From melody to lyrics, Hoài Lâm's new song "Trắng ngà" (Ivory White) is somewhat reminiscent of "Hoa nở không màu" (Flowers Bloom Without Color ). Both songs are ballads, with a poignant and gentle feel. The lyrics speak of regret over a past love.
The flower bloomed without color, and now 'That flower still has no color'.
The lyrics, written by Hoài Lâm himself, express the feelings of someone who wants to cherish a love that has already passed: "The flower remains colorless, yet it feels so strangely natural. What meaning does it have when I've been filled with sorrow and regret for so many years? I know I'm just a flower, a white flower. Just walk through my life, it doesn't matter."
"By the time I wanted to cherish it, our love was already lost. We're no longer together, so we have to end things. My heart is broken, I'm silently devastated by your cruelty. I know now that it's too late for us to be together."

These lyrics are reminiscent of " Hoa nở không màu" (Flowers Bloom Without Color) , the "national hit" of 2020 by Hoài Lâm, composed and accompanied on the guitar by musician Nguyễn Minh Cường for his acoustic performance.
The lyrics of "Flowers Bloom Without Color" have become familiar to audiences: "Love has faded like flowers blooming without color. The more we cling, the further apart we become. We are left to embrace this pain, dying silently amidst the clouds. It is etched deep in our weary hearts."
Now we are two strangers. How sad it is, yet I can't express it. Life is so unpredictable, why do I keep clinging to these feelings? I bear my own wounds alone."

In June, Hoài Lâm also released a cover version of the song "Anh đau từ lúc em đi" by composer Trần Mạnh Cường. This song was also sung by Đàm Vĩnh Hưng and included in his new album. Hoài Lâm's cover was well-received, reaching position 29 on the YouTube Music trending list.
Every time Hoài Lâm releases a new song or a cover, he receives praise for his emotional and sweet voice. Audiences regret that he doesn't work more regularly and have a more professional team to take his career to the next level.
How much did Tran Thanh praise Hoai Lam?
Speaking of Hoài Lâm's potential, a clip of Trấn Thành praising Hoài Lâm in a 2018 talk show recently went viral again. After hearing Hoài Lâm sing a segment from the classic cải lương (Vietnamese traditional opera) play " Tiếng trống Mê Linh," musician Đức Trí praised him, saying, "I didn't expect you to sing cải lương so well."

Tran Thanh commented: "You sing Cai Luong not like you learned to sing, but because it's you. You do it like when you're hungry and you have to eat rice, it's an unconditional reflex. In the past, when the older generations sang, you knew it was them. Nowadays, young singers are losing their distinctive style because they are learning to do their best. But you were born to sing like that."
Tran Thanh said that as soon as Hoai Lam sings Cai Luong (traditional Vietnamese opera), the audience recognizes it as his voice. His singing style is "rich, elegant, refined, gentle, and relatable."
