Akon Talks New Video
R&B singer and occasional Diamond Mine owner (shhh..he can’t talk about it) has been busy shooting his new video “Don’t Matter” in South Florida. The video will probably be his last for a while, Akon has been tapped to open up for Gwen Stefani on her Sweet Escape tour, which runs from April through the end of June.
“It’s pretty much my love story,” Said Akon. “Me and this chick, we’re together, but nobody wants to see us together, you know how everybody goes through that relationship stage where y’all happy, but everybody around you ain’t happy? ‘Oh, man, he ain’t no good,’ or, ‘She’s a ho.’ Whatever it may be, they have an excuse why that person ain’t good for you.
That’s how the whole concept of the song came about. But for the video, me and her took a little vacation. We wanted time alone trying to get away from all the inner-city stuff [and] people talking about our situation. Spend time with each other, really appreciate what we have. We take a trip to the tropics and do what we do.”
Timbaland Talks New Album
Looks like recent controversy regarding Timbaland and his production methods aren’t fazing him. The “Promiscuous” hit maker plans to release his new album, “Shock Value” on March 27th and its first single “Give It to Me,” featuring Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado will premiere this week.
“He ventures into the alternative world and the real pop world,” Timbaland right-hand-man Nate “Danja” Hills previously told Billboard.com. “He has so many different sounds from hip-hop, to pop, to rock on this album. And he pulls every single one of them off perfectly.”
The album will feature collabos from Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, the Hives, Elton John, Fall Out Boy, M.I.A, She Wants Revenge and Kerri Hilson.
