Only love can take us there...


Akon has launched a song to commemorate the victims of the slave trade. "Blood Into Gold" sees the R&B star collaborate with Emmy-award winning musician Peter Buffett, with proceeds from the single will go towards bringing an end to global human trafficking. The song was unveiled at the United Nations, New York, on Wednesday 26th March- the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery.

"I will do my part to spread the word - a lot of my US friends are not aware of the history [of slavery]"
- Akon
