Akon added vocals and remixed Buffett's song "Anything," from his 2007 album 'Staring At The Sun.' Buffett wrote "Anything," after visiting post-war Liberia and Sierra Leone. Akon, an avid supporter of aid organizations benefiting his home of Senegal, viewed the video Buffett created after his trip and was immediately inspired to contribute. "This song serves as a global call to action. After my trip to West Africa I knew I had to express what I saw the best way I know how - through music - and to have Akon hear my call was an honor and a surprise to both of us," Buffett says. Akon adds, "I didn't know who Peter was when we met, and he didn't know anything about me. That's the thing that makes our work together genuine: It's based simply on our desire to encourage people to do something."
The "Anything" remix is the first project in what will be an ongoing relationship for this unique pairing. Next up, Akon will begin work on the song "Can We Love" from Buffett's upcoming album 'Imaginary Kingdom' (out September 9th, BeSide Records) and together they are planning further artistic collaborations around this theme.
We are still loving "Anything f/ Akon" music video by Peter Buffett (a Thumbs Up!) although its been over three months since was given a 'Thumbs Up' here at MusicRemedy (September, 2008).
An oldie but didnot make it to 'goodie'. Apparantly not enough attention to make it to the top. A pity...
