Si presenta nel nostro Paese con un valido biglietto da visita:
600mila copie dell'album vendute in America ed il brano più trasmesso in UK.
Il suo nome è Akon, interessante rivelazione R&B, che ha appena pubblicato il disco intitolato "Trouble" (Universal), da cui il singolo "Lonely", già tormentone perchè una volta ascoltato è impossibile non cantarlo.
Una canzone vincente costruita sul campione (velocizzato) di Mr. Lonely, un brano di Bobby Vinton risalente al 1964.

Questo a conferma che in fondo ci vuole anche un pò di testa per scassare nel mondo della musica (Simone Cristicchi docet!).

Ma tra le due versioni quali preferire?

Beh senza dubbio la versione originale di Vinton, da dove come al solito nasce tutto, ad orecchio risulta più dolce ma anche più malinconica, quella di Akon invece, nonostante il testo, fa sbatacchiare anche un pò la capoccia...

e allora, allora W Akon che mi ha fatto conoscere anche "Mr. Lonely" di Bobby Vinton, così nn si offende nessuno afammokk!

Il Testo di "Mr. Lonely" By Bobby Vinton:

Lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
I have nobody for my own
I am so lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
Wish I had someone to call on the phone

Now I'm a soldier, a lonely soldier
Away from home through no wish of my own
That's why I'm lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
I wish that I could go back home

Letters, never a letter
I get no letters I the mail
I've been forgotten, yes, forgotten
Oh how I wonder, how is it I failed

Now I'm a soldier, a lonely soldier
Away from home through no wish of my own
That's why I'm lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
I wish that I could go back home
