Akon - Mr Lonely single cover | |||||||||||||||
"Lonely" (also known as "Mr. Lonely") is a single by Senegalese singer Akon, it appears on his debut album, Trouble. The single was released in 2005 and was a worldwide hit. It reached number 1 in several countries, including United Kingdom, Germany (where it stayed there for 8 weeks) and Australia. It was also highly popular in France where it reached number 2, in Brazil it reached number 3 after 6 weeks on the charts, and in the United States it peaked at number 4. It also did extremely well in Senegal, Akon's motherland where it stayed on top of the charts for a very long time.
The song makes use of a sped-up sample of Bobby Vinton's "Mr. Lonely", providing a vocal sound similar to The Chipmunks. The song is written by G. Allen and A. Thiam (the sample is written by Bobby Vinton). Another version with a different sample exists. The song itself is about a neglective boyfriend who wakes up one morning to find that his long-term girlfriend (the lyrics mention at least a few years) has fled, her whereabouts unknown. As the song progresses, the boyfriend laments that he is responsible for his situation and becomes increasingly desperate to see his vacant girlfriend. The video shows a very upset Akon at the end of a show with one of his friends inviting him to chill, he declines and starts to sing while remembering his girl. Then he goes out the theater and walks the street. He runs into partners/lovers, an old couple, kids (Which maybe are laughing at him) and even bi-racial (The shot of the taxi that arrives behind Akon). There's also a kid he greets which may be a reflection of himself. It also shows his girlfriend crying, trying to call him, missing him too and leaving. It ends with shots of him singing and dancing both in stage and in the rain. The last scene shows Akon walking away between all these couples. This video is very similar to Shakira's "The One" from the album "Laundry Service" An edited version of this song has been heard on Radio Disney. Actor/Singer/Dancer Just Reynolds(actor name: Jabari) appears in the late 2nd minute of the song holding his arm around a girl with a rose. | |||||||||||||||
