Akon, "Right Now (Na Na Na)"

[krazymack]

The lead single from Akon's third album Freedom is quite earworm-inducing. Eventhough the use of the "Na Na Na's" are seemingly redundant and irritating, it is perhaps the main factor in giving the track tremendous amount of listener appeal. In fact, the track has a sizable bullet at the format's airplay chart.

I find it rather intriguing when lyrics demonstrate the artist's insecurities and the way it is conveyed vocally.

This has grown to be one of my favorite Akon singles. His record is pretty spotty with me (can't stand, e.g., "Lonely," "Belly Dancer," etc.) but this one I do like.

[blahblahblah]

I like this one.

This one is bland. At least it's not another walking hard-on song.

Oh yeah, that god-awful "Now/na na na" part certainly doesn't help the song any.
