Query: Akon's Album is mediocre at best.

Locked Up is the best song on this album. Akon has several songs that sound similar to Locked Up but they just do not have the same passion and effect. Belly Dancer is another nice song and so is Trouble. However, beyond these three songs this CD lacks appeal. Akon is talented and has a unique, velvety sounding voice. However, he needs not just good sounding songs, but good sounding sonds that complement his unique voice. And this CD lacks those. Nice first try. Better luck next time.
