AKON is officially back with the worldwide release of his new single “So Blue”. The multi-platinum superstar, producer and entrepreneur debuted the music video for “So Blue” exclusively on VEVO.
“So Blue” sees AKON once again deliver an unshakable melody that’s instantly infectious and sizzling sexy. It’s the kind of pop R&B that fans worldwide fell in love with when he first burst on to the scene. At the same time, he ups his game yet again. Feeling “Blue” never felt so good.
The new track was co-written by Claude Kelly [Kelly Clarkson, Britney Spears] and co-produced by Jerry “Wonda” Duplessis [The Fugees, Miguel]. The Robby Starbuck directed music video features actors Tommy “Tiny” Lister and Rose Rollins alongside AKON.
