Just recently heard this song. Se7en sounds so good & his English is bordering on perfection. Whether it's his debut song in the U.S. or not, I'm glad for the preview with Fabolous on the track.
& Since I can't post up a download link, if you haven't heard it, I'm sure if you go to any downloadable kpop websites, the song will be available. Or visit the Se7en thread here on soompi. I think it's a song you either like or hate.
Full Version: Se7en Feat. Fabolous - This Is My Year
No joke. It's one of the worse rnb songs I've heard.
If he wants to make it he'll need to do better than than.

I liked it. No offense but I thought it was better than the Omarion Feat. Bi song. It's cool that a Korean artist is getting some recognition and able to put out a song. Besides the song's a leak; nothing official yet. BUt yes Se7en does sound oh-so-good doesn't he?
I needa listen to this! Honestly, I'm more excited about Se7en's debut in the U.S than Bi's.
He actually sounds really good...
His English is better than Bi's...
^I always thought so too.. I adore them both, but Se7en's English is better than Bi's
o_____o
OMGG I didn't even know it was out! (online)
I'm very curious as to how it sounds.. When he speaks in English ..way too hot for words hahaha
I'm excited over both Bi & Se7en's American debut, as a big fan of course I will support them both ^^;
Is anyone willing to share the download link with me (through PM)? Pleaseeee

It's Fabolous, but anyhow, yeah Se7en's English was good but the beat was boring.
his english was decent BUT the song was horrible.
I thought the track was weak, the lyrics were bland and that Se7en's amazing vocals were horribly underused in this throw-away forgettable tune.
Perhaps more emphasis should be put to obtaining quality material instead of choosing glossy collaborative partners to piggy-back into the industry on. Have a little faith; he's far too talented for that YG. <3

Okay so apparently the song was leaked out and it's been asked not to distribute it.
It's killer to have not heard it but I hope no one distributes it and instead, waits for the single to come out (or hear it on the radio)
This sucks. I had high hopes to listen to it now-.-; but I suppose I can wait

I liked it bcuz it was from Se7en, but to tell you the truth this song didn't surprise me very much. It was just a normal song and nothing really special. Se7en's English is great and I liked this song more than Bi's one. But I think if he want to be popular in USA, he must do better than this song!! I hope this track is not the official one. I don't care to wait a little more to get a better one. Cuz I want him to success!! He really should work very hard!!! It's not easy to be popular in USA being Asian!
SE7EN's English is excellent, but the song itself is not. It doesn't have anything that makes it stand out at all. You can't even dance to it; it's too boring.

My thoughts exactly. The song didn't surprise me at all. I just had a feeling that it wouldn't be anything outstanding. I sometimes feel the Korean Entertainment Industry sugarcoats everything. I read about this collab a few weeks ago on a Korean newspaper and could only shake my head. It's like they don't trust him to be successful without having a well-known rapper featuring in his song.
NEVER MIND. turns out the song got leaked or something, and people aren't even supposed to know about it.
se7ens' english surprised me lol
but yeh...i guess he kinda has to be good..
he regurarly visits australia without publicy saying so for holidays
he has relatives ova here ^^

Yea I heard it and it was nothing impressive but better than Man Up.
His english is good though.

I just wished it wasn't so repetitive (and the background music.. it's king of annoying).... I agree with some others, they should have showcased his voice a bit better. But his english is pretty good.
actually i like man up a bit more

My thoughts exactly. On the bright side, his English wasn't too bad.
Stop comparing Se7en and Rain's english songs -.-;;
Okay to tell you the truth its a bit boring. Though its catchy when you listen to it over and over but I'd rather have Se7en debut with a different song. Se7en's english pronuncion was good too. {The track was produced by his american producer ya?
}
{My bro even listened to it and he said the only good part is when Fab comes in x.x'' and he didnt even know Se7en was speaking english x.x;;;}
I still have faith in SE7EN, good luck to him

Well it seems he's letting his US production team take control everything. But I guess knowing that you're in the hands of a producer who has done famous hits for artists, I guess you wouldn't want to interfere much.. However, Rich Harrison hasn't impressed me w/ this song. Also, I agree with this:
Oh really? ^^ Stacey is going to be thrilled to hear that. She lives in Australia too. Haha did you ever get meet to him?

