And Son Dang chose to start his musical journey with the EP "Khong Dau" - not rushed, not climaxing, but enough to stir up memories that seemed to have fallen asleep in his heart.
Every moment
Right from the name "Khong Dau" - no accents, no definition, the young artist has sent an intentional artistic signal.
Not trying to give any explanation, but just opening up gaps for the listener to fill in with his own emotions.
There are things in life that are meant to be felt, not named. There are sorrows that need to be kept quiet, there are memories that need to be kept like a slow-motion film, just enough to be remembered.
Musician Son Dang compares "Khong Dau" to a Cinematic Diary - a diary written with images, sounds and silences.
It is not a continuous story, but a series of moments. It is a place where fragments of emotions are retained, like vague echoes of memories that have not yet been named.
There's no need for an ending - just "touching" it is enough. Like in a movie, when the music starts, it's the most explosive moment.
With a duration of nearly 13 minutes, including 4 songs: "Kho Qua", "Nong (ft. Phuong Nghiem)", "Biet La, Kho", "Vo Tinh" all composed by Son Dang, "Khong Dau" is not for the majority looking for a catchy hit.
The EP seems to be for those who have been hurt but have never named the pain, for young people who are mature enough to understand that sometimes the best love is when you stop at the right time.
EP is like a moment of silence for listeners to reflect on themselves, to recognize sadness and find peace from unfinished things.
Slow Journey
"Khong Dau" does not mean no pain. It is the male musician's way of admitting that there are nameless emotions that are always there, never denied, just passed through with serenity.
EP is a slow journey, where sadness is kept like a closed diary, but still present, so that when needed, we can open it and reflect on ourselves.
Son Dang is a new name in the Vietnamese music industry. He turned from business to art, not to pursue the glory of the stage, but to find his original self within.
His music is soft and quiet - like a gentle friend who always listens.
He draws inspiration for his compositions from life itself, from hidden wounds, from wordless lessons, from the most genuine things he has ever experienced.
Perhaps that is why the music product has a very unique color, full of depth.
Collaborating with Son Dang in this project is Dion Dat - a soulful singer with beautiful high notes and delicate handling.
Not only taking on the role of singer, Dion Dat also participated in mixing. Besides, produced and mastered by Hpro (1BillionRecords) - an experienced producer who has worked with many A-list artists in the industry.
It is the combination of Son Dang, Dion Dat and Hpro with director Hai Pham (HaiPhamDirector) that has created a musical space that is both authentic and cinematic, elevating the emotions of the entire EP.
The EP "Khong Dau" is like a breath, a whisper for souls that need to be heard, not by volume, but by empathy. Because as he himself shared: "Emotions, if true, will naturally reach the right person."
The EP "Khong Dau" is now available on 23 global online music platforms and stores, such as YouTube Music, TikTok, Spotify, Apple Music... and is ready for listeners to step into the deepest space themselves.
