"To be famous, you must have an impressive music album"

Musician Nguyen Hoang Duy affirmed this when evaluating the rapid success of singer Mono. This "newbie" released his debut album called 22 with 8 songs in August 2022 and immediately attracted great attention in the music industry, becoming a "phenomenon" with a series of hits such as " Quen anh di" , " Waiting for you" , "Em la "... With modern, youthful music, keeping up with international music trends through the harmony of producer Onionn, the album 22 holds a high position on many charts; and by the end of 2022, Mono won a series of major music awards thanks to this album: Outstanding New Face of the Blue Wave, New Artist of the Year at the Dedication Award...

Thanks to the "push" from Mono, many long-time singers and new singers, from mid-2023 until now, have been aware of the need to make a complete album, or at least an EP (extended single, including 3-5 songs with a unified theme and idea), and no longer follow the trend of releasing seasonal products such as MVs and singles.

The most notable album today is the album Minh tinh - The actress by singer Van Mai Huong produced by Hua Kim Tuyen. The album is inspired by cinema, in addition to the opening song Dai minh tinh , the remaining 7 songs in the album are all inspired by famous movies. The maturity in the voice combined with life experience helps Van Mai Huong sing with more depth and also has enough suitable nuances to convey many genres of music in the songs. The new album helps Van Mai Huong have the opportunity to create her own "brand" with her own identity after a long time of musical activities. The two songs with MVs released before, Mua thang 6 and Dai minh tinh , are both products with great investment and for the remaining 6 songs, Van Mai Huong also brings 6 MVs that are impressive in terms of ideas, context, content...

Recently, singer Trini released the album Portrait with 9 songs by musician Quoc Bao: Portrait of me , Just like a song , Pale , Run away , Ashes of fame , Ephemeral ... Quoc Bao calls Trini "the nightingale of fiery love songs". He assessed that "Trini's gentle, secretly rebellious and honest personality and voice" convinced him, and during the process of working, he tried many musical styles and the style that he felt Trini could perform most successfully was adult contemporary pop - a type of music not to listen to for fun but to listen to contemplate.

Looking at the outstanding albums on the market recently, it is impossible not to mention the debut album Danh doi by Obito (real name Ly Quoc Phong). This album was positively received by both the general audience and experts. Obito tells his own traumatic story of growing up with many new colors, using many skills in wordplay, rhyme, theme selection, and coherent layout. The debut album Ai dang phai bat dau tu dau do by Hieuthuhai (real name Tran Minh Hieu) is also considered to be meticulous, full of artistry by a young face who is having great appeal on social networks. Previously, albums released by Gen Z rappers such as MCK and tlinh also dominated many Vietnamese music charts.

"Vietnamese music is less bland"

Standing in the midst of the current competitive music market, deciding to follow market trends or create a unique value is not an easy choice for young singers. Phuong My Chi with the album Vu tru co bay combining music and famous literary works is a wise choice that helps the girl who was previously known as a singer specializing in lyrical folk songs, now become more loved by young people, highly appreciated by experts for her powerful voice.

The song Silence from Vu Thao My's new album is in the top trending songs.

Coming out of the Best Song contest, the hooligan singer-songwriter (real name Le Cong Thanh) has just released his debut album EPIC with 11 songs, defining the personality of a liberal, free artist with seemingly difficult-to-listen-to but youthful, youth-friendly materials such as jazz, blues, alternative... Singer My Anh (daughter of My Linh - Anh Quan) said that she currently wants to balance between two factors: taste and personality to find her own place in the music industry, clearly shown in the MV "Can't Avoid" just released, held the mini show First Myeolody on October 15... to move straight to the upcoming complete new album with US-UK colors but softer, easier to listen to.

The new album about to be released by Vu Thao My - a beautiful singer, who won the championship of The Voice VN 2013, but few people know about, is also being awaited by many people, because it was produced by musician Anh Quan himself. Singer My Linh shared: "Since last year until now, Anh Quan has been in the recording studio to produce an album for Vu Thao My. He said that while he was driving, he heard a voice on the radio that made him have to find out who it was, it turned out to be Vu Thao My. He decided to call her to propose a collaboration. The music was composed by Vu Thao My herself, Anh Quan helped to polish the product so that it reached the listeners at the peak of a beautiful and mature voice. The album about to be released, I rate it 9/10, not because it is a family member, but because it is really good".

Singer Bui Lan Huong has also just released the album MonangeL - Goddess of the Moon inspired by the Mona Lisa in painting. Bui Lan Huong said: "It's not that I don't want to release many new products quickly to keep up with everyone, but because I always need to think about what I want to convey, what is the meaning of releasing a product before doing it, so that the audience can understand the message as well as my mark better through music". With the combination of musicians Duc Tri and Phan Manh Quynh in the two songs Sitting alone and Queen , Bui Lan Huong said: "I am happy because my colleagues understand me, my personality and my musical style to help me complete an album that best reflects the spirit of Bui Lan Huong in my career".

It can be said that the fact that singers are increasingly more aware of their profession, making efforts to produce their own albums to prove their inner strength and affirm their abilities is a positive movement in the Vietnamese music market. "Thanks to that, Vietnamese music is less bland and monotonous, everyone is the same, but is becoming more vibrant, colorful, and multi-styled with outstanding representatives and many unique marks; and it will not be surprising if in the coming period, many more albums hit the market," said musician Nguyen Hai Phong.