It's up to Se7en's US team to how he will debut but I agree with tokyo_chick in a way, because I'd rather Se7en test out the waters a little bit more and do small local venues first instead of putting everything on one song that they hope will be a hit. X_X

his English phenomenal, on the other hand, the song was dreadful. (let's hope it gets some radio-play). "i want to see an asian artist succeed in america."
Well finally I was able to hear it
I personally liked it, they said it would be different
and it was, but it was good.
I think they are playing it safe because this is his debut
I can see people bumping to this, lets give it a chance guys.
I liked how Fab came in rapping
people say he overpowered Se7en, but that's just how Fab raps
so if your gonna collab with him, you better be ready to sing your ass off
just like in "Get Right" remix, he overpowered J.lo in that song.
It sounds like something that will catch on
it sounds legit, if it were any other k-pop artist
singing this song, it wouldnt sound right.
Being that Se7en has that universal appeal, it sounds right
because Se7en is true to r&b music, he doesnt just say
"I wanna do r&b cuz it sounds cool" no it's in his blood to do this music.
I was impressed by the song
But stop comparing this to "Man Up" already dammit!
He didnt make this song to counter that song!

where did u guys get the song?i'm dying to hear it,lol.
Didn't like it.
Man... Se7en's vocals were so damn underused. Listen to any of his Korean hits, then this one immediately after.
Damn, it's so bland. There's not even a bridge. The English isn't horrendous, but still needs some work.
The beat is annoying.
There's like a verse... and then a chorus and sub-chorus. That's it.
And it doesn't give his range a challenge whatsoever.
Well, at least I can't say that I was disappointed... I wasn't expecting much out of it.
I don't think he'll produce any English songs that can even be remotely described as a "hit" until he masters the language;
when you're learning to sing a new language, you have to change your vocal stylings completely for different vowel and consonant syllables. (especially from an Asian language to English)
So, he still has a bit to go.
Not to rag on Se7en, though. He rocks. ;]

Fab's killed it, but se7en's part was kinda of weak.
I haven't heard it. I guess I might have to wait awhile.
it was a letdown.
he could do so much better for his first song.

the chorus is kinda hard to understand... i was expecting a song that u can dance to....
based on Se7en's song and Rain's song..
i could understand Rain better....

^---------Chibisuke~ I hate to disagree with you on soompi...but actually I didn't like Man Up at all. Bi's English in that song sounds kinda fobby. Se7en's English sounds better and more natural. We were still let down by Se7en though! 
Or at least...his songwritters/producers. Se7en did what he could with what he was given.
I agree with people here though. The song isn't exactly a title track. o.O
Maybe it'd be better if they just re-wrote Anyclub. Teddy wrote it, so why not? hahaha. I'm joking. My point though, is that the song really isn't something I want to hear Se7en debut with...o.o
I am serious when I say that Teddy needs to write the song Se7en debuts with...Teddy collaborated with Se7en's best songs. I know that se7en is under a new producer and stuff...but if they're coming out with this stuff, then they need to let someone better take over the song writting.
Um, the song wasn't as bad as I was expecting. People made it sound like it was going to be horrid. Definitely not what I'd expect from Se7en at all. gosh gosh gosh. Let us Se7en fans just wish him the greatest luck though. Hopefully his title track or debut song...or ALL songs will be better than this one.

As much as I like Se7en, I will have to be harsh. This song will not help him break into the U.S. market.
The lyric is corny and the song is repetitive. It's quite annoying. The only good thing about this song is Se7en's English, it's clear.

