Korean-American singer Amerie held a press conference for her new album entitled “Because I Love It”.
Amerie Rogers, together with her mom Mi Suk Rogers (54) were in hanbok to face Korean journalists at the Seoul Joong-gu Millennium Seoul Hilton Hotel.
Her 3rd album “Because I Love It”, which was released in Korea on May 14 and planned to be released in the US in July, is creating hype because it includes her duet song “Take Control” (Asia title track) with Se7en.
Amerie highly praised Se7en. “Se7en is a very talented singer, dancer and performer. He is creative, wise and working with him was a fun experience”, she said.
When asked who she would like to work with aside from Se7en, she said she wants to work with Killers and Coldplay.
“I put a lot of effort and soul in this album. It has the 80’s New Wave, Gogo, R&B, Hip hop and other genres”, Amerie, who wrote and composed all the songs, said.
Amerie’s concerts on May 24 and 25 were cancelled but she will be staying in Korea for 3 days and 2 nights for album promotions.
