Akon‘s next album will incorporate electronic dance music, the iconic artist and entrepreneur said in a recent interview.

Speaking with iHeartRadio, Akon revealed said that his fourth studio album, Akonic, is expected to release in early 2023. The album, he said, will cross over into many different genres, among them EDM.

“You’re gonna have a lot of pop rhythmic and some street records on there. It’s one of them albums where by the time you press play and you get to the end, you done traveled the world. All my albums always do that,” Akon said. “I always start off with street records and then I end up with a big ass pop record. So I like to take people on that journey because you shouldn’t be defined in music in one territory because I still have such a global audience that they wanna know what’s happening in the streets. So I always hit them with that. They’re not going through the mid and rhythmic records that radio is gonna to go crazy over and keep on rotation. Then I cross it over to these big pop, EDM, Latin, African Afrobeats. We going into everything on this album.”
