As y’all know, last week, SE7EN held his album preview party at a popular club in Hollywood, The Highlands, where he performed three songs, including his first single, “Girls.” The 12-songs album is set to be released this summer, possibly on July 7th (7/7). I found an article of what they talked about at the press conference. This is the brief summary of it and below, I’ll post the video clip so you guys can hear him talking in English =) which I think he did such a great job, and he has that much confidence to respond back to all the questions.
How do you feel about the album preview?
▲ I’m very excited and looking forward to it, since this will be my first party to celebrate my first U.S. album. There will be three songs in the preview party which are, “You got me now” featuring Three 6 Mafia, “Money Can’t Buy Me Love” composed by Teddy 1TYM, and “Girls.”What would be the most difficult part of the album preparation?
▲ The hardest one would be learning the English language, and to actually learn the meaning of the lyrics. It’s very time consuming to study but I had fun.What do you think about the whole experience in the U.S.?
▲ Frankly, to me, the burden is bigger than the presidential election. The feeling is more now than five years ago when I first debuted. I learned a lot about music in the United States and as I live here (through experience). I felt a lot growing up that there are a lot of prejudice here in the States, and I would like to try to eliminate the prejudice against Asian singers. I hope to set up a good example for other Asian singers.Is it important to study the language and why?
▲ Actually, since I am a singer, language is not really a big obstacle. Singers can actually ’speak’ to people through their music, because I think music can pass through the language barrier. But if you exceed that barrier and learn the language, it would be much better for the singer to send his message over. I’ve been learning English intensively (about 3-4 hours a day) for the past 4-5 months.
