Akon’s no longer in Trouble or Konvicted as he was for his past two releases, so on Freedom, the Senegalese crooner is finally settling down to lead a moderate life of… pungent cologne and Italian leather? His new disc abandons hip-hop for ’90s euro-techno, featuring anthemic synth lines, Auto-Tuned vocals and chest-thumping kick drums suitable for a night at The Roxbury. Aside from a requisite nod to more urban values on “I’m So Paid,” the man who once longed to “Smack That” is now only concerned with sentimental matters of the heart. Yet on “Against the Grain,” when he sings “Look at me, I’m stuck / That bubble in my pants got me caught up,” he sounds about as sincere as this shoddy, ill-disguised attempt to tap into the Eurotrash demographic.
