Akon’s Hitlab

Saturday, January 30th, 2010 by Reel Marla

Akon’s large-scale venture the Hitlab.com is a really cool site that showcases aspiring singing artists; some of us would never be exposed to. You can listen to thousands of artist and their music all over the world. You can vote, purchase songs and even upload your own music and bio. Exciting!

I’m truly impressed by this site. I frequent it several times a week. You may also have the opportunity to be discovered by using Akon’s DHS (Dynamic Hit Scoring) Lab. DHS is a really unique technology that can predict if your song has the promise to be a hit. DHS is amazing. It totally breaks down your song into variables such as rhythm, pitch, tone and other factors and compares the structure of the music to the top 100 billboard charts of the past several years. So, an artist’s score can be higher if their variables bear a resemblance to the ones of hits. And, some lucky artist could get discovered and be given an opportunity to perform live in front of Akon. Heck, that sounds like some good news right there.

There are so many songs I like on this site. It’s like listening to my own radio station without all the ads and interruptions. There’s one artist I really like and that’s Heda Rose. Check out her music. My jam is Leaving With Me.

Go to the site hitlab.com and come on back and let me know if you think it’s a good site too.
