Se7en is a singer who’s been around for a long time and someone whom everyone knows. However, he’s never had the breakout career that many might have initially expected. There are probably a number of reasons for that including a dearth of albums to promote (he’s only released four full albums in the ten years since his debut). Then there were the years he spent in America working towards a U.S. release that didn’t exactly work out. That’s not to say he hasn’t been successful because the guy’s had a pretty stellar career but I think that Se7en really is one of YG Entertainment’s most untapped resources and needs a kick start in his career once he completes his military service.
Maybe his biggest hit to date was the single “Come Back to Me” from his debut album ‘Just Listen’. The album was released back in March of 2003 and the song spent two weeks at the top of the charts in May helping to solidify its place as his most recognized success. The medium tempo rhythm and light melody helped to showcase Se7en’s silky, R&B inspired voice that is his trademark.
I’ve always been a fan of the guy, especially the more recent stuff he’s released since making his comeback to Korea, so I’ll be rooting for him when he’s back and ready to go; I’m sure his fans will agree to that.
