You know when you wait seven years for a new album from Akon and then five come along at once? Well, that's happened.

The singer's third album, Freedom, was released in 2008. He's now announced that new music will come in the form of five albums, each with a different genre.

The project, called Stadium, will include five full-length discs devoted to euro, pop, urban, island and world genres. The singer wrote on Twitter, "My focus was giving every part of the world the music they enjoy."

 

The singer has made five new singles, one from each of the five albums, available to stream on his website.
