Final Album Rating 8.25/10

“Freedom” is Akon’s third studio album. The album has great production but the melody and lyrics aren’t as great as his previous two albums. The story and lyric are pretty much the same throughout the album. One thing I wonder is why Akon decided to make the worst song on the album “Freedom” (Track 13) the name of the album. Overall the album is still pretty good. By the way, am I the only one who thinks Akon uses a vocoder? He sounds way different when he performs live.
