(3 Customer Reviews)
Senegalese-born R&B singer Akon returns with the follow-up to his highly acclaimed debut TROUBLE. The talented vocalist shows he's able to juggle a few different R&B styles from seductive love songs ("I Wanna Love You") to deeper dirges of self-reflection ("The Rain") to heartfelt tributes to his homeland ("Mama Africa"). KONVICTED also has its share of hardcore hip-hop, with guest appearances from Styles-P and Snoop Dogg; Eminem even checks in on the official club hit, "Smack That."

Spin (p.88) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[S]natches of melodica, strutting piano, and lightly toasted reggae grooves keep the album firmly rooted." Entertainment Weekly (p.127) - "With his sensitive-guy croon and ex-con vocabulary, Senegal-raised singer Akon is the R&B thug of the moment." CMJ (p.40) - "Akon is an absolutely magnetic vocalist..." Vibe (p.111) - "The album's a collection of immaculately constructed songs....Akon creates a comforting consistency..."

Cilette Swann's exquisitely powerful vocals lead, while partner Roman Morykit balances the band's etherealedge with inspired bass and guitar counterpoint. Cilette writes lyrical tales with impassioned insight and Roman creates the evocative musical tapestry, which the two effortlessly marry. Roman, an experienced producer with fourteen CDs to his credit, handles all of the production and most of the instrumentation for Gypsy Soul's CDs. Their extraordinary music and unique sound has been likened to artists such as Fleetwood Mac, Eva Cassidy, Sarah McLachlan, Sheryl Crow, Allison Kraus, Shawn Colvin and Loreena McKennitt for its depth and beauty. The two met in Scotland and have traveled the world together for 13 years. Between the two of them, the duo has lived in five different countries, thus, bringing to their music, the influences of many cultures. Gypsy Soul's inspiration also stems from their diverse family roots: Roman is British, of Italian and Ukrainian decent, while Canadian-born Cilette's heritage is Irish and South African. Their eclectic "Triple A" sound reflects this diversity and is categorized as "World/Acoustic-Rock" as often as it is called "Celtic/Americana".Of their eight critically acclaimed CDs, Gypsy Soul have sold over 75,000 CDs independently without distribution. Through the band's relentless touring they have garnered enormous regional support through fans, media and radio. Their songs have been heard on over 900 radio stations nationwide and abroad.
