Dang Khoi's 'That Year of Youth', Nguyen Tran impresses with 'What's the Point?'

Singer Dang Khoi once thought he was "past his prime" because he had been quiet for too long. Thanks to the show "Anh trai", he was unexpectedly loved and accepted by young audiences.

Dang Khoi has just released the album Thanh Xuan Nam That, marking a memorable journey in Anh Trai Vuon Ngan Cong Gai , which is also an important milestone in his career.

Singer Dang Khoi releases new album.

“After a long period of silence, I thought I was past my prime and would find it difficult to return to the big music stages. Thanks to Anh trai traversing thousands of obstacles , I was able to live in the love of the audience again. It was such a beautiful journey, as if I could only see it in my dreams,” he shared.

The male singer confidently returned to the stage after a period of absence.

The album brings songs associated with Dang Khoi's youth. The 8 songs released in the album include: Winter Girl, Heaven Without You, Love Leaf, Days of Memory and Night of Longing (in collaboration with Lien Binh Phat), Only a Dream (in collaboration with Truong The Vinh, Duy Nhat), Sending to Future Husband (in collaboration with Trang Phap, Thuy Anh), Late Summer (Bang Kieu)...

Melodies that are familiar to the audience are remixed and renewed to suit current music trends but do not lose their nostalgic feelings.

Besides the familiar ballad, pop and R&B styles - genres associated with Dang Khoi's name, the album also has additional highlights such as duets and collaborations with guest artists.

Each song in the album reminds of a part of Dang Khoi's and the audience's youthful memories.

The male singer shared that the project was prepared for a long time, from choosing songs, arranging music to staging live performances.

Every detail is taken care of to bring the most meticulous and emotional musical experience to the listener.

"This is not just a music album but also a journey of reminiscence, bearing Dang Khoi's personal mark," he said.

On the same day, young artist Nguyen Tran also released his debut single What's the Point?

The song depicts the feeling of loneliness in a crowd when we think we have all the conditions to be happy but still feel empty inside.

Young artist Nguyen Tran - son of the leader of the band Buc Tuong Tran Tuan Hung.

The song was composed, performed and produced by Nguyen Tran himself. As the son of guitarist Tran Tuan Hung - current leader of the band Buc Tuong, since high school, Nguyen Tran has supported Buc Tuong in producing demos for 2 albums: Con duong khong ten and Can bac .

In 2023, he made his mark through a performance event with The Wall in the middle of Ha Long Bay.

After graduating with a degree in Music Production and Communications from Denison University, Ohio, USA, Nguyen Tran currently lives and works in Los Angeles.

He brings to his music a combination of singer-songwriter narrative and the free-spirited energy of alternative rock.

In a foreign land, Nguyen Tran feels more lonely than ever. This song is his way of opening his heart to the world and hoping that many people will find sympathy in it.

The song was written in English by him to express the spirit of integration and spreading more widely in a globalized world.

Guitarist Tran Tuan Hung said his son has loved music since he was a child. What surprised him was that since 7th grade, he had spent hours watching YouTube videos of veteran rock bands like Pink Floyd, Queen, Mark Knofler or Nirvana - something that is rare for boys his age.

Tran Tuan Hung sent his son to guitarist Le Hung Phong for a while to learn the basics of guitar. Later, he researched, self-studied and developed himself.

"Standing on stage many times performing with The Wall can make him more confident as well as love this art form more...

My family and I always support our children to live their passion to the fullest, as long as they do it properly and are responsible for themselves and society," the male rocker expressed.
