Se7en’s US MV & Single drops today
Se7en’s single and MV for “Girls” debuted today. It’s exactly what the previews suggested it would be.
Since it’s on myspace video I can’t embed it here but just follow the link above. Or if you want to buy it click here.
Productions values are pretty decent and Se7en himself looks sharp but overall the entire package is a bit underwhelming. For something that was two years in the making it just seems too trite and overly polished. Thank god Lil Kim isnt spitting her trademark raunchy lyrics, that would have been awkward. I think my biggest issue is the fact that Se7en just sounds too squeaky poppy clean to be doing club tracks. It’s kinda like if one of the backstreet boys decided to drop a club banger. It gets a little better towards the end when Se7en’s pushing his voice harder and riffing.
The video itself is extremely typical. Really nothing special.
And I guess that sums up the entire ordeal. Nothing special. Hopefully the album will have stronger singles.
Se7en releases MV promos
Se7en is all set to drop his first single and video on March 10th after being pushed back from Valentines day. In anticipation he has released two teasers for your enjoyment.
Honestly it looks corny and played as hell but at least production values are clean. It’s just another BET video only with an asian dude. I’m guessing its just another paycheck for Lil Kim. In my opinion it’s a decent attempt but I know he’s better than this.

I was never crazy about the song but I never thought it was terrible either. Best wishes to Se7en.

- The KPOP singer from jersey everyone loves to hate, Jessica H.O., is attempting to comeback. Honestly she’s not that bad. Is it just me or does her rapping style sound really similar to Tasha’s?
- Charice Pempengco, the filipino child singer who’s gotten publicity everywhere from youtube to Oprah, will be singing at Obama’s pre-inauguration party on January 18th.
- Seoulbeats has shown New Jersey MC Johnnyphlo some love shortly after the release of his debut single and MV for “White Lie”.
- Another track by aspiring US artist Se7en titled “No Taking Back” has leaked and is making its way around the net. Once again it seems to be generating little fanfare.
- Singing family sensation Jazmin released a new webisode chronicling their holidays. They look like a fun group of girls. And one of them is so cute it’s almost ridiculous.
Some bad press for BoA & Se7en
Seoulbeats reports on two separate instances of not-so-favorable press for US artists-to-be BoA & Se7en.
For Boa, comments were made by famed film critic Roger Ebert. It wasn’t a direct criticism but she was more of an innocent bystander in a tirade against David Lyon (for whom she visited for his birthday bash.
Se7en, however got it even worse as he was torn apart in a commentary about one of his Verizon gigs.
Perhaps the old adage holds true? Any press is good press?
Se7en’s buzz slowly starts to grow
- Last week theAznTracker reported that Se7en’s video shoot for “Them Girls” featuring Lil Kim was going to take place soon.
- Already pictures from said shoot have surfaced online.
- Also, the Seattle times did a feature article on him in light of his upcoming Verizon store appearances.
It’s no performance at times square via MTV Iggy but it’s a start.

Being lazy again.

- Se7en, who has had two songs from his american debut already leaked, has had a new version of his single “Them Girls” leak featuring veteran femcee Lil Kim.
- Pictures from BoA‘s latest photoshoot for her US debut have been circulating the net(click here and here). It’s a much more mature look/style that I don’t think really fits her. In some cases she looks pretty good in a pair of jeans, but in other cases she looks just plain skanky.
- Son Dambi, the KPOP-singer-come-US-actress in Hype Nation has just been featured as soompi’s artist of the week.
