Akon joins Kyle Meredith to talk about the 20th anniversary of his debut album, Trouble. The "Lonely" singer also previews his upcoming LP, so listen to the episode now.Akon takes us back to his 2004 mindset, in which his then-recent release from jail made up the bulk of inspiration for the songs on the record. He talks about breaking out of that persona after becoming so well known for it, as well as how he was musically looking towards Michael Jackson and Bob Marley. He also dives into the story of how he landed on the sped up Bobby Vinton sample in "Lonely," and helping popularize auto-tune with T-Pain.Elsewhere, Akon teases his upcoming album, noting that some of the new material arrives as a counterpoint to his lack of interest in the messages of today’s music scene.

I think that the direction of where we're steering kids at with music today is not helpful."Listen to Akon chat about all this and more in the new episode or watch it on YouTube.
