Tran Thanh 'criticizes' Van Mai Huong's acting.

Commenting on Van Mai Huong's performance in the music video "Uot Long" (Tearful Heart), which paved the way for her 5th studio album, Tran Thanh humorously stated that the singer's acting "wasn't up to par" and urged viewers to wait and see the runner-up of Vietnam Idol 2010's acting in his Lunar New Year film next year.

"Uớt lòng" (Wet Heart), released on July 29th, was written by musician and music producer Hứa Kim Tuyền based on Văn Mai Hương's own experiences and reflections on love. The singer shared that after experiencing happiness, ups and downs, and even foolish moments in her relationships, she wanted to convey her own story through music, with the honest and open perspective of a modern woman.

Speaking about Van Mai Huong, Tran Thanh said: "As someone who has observed from afar as well as interacted very closely, and gone through many ups and downs together, I find that in this showbiz industry, it's rare to find someone who has been in the profession for as long as Van Mai Huong yet remains as innocent, naive, and emotionally charged as if it were their first time. That's her artistic nature, and that's why every song she performs feels so genuine." The male MC praised "Uot Long" (Tearful Heart) because, although the story is sad, it's not overly sentimental.

The lead role in the music video is played by the talented Thien Minh. Van Mai Huong said she had invited the male singer three times, but only this time did she receive his agreement.

In terms of musical style, "Wet Heart " is a "bole-pop" song that blends bolero and pop, but is actually a rumba rhythm from Latin music combined with bossa nova. The song also evokes Vietnamese music from the 1960s and 70s, with a retro and nostalgic feel.

Returning to collaborate with Hua Kim Tuyen, the male musician expressed his earlier promise to Van Mai Huong to find a different producer. He said: "After many years of working together, Tuyen and Ms. Huong are no longer simply colleagues but like sisters. Ms. Huong herself will develop technically, emotionally, and in life experience. Tuyen will too. Both of us are new every day, so nothing will be repetitive."

Speaking further about her fifth studio album, Van Mai Huong said that releasing an album every two years isn't a race, but simply "releasing the music once it's finished." She also mentioned that while her previous albums mostly featured the emotions, perspectives, and thoughts of Hua Kim Tuyen, this album tells stories that are entirely her own.