His English has improved A LOT! I'm so proud of him! On the other hand, I don't like the song. It's too repetitive =S
I just listened to this.
I have to agree about Se7en's vocals being underated.
I personally think that you can't really hear his voice much =/

English was much more than I expected ^w^
But the song. . . it well . . it disappointed me a lot. It felt like the rap took over the song itself =[

I agreed with Crispy. The beat was annoying and overall it was just not as good as I thought it'll be.
I didn't get the opportunity to hear it, but after reading these comments I'm not expecting a lot.
the beat is very reminiscent of Fabolous' style ..or at least his older style
i have to be honest at first i was soo excited and spazzing about the song when it first leaked ..mainly cause i was soo happy his english was awesomee and also because i love love lovee Fabolous ...so i thought it was the best thing eveRR ..
it's a good song ..it';s just that it can be better ..it's not the worst thing everr ..c'mon these days saying that this song is one of the worst is a bit over exaggerated ..good song just shouldn't be his first single over here in the states =/
..anyways i can;t wait for Fabolous' album to drop in april and hopefully se7en's

If perfect English speaking Asian singers like Utada Hikaru and Coco Lee can't make it in America, I highly doubt Rain will either.
hahaa sounds like something fabulous would make =/..LOL...is it just me or is the beat covering se7en's vocals oy.......but se7en's english is seriously good..other than that..a very average and normal song..something that can't help him debut in the states o_O

Okay okay, I really love this guy and all. He has amazing vocals and drool worthy dance skills - but this song is just not up to par.
It seems this song should be called: This Is His Year - Fabolous Feat. Se7en.
Fabolous completely overpowered Se7en with his few lines. Se7en barely sounds like he's singing - but rather a background vocal. His english is sufficient but I think he could improve enunciating the words a bit so you don't have to concentrate so hard to understand his words. I really hope this leaked track doesn't end up as the final debut song. It's catchy and I like the beat but it doesn't have that 'umphf' that catches everyone's attention and keeps them humming this song in the shower.
Overall though, I'll excited for his debut. I know when the time rolls around, he'll be able pull it off and give everyone a taste of kpop.
PS. On a funny note - near the beginning when Se7en goes 'you need to let it go and need to take it slow', it reminds me of when female singers do the whole seductive tone and stretch out the last syllables.

Hmmm.
Well.... honestly. I love Se7en. I've loved him ever since that cute as bathtub video. o^_______________^o
(Who didn't fall in love with Se7en after seeing that video
!)
But this song. Is nothing special. I honestly don't like it very much. It's... so... bland and repetitive.
What Se7en needs is... what "Yeah" did for Usher. What "In Da Club" did for 50 Cent.
Something that people can dance to, with a catchy 'phrase' (whether that's some Lil Jon style yelling or "go, go go, go shorty~"... I mean after that song, it was EVERYONE's birthday!).
"This Is My Year" is just very monotone. Maybe because only a LQ versions' been leaked, but the beat is very... bland.
"Passion" had such a good beat, and that was before the Tipsy Remix.
It's okay, but I know Se7en can do better
Love his English

i totally agree. fab was awesome. =/
wow am i the only one who thinks its such a catchy track? i seriously love it! and i usually like se7en's ballads more than his up beat stuff...but this has such a great beat. the only thing i don't like is that se7en didn't really sing much...thinking about how much he actually sang, about 2 verses? 
and they just repeat. really disappointing
but his english has gotten so good w00t for se7en

it was okay but it didn't sound special...and neither of the singers/rappers sounded very enthusiastic (err esp. fabulous). i like se7en's other rnb songs...but i guess they wanted to make it more...fast beat to market to the American public...?
SE7EN's English is awesome! =] The song? It wasn't that good.
I'm sure he could have used more of his vocal skills.
There's nothing really AMAZING about the song.
He just keeps repeating the same thing over and over again.
I don't know! =/ I'm sure he can do better than that.
Buh chea, FAB was great! NO DOUBT!

I haven't heard of the song more than 18 sec's but i've heard bi's song that one was really good except Bi's pronounciation he really should work on that. I'm really a big fan of both and i'm wishing them luck but i hope they succeed cuz it's really No Joke !
the best part of the song was fabolous =X
i personally think it was better than the bi/omarion song, but it still wasnt great.

honestly.. i didnt really like the song. i mean se7en has AMAZING vocals, but you really cant hear it in the song. i just hope that he doesnt turn into a singer that uses explicit lyrics. that is one of the flaws of the american music industry. the lyrics, and the music videos 
I've heard it and didn't like it.
I can't believe he's debuting with that song O____o I thought it would be some fast beat but it turns out to be some slow beat. The melody to the song is just so plain T______T I didn't even know which part of the song was the chorus. ^^;
Seriously, I think he can do better.
