In a recent interview with the Associated Press, Akon spilled details about his next album, as well as Dr. Dre’s “dance record”.

“You’ve got some straight hardcore hip-hop guys actually moving into the dance realm,” Akon told the A.P. “And that’s shocking. When you’ve got someone like Dr. Dre about to do a dance record … that’s crazy.”

“It actually sounds great. He played it for me. I was shocked. So I was like ‘Wow, that’s dope. When the world hears this, they might go crazy.’ … When you’ve got the two worlds mixed together, clashing, it’s going to be a monster.”

Akon is currently working on his next LP, Stadium, and has recorded tracks with DJ Chuckie and David Guetta, suggesting the LP will have more of a house music feel.

“It’s on a whole ‘nother level,” he said. “We named it ‘Stadium,’ because it’s one of those records. We’re going to do straight stadium tours overseas with this record.”
