Here is the official music video for Akon’s single “Right Now (Na Na Na).” It’s the lead single from his third studio album Freedom set for release on December 2, 2008. The music video was directed by Gill Green and premiered on November 6, 2008 on BET and in Germany on the TV show “Viva Live.”
The song is reflective of Akon’s new style, a departure from his sophomore album, Konvict.
“We changed the sound up a lot,” the 34-year-old Senegalese-born artist tells Billboard.com. “Everyone adapted to the ‘Konvict’ sound already, so we had to switch it up. Now we’re bringing the whole Euro-club sound. That’s where we’re headed with it.”
The synth sounds heard on tracks like the single “Right Now (Na Na Na)” exemplify the more dance/techno-driven music Akon has crafted. The crossover track is currently No. 18 on Billboard’s Pop 100 chart. […]The singer/songwriter/producer plans on going on a 10-to-12 city promotional tour a week prior to release in support of the album, plus an official concert tour in February. He is also running a contest online through which fans can submit videos stating what freedom means to them for an unspecified prize.
