7-Day Wayback Music Challenge: Day Two - Sorry, Blame it on me by Akon
Hello friends, it's day two of my #musicwaybackchallenge.
Being a die-hard fan of the famous American Singer, songwriter, businessman, record producer and actor of Senegalese descent, back then in high school and university days. I will be sharing with you one of his tracks that I really enjoyed listening to, titled 'Blame it on me'.
'Sorry, Blame it on me' is the fifth single from R & B singer/songwriter Akon's second studio album, konvicted (Deluxe edition). The song was co-written and produced by Clinton Sparks.
I was already in my final year at the University, the year this track was released. It's a song I loved listening to and singing, following the fact that it helped me resolve a funny issue I had with my best female friend who was crushing on me(smiles). She was already reading meaning to our closeness. The beauty of it is, we are still good friends till date.
'Sorry, blame it on me' attained the number one position on iTunes on July 21, 2007 and July 23, 2007. It was released to radio on July 24, 2007. The music video directed by Chris Robinson, was produced to promote the single.

Still in love with this song especially this line
One star who rose from nothing to the top but now not shining like he used to.
So am putting the blame on all the hardship and trauma we've had in Nigeria especially during the insurgency on him 😉
Hahahahah, this cracks my rib. If we have to blame the insurgency on him, then we need to blame him for the transmission omission aprehension. lol
I remember the time when this song came out. After he got accused of interacting with a minor at a club. I felt bad for Akon at the time, he was the fall guy.
Now the guy is building an empire and continues doing great stuff for Africa.
i have much respect for Akon and his works. This song brings back good memories. Thanks for sharing @Turpsy
Thank you for reading, anyinke. Yeah he has a unique voice and he is good at what he does.
Yeah @leggy23 he was really a great guy then, I hope he will have more hit songs like before. Although he is still in the music industry.
