooth, rap-infused dirge perfectly suited for Akon's winsome, high-pitched vocals, which retain just a pinch of an African accent. He continues with the somber theme of redemption on the melodic "Trouble Nobody." Akon reveals a markedly different side of himself on the first single, the dance-floor tribute to beautiful women, "Bananza (Belly Dancer)." However, most of TROUBLE wanders in the sadness of living amongst urban decay, focusing on the trouble Akon has seen, and he's seen a lot.

- Excellent addition...

This is a great part 2 to the already good album of "Trouble." I've listened to this cd over and over, and it's just as great each time. Some of the top ones would be "Yey'" and the remix to "Banaza (Belly Dancer)". This is def. worth it...

The first cd was good but this one is even better. I guess its true what they say that the 2nd time is a charm. It is well worth the money and great addition to my collection.
