BoA is doing a duet with popular American singer Akon, it has been announced. She is featured on a song on the album Freedom+2, which Akon is releasing in Japan next month.
Freedom+2 contains songs from Akon’s third album Freedom that was released last year in the U.S. The song Beautiful from that album was originally done with Kardinall Offishall and Colby O’Donis, but Akon decided to make a new version with a female artist from Asia for the upcoming album. Akon decided to offer the collaboration to BoA, who just made her American debut with an album in March.
Freedom+2 goes on sale on August 5. On the same day, Beautiful will be made available for chaku-uta download as well.
