4th STUDIO ALBUM ANTICIPATION
TITLE: Akonic/Stadium
RELEASE DATE: May 2011
RELEASE UNDER: Konvict Muzik/Universal Motown
FIRST SINGLE: Angel
CONFIRMED SONGS
1. “Give It to ‘Em”
An ominous chorus makes way for rapid handclaps and epic instrumentation on this heavily Auto-Tuned track. Akon robotically coos “na na na” on the chorus as a gruff male chants the song’s title. “200 percent, I’m on my job,” Akon sings on the fast-paced jam.
2. “Time Is Money” featuring Big Meech
Black Mafia member Big Meech, popularized on Rick Ross’ anthem “B.M.F. (Blowin’ Money Fast),” introduces this Timbaland-esque jam with a stern speech on how you’ve only got “time or money.” Soon, double-time snares kick in on the bass-heavy joint, where Akon plays with a fast delivery against a slow-rolling rhythm. “I’m on my grind, money on my mind,” he sings.
3. “Be Me”
Stadium hits its dance floor stride on this tune, where Akon lays out the difficulties that come with being a superstar over effervescent percussion. “Know what it’s like to be me,” he yearns on the chorus as drums rattle beneath his deadpan vocals.
4. “Drop Down Low”
The Konvict boss flips the switch to Euro-house music on this aerobically-paced tune. Over snapping handclaps and sliding synthesizers, Akon commands the listener to “break it on down” on the brooding tune.
5. “Angel”
Akon’s first single, “Angel” is a fast-paced romp that fits in nicely with the other house-friendly tracks on the album. “Way above the clouds in the sky singin’,” croons the performer. A surefire club banger.

PERSONAL OPINION:
Personally i don't think Angel is the first single cuz he is not even promoting it, Party Animal would have been a great single. Sometimes i think Akon is dumb cuz in his past album there were many songs that are single standards like "Be with me" and "Keep You Much Longer" but he went and release "We don't care" i am not saying its a bad song but c'mon "Be with me" would been a great single. O.k back to the Akonic/Stadium album, there were about 4 or 5 songs that leak inthe past week from Akon like "Chasin U", "Freaky", "Boomerang", "Love Handles", "One more time"...... i don't know if it will be in this album or his mixtape, yes he is releasing a mixtape soon.
