Akon is back! Five years after the release of his last album "Freedom," the Konvict singer makes his long-awaited return with with a brand new visual for his most recent uptempo cut, "So Blue," a track that fits the bill and is set to appear on his upcoming long-awaited fourth studio album, "Stadium," which appears the 40-year-old pop artist is getting the vibes back to his hit-making days. The new video feels like a short film and has Akon at the center of the action, saving the female lead.
Akon first came onto the music scene back in 2003 with his hit, "Locked up," and he has become a force in the music industry with his unique, sexy and smooth vocal range. Akon's latest hit is another example of how this R&B singer cannot go wrong when it comes to music. Akon has not tried to push his musical sound forward at all but success would indicate that Akon should just do more of the same when it comes to his music. After all, Akon has a simple formula when it comes to success; find a song that will show off his style as a musician and flash his beautiful eyes to the camera.
Akon can churn out a potential hit single without any issues. "So Blue," a smooth song that has a catchy hook and chorus, is driven by some nice, laid back keys and strings that makes for a nice combination for his vocals to rest upon. Akon takes to the track effortlessly, floating upon the melody and rattling drums and showcasing his sounds. Here, we see Akon sing about a woman who's being mistreated by her significant other. "How he end up with a girl like you/ You're too fine to be looking so blue," he sings over emotional chords and pop percussion. "So Blue" finds the singer/songwriter supplying us with something smooth and new, riding the pop and R&B line nicely.
Akon shows loads of bravery in the video. While the drama is the crux of the clip, we find the Konvict Music crooner pacing around a room by himself and singing. After he sees a woman (Nia Long) being mistreated by her man (Tiny Lester) and ends up setting her own room on fire and bashes a lamp on Lister's head in hopes to escape, he comes to her rescue. He follows her through a ransacked building, while she leaves clues along the way for the singer to hopefully rescue her. As a fire rips through the bedroom, the charming hero sweeps her up and into safety. And the two live happily ever after - naturally. Watch Akon save the day and get the girl.
