    Editorial Reviews:

    Amazon.com
    If R&B has been drifting lately, Konvicted proves Akon's ready to take the wheel: His reedy voice encapsulates Jersey, Jamaica, and continents beyond (Africa, most notably); his wait-a-beat delivery enhances his high-flying hooks; and his attitude mulches thuggery and womanizing into something worth spreading around. If that's not indication enough he's on a roll, consider the accolades Konvicted is racking up--a Grammy nod for "Smack That" (featuring Eminem), a No. 1 single with "I Wanna Love You" (featuring Snoop Dogg), sales in the millions. To count Akon a musical groundbreaker, though, you have to be ready to embrace a new genre that might take Brian McKnight and Usher fans a little getting used to: hardcore R&B. Both "I Wanna Love You" and "Smack That" don't shy away from raunch, and tracks like "Tired of Runnin'" and "Shake Down" bring on an MC edge that belongs more to the street than to the bedroom. Still, count on Akon to convince holdouts he's worth hearing; both his message and his manner bear the marks of the unstoppable. --Tammy La Gorce

    4 out of 5 stars A follow-up that shows "konviction"   November 14, 2006
    Amanda Richards (Georgetown, Guyana)
    20 out of 23 found this review helpful


    This second album from Akon is a genre-bending collection of R&B and Hip Hop tracks and lots of ballads. Singing with passion and "konviction", he returns with that unmistakable accent and international musical flavor that propelled his debut album to multi-platinum status.

    The first single "Smack That" is an infectiously catchy dance track, and having a re-energized Eminem as a guest artiste won't hurt it's chances at all. The second single "I Wanna Love You" (or the version with the more explicit title) features Snoop Dogg, where Snoop is ready for a little action, and Akon is looking for a relationship, just like his pal T-Pain.

    However, if R&B ballads are more your thing, there are some excellent ones on this album, such as "The Rain", "Never Took the Time" (one of the best tracks on the album), the reggae-beat "Mama Africa", "I Can't Wait", and the retro-soul track "Tired of Runnin'"

    For mid-tempo fans there's the down to earth "Gangsta Bop", "Blown Away" (featuring Styles P.) and the bonus track "Gringo". If its dance tracks you're after, you'll also like "Shake Down", but this being a more introspective album there's not much room for dancing.

    This album contains explicit lyrics, and the unfortunate thing is that the profanity doesn't complement an otherwise very good album. A good buy for someone who likes R & B ballads and doesn't give a #### about profanity.

    5 out of 5 stars Akon - Konvicted   November 26, 2006
    Constant (Vancouver, BC Canada)

    Akon provides an excellent release with his sophomore album "Konvicted" (2006). A relatively short diverse album, guest appearances come from Eminem, Styles P (of the Lox), T-Pain and Snoop Dogg. Eminem is featured on the album's first single "Smack That", while Snoop appears on the second single "I Wanna Love You", with both cuts getting heavy rotation on the radio and in the clubs. I prefer the later, Akon and Snoop provide a outstanding track. Styles P's lyrics and Akon's singing are on point on the grimy "Blown Away". Midway Akon slows things down putting heart into cuts like "The Rain", "Never Took the Time" and "Mama Africa". Akon shines on "Gangsta Bop", an excellent track; Akon's singing & lyrics are memorable. Akon goes real deep on the heartfelt and exceptional "Tired of Runnin", with on point lines like "I learned theirs no one to catch you when your falling, and their will be no one to hear you when your calling". Akon reflects on days past, and people's daily life and moral struggles on the powerful "Once in A While". "Don't Matter" is an upbeat love ballad, Akon sings soulfully about overcoming all the odds to be with the one you love. It's been awhile since I have bought a cd, which has quality music from beginning to end, without skip/filler material. Akon's "Konvicted" is definitely an album worth adding to the collection.

    This is the best yet from Akon;it shows a totally different side of him aside from the hardcore persona most rappers depict. I'm loving it.
