Akon Live in Manila 2009

Akon released his new album Freedom on December 2, which spawned three singles: "Right Now (Na Na Na)", "I'm So Paid" (featuring Lil Wayne and Young Jeezy) and "Beautiful" (featuring Kardinal Offishall and Colby O'Donis). Akon is also confirmed to feature in Flo Rida's upcoming album with the song "Guarantee". The Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger said that he'll be the producer for her next album Her Name Is Nicole and she said that he will feature her in a song called "On My Side". Rap singer Nelly confirmed that Akon, Pharrell and T-Pain have talked about forming a rap supergroup in 2009.

A new song by Akon called "Angel Eyes" featuring Play-N-Skillz has leaked onto the internet; the song's instrumental is clearly from the classic Kim Carnes song, "Bette Davis Eyes".

Akon comes back in Manila for his second concert at the Araneta Coliseum on May 23, 2009 Saturday, 8:00 PM.
