안녕하세요!
*bows* Tiffany wasn’t able to make it for Se7en‘s showcase last Saturday (19 Feb 2011) so she invited me to get some pictures and write a little something for her.. for you ^^ I’m “Kandace the Photographer” by the way, you might have seen some of my pictures around Seoul Rhythms.
Anyway, back to the main point. Se7en had a showcase at St James Power Station to promote his latest album, “Digital Bounce”. I’m definitely above the age of 18, but frankly, the only club I’ve been to was my school’s Photography Club.
Really. Since this wasn’t exactly my “arena”, I decided to go there exceptionally early to check out the place.
The crowd wasn’t exactly present when I reached so I held up the “crowd” shot till later. I took a short video clip at the end of the showcase.
Se7en sang 6 songs. Well, technically it’s 5 songs. He sang his title track “Digital Bounce” twice. One as the opening song and the other in the middle. The other songs sung were “I’m Going Crazy”, “Better Together”, along with songs from the older album, “La La La” and “Passion”.
I’m not much of a music critic because the only thing I was really thinking about during the showcase were the pictures (naturally). However, all in all, it sounded pretty good. You know Se7en.. he sings live and sings well. Aside from one or two stray notes that comes with live performances, it was perfect. No complaints here. Here’s a short video clip of the showcase. (It’s a small segment at the end of “I’m Going Crazy”)
Right after opening with “Digital Bounce”, host Ken from Radio 1003 had the audience sing the chorus of the song while Se7en danced to it. It’s a good thing the chorus is in English.. or else.. *awkward* Haha!
“Digital Sound”
“Digital X”
Se7en removing those shades. *major screams*
Se7en didn’t give anything out this time, thought he did at last year’s Samsung Galaxy Tab promotion. Wouldn’t it be nice to take home “a part of” Se7en? Even if it was an opened bottle of water?
Imagine bringing it home and your mom sees you freaking out over a bottle of mineral water. Haha! That would be hilarious ^^ Even though there wasn’t much fan service, he did get everyone to sing the chorus of “La La La” along with him. It was a nice moment because it everyone started swaying together. Atmosphere +4.
There was one part which was particularly amusing that I totally need to share. He was taking off.. or should I say.. attempting to take off his jacket. He was a ton sweaty and the jacket just wouldn’t be nice and slide off his arm. It took a few awkward errr-i-am-stuck-please-helppp-me seconds to get it off. (video) One of his dancers smiled when he found out what was going on and quickly helped get it off. Teamwork +3.
Near the close of the seemingly short showcase (it lasted about an hour.. perhaps, a little less than that), Se7en gave a few final words. In English. (which was quite impressive, by the way.) I think he must have been tired or getting sentimental, because he seemed to be rattling on about.. something. Haha!
He ended it all by going, “I don’t know what I’m saying right now.. but.. all I want to say is thank you, guys.. and I love you.” with a little side head nod. (video) Wasn’t that sweeeet? *sigh* But there’s no need to fret, Se7en mentioned that he’ll be back again! By the looks of it, he really keeps his word. In the meantime, cross you fingers and hope that he’ll come soon! *cue out song: “Come Back To Me“*
With much thanks to Warner Music Singapore. Do check out their facebook for more updates in the future. I believe there are more events in the pipline.
Thanks Kandace! Love your writing and love your photos even more. Come back again…? hehe!
OMG, Se7en does look good and his dancing is as brilliant sa ever. But he has 3 years of catching up to do, so he better pali pali release new album.
L- did you enjoy yourself?
No problem Tiffany ^^ Anytime! My mom said he’s put on a little weight since last year.. hmm… perhaps- i can’t really tell. Yeah a new album sounds good.. Exciting~! It was very fun (: Thanks for entrusting me with this event!
Yes, Tiff… enjoyed myself…. but just disappointed in Warner Music for not promoting his event well.
The autograph/phototaking session, it was a wrong venue.. if it was held at Bishan Junction 8 , the turnout would have been better.
I took his first album lyrics booklet and when he was leaving, i keep on flashing it…haha….. that’s why he looked to my camera……keke… since Kandace has shown the video at the showcase, this is the video i took at IMM when he was leaving..
