Global superstar Akon announces his first single in a decade, “Akon’s Beautiful Day,” due out October 4, 2024, via Konvict Kulture Records. Known for his uplifting music and impactful global initiatives, “Akon’s Beautiful Day” represents the Akon we all know and LOVE. This powerful track speaks to resilience, hope, the light and sunshine in life’s darkness, and is “The Anthem the World Needs Right Now.”

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 feelgood beat and chorus that invites the world to sing along.

The release of the new single coincides with the 20th anniversary of Akon’s debut album, Trouble, which first launched him into global superstardom with hits like “Locked Up.” He was also instrumental in the early development of megastars Lady Gaga and T-Pain, signing them to his label and helping shape their careers. Akon is also embarking on “Akon Super Fan Tour Asia,” connecting with his fans across the planet and expanding his influence beyond music, including a documentary film in partnership with Kevin Hart and Hartbeat called “Headliners Only.”

As the first release in ten years by the mega-star, “Akon’s Beautiful Day” arrives at a moment when the world is needing optimism and togetherness. In an era marked by wars, challenges and uncertainty, Akon’s return with such a positive and unifying message. The song’s message resonates with Akon’s broader mission to inspire millions through his work in Africa, where he continues to champion access to energy and digital transformation with projects like ‘Akon Power & Lighting Africa.’ As Akon reclaims his place in the pop zeitgeist, this song marks a powerful return. With his soulful tones and the voices of inspirational children, Akon has created a song for the ages, exactly what the world needs right now.
