International superstar Akon releases the new video to his single “Beautiful Day”. Such a very positive and uplifting song from the global musician, that can put many in a positive mood.
This powerful track speaks to resilience, hope, the light and sunshine in life’s darkness, and is what Akon has deemed, “The Anthem the World Needs Right Now.” Known for his uplifting music and impactful global initiatives, “Akon’s Beautiful Day” truly represents and encapsulates the Akon we all know and LOVE.
With a career marked by groundbreaking achievements, including being the first artist to hold both the number one and number two spots on the Billboard Hot 100 twice or reaching 1 billion views on YouTube, Akon has consistently used his platform to push boundaries and above all else inspire and connect with people worldwide. “Akon’s Beautiful Day” features an interpolation of the viral hook sung by 10-year-old Jamaican student Jermaine Edwards, whose heartwarming performance at school captivated audiences around the globe as well as Akon. This record beautifully wraps his smooth vocals around this melody, transforming it into a stadium-style anthem with the support of a choir of children’s voices, echoing the message that no matter what you are going through, you can always find light and beauty in life. Collaborating with Jkash, JR Rotem, and Phillip Phever, Akon has crafted a song that reminds us music has the power to heal and unite. The track blends Akon’s unique sound with a powerful acoustic guitar arrangement, building to a feel good beat and chorus that invites the world to sing along.
Akon announced shows with Burna Boy on October 23 and 24 at Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater and with T Pain on October 30 at Morrison,CO’s Red Rocks Amphitheater before heading out on his upcoming “Akon Super Fan Tour Asia” (dates/tickets here). In addition to connecting with his fans across the planet and expanding his influence beyond music Akon has partnered on a documentary film with Kevin Hart and Hartbeat called “Headliners Only.” “Akon’s Beautiful Day” arrives at a moment when the world is needing optimism and togetherness. Akon is fully re-energised and majorly musically re-focused after the completion of his intense 40 date (!) super fan tour that has taken him across four continents and has totally reinvigorated his enormous global fanbase. Akon has set out to again deliver the kind of massive hit records to follow in the footsteps of songs like “Lonely,” “Locked Up,” and” Bananza (Belly Dancer).” In an era marked by wars, challenges and uncertainty, Akon’s return with such a positive and unifying message.
