Global superstar Akon released his highly anticipated new single, “Akon’s Beautiful Day,” on October 4, 2024, via Konvict Kulture Records.
In his career, Akon has achieved unprecedented feats, including holding the number one and two spots on the Billboard Hot 100 twice reaching a YouTube view of one billion, all to push boundaries and inspire and connect people worldwide.
“Akon’s Beautiful Day” features an intercalate of the viral hook sung by 10-year-old Jamaican student Jermaine Edwards, whose heartwarming performance at school captivated audiences around the globe and Akon.
It is a stadium-style anthem that combines his smooth vocals with a choir of children’s voices, echoing the message that no matter what you are going through, there is always light and beauty in life.
Collaborating with Jkash, JR Rotem, and Phillip Phever, Akon has crafted a beautiful song that reminds us music has the power to heal and unite. The song builds to a warm-feel-good beat and chorus with formidable acoustic guitars making it an instant viral hit.
‘Akon’s Beautiful Day’ is a beautiful song that beautifully captures the heart and spirit of its listeners with the lyrics and rhythms.
The release of the new single coincides with the 20th anniversary of Akon’s debut album, Trouble, which first launched him into global superstardom with hits like “Locked Up.” He was also instrumental in the early development of megastars Lady Gaga and T-Pain, signing them to his label and helping shape their careers.
Days before the release of ‘Akon’s Beautiful Day,’ ThisIsRnB’s host Kadeja was thrilled to speak with superstar Akon. It was Akon’s pleasure to share the song’s meaning and significance with the world, and why now is the perfect time for it to become a global phenomenon. Aside from dropping gems for aspiring artists, he provided advice on staying relevant in the music industry and its current state, and so much more.
