The singer from Senegal will be releasing his next disc, Freedom, on December 2.
Although some tracks will have a similar sound from his last album, Konvicted, Akon told Billboard.com that fans should expect to hear a new style of music.
His first single, Right Now (Na Na Na), is currently number 18 on the Top 100. The song features a more dance/techno feel. The second single from the album, I’m So Paid, features Lil Wayne and Young Jeezy.
