Album cover Nature by musician Nguyen Minh Cuong
Nguyen Minh Cuong's album "Natural" was released in both physical and online formats - on online music platforms. Nguyen Minh Cuong continues to take advantage of his ballad strengths because, as he said, "in my musical career, ballad songs have always received the most love from the audience."
With a "fortune" of self-composed works of up to 100 songs, however, the album Natural by musician Nguyen Minh Cuong only includes 8 songs. Of which, there are 6 completely new compositions: Natural, Loving a person hurts too much, Sad person makes the sky pour rain, Want to forget but can't, Still love and Crying by the river . Besides, the album also has 2 hits that are associated with the name of musician Nguyen Minh Cuong: Colorless flowers bloom and Why are you sad, my dear .

The 8 songs in the album "Natural" were produced and arranged by 8 famous musicians such as Hoai Sa, Dung Da Lat, Hoang Nha, Tuan Mario, Le Thanh Tam, Minh Thuy, Quan Nguyen, Minh Dai - in a modern style, adding many elements from other music genres and flexibly changing the song structure, to create a "new wine" for the "old bottle" called pop/ballad - a genre that is too familiar to the general audience.
In particular, Nguyen Minh Cuong's album "Natural" attracted great attention because of the contributions of famous names: diva My Linh, diva Ha Tran, overseas singer Thanh Ha, singer Phuong Thanh, singer Hong Ngoc, singer Ho Ngoc Ha, singer Le Quyen and singer Pham Quynh Anh. Gathering many "big sisters" of Vietnamese music today into one album, musician Nguyen Minh Cuong said "it took all the courage to dare to invite and mentally prepare for being rejected, but everyone happily accepted".
Director Tran Thanh Trung ( left , manager of singer Ho Ngoc Ha) shared that Ho Ngoc Ha will make a MV for the song "Natural" as a way to support and spread the new album of musician Nguyen Minh Cuong.
The album's title song - Tu nhien was sent by musician Nguyen Minh Cuong to the emotional voice of singer Ho Ngoc Ha. The male musician talked about the fate when collaborating with Ho Ngoc Ha in the "national" ballad song Ca mot troi thuong nho : "The song has brought Cuong's music to a new height, and Ms. Ho Ngoc Ha is the one who helped Cuong with that. From that natural fate, when starting the plan to write songs for this new album, Cuong assigned the title song to singer Ho Ngoc Ha."
Two of musician Nguyen Minh Cuong's hits - Hoa no khong mau and Buon lam chi em oi were renewed by diva My Linh and "queen of the tea room" Le Quyen. Two talented singers breathed new life into two familiar songs, from performance techniques to emotions. Hoa no khong mau was arranged in a jazz style, harmonizing skillful vocal techniques and the emotions of a woman who has experienced many levels of love. Meanwhile, Buon lam chi em oi is even more sad and "deep" through the warm and narrative voice of singer Le Quyen. Musician Nguyen Minh Cuong affirmed: "After the male voice of Hoai Lam, these are the two female voices that sing these two songs of mine the best".
Musician Dong Thien Duc (author of Tomorrow People Get Married ) came to congratulate musician Nguyen Minh Cuong.
Nguyen Minh Cuong and his wife Hoai Thu - who always supports and helps him have more conditions to excel in his composing career.
“My musical inspiration is only one, which is my own love memories, there is absolutely no hidden story behind it. I hope my music will be received in a very "natural" way: naturally surging emotions, naturally resonating melodies, naturally loving the song... so that Nguyen Minh Cuong's music can penetrate the hearts of the audience in the most natural way", musician Nguyen Minh Cuong shared more.
