Akon may release a country album under an alias

Akon has told MTV he has been writing and producing for country artists under an alias and may release his own country album depending on how those records perform.

R&B star Akon is also planning a controversial new album, by going all country and western on us. Akon has apparently been collaborating with various country stars of late under a pseudonym, but has told MTV he might release some of his dabblings in the country genre. He said: "I've been doing some writing and producing for some country artists but I've been going under an alias, so no one knows I'm doing it. Depending on those records, how well they do, I might just come out with one [album of country]... I just want to see if I can conquer this side of things".
