Hong Nhung: 'Top trending has never been a measure to determine my position'

After a period of cancer treatment, Hong Nhung has just opened 'a new era in music and art creation' with the MV 'Tu cau'.

This is a special product of the female singer as it was made during the period before and after she was diagnosed with cancer. Hong Nhung said she started this project 1 year before, but after that big "turning point", she had to re-record from the beginning.

The singer of Mot Ngay Moi emotionally recalled: "People often say that Hong Nhung is a positive inspiration for more than 40 years of her career, so I thought it was true. However, only when an incident happened in my life did I realize that it was the love of everyone through messages, visits... that was the motivation, the spiritual support and the inspiration for me to overcome the most difficult moments without being lonely or feeling sorry for myself."

She added: "That is also the source of encouragement for artists like Hong Nhung to decide to continue with new creations so as not to disappoint everyone's love. Standing here today, I cherish every day I live even more. As Trinh Cong Son said, 'Life is limited, love is infinite', Hong Nhung would like to respond, even if only a part, to that love."

And the project marking the singer's return is the single and MV Tự hỏi (released on the evening of July 9) . This is a composition by Lope Pham - the singer's nephew - who left many impressions with rapper MCK in the album 99% . Contributing to the product is another young voice - Trung Tran. The recording was mixed and mastered by musician Le Thanh Tam. Regarding the image, the singer collaborated with choreographer Tan Loc, Arabesque dance troupe and director Phuong Vu from AntiAntiArt.

Sharing about this team of many young people, Hong Nhung said: "Everyone keeps saying that working with Ms. Bong is great, she teaches her children. But that's not the case. She gets to work with the children, I get to work with the younger ones, so I can learn and improve from that. Through that, I can live true to today, not just cling to my own success from a long time ago."

Talking more about the meaning of the song, the female singer shared, " To ask yourself is to look at yourself, to look into your soul to see that the vibration is always there. Each individual has their own vibration and loves beauty immensely, that is the driving force of life."

Hong Nhung said that director Phuong Vu surprised her so much that even though she had been singing for more than 40 years at the Hanoi Opera House, when she entered the filming set, she was still surprised because the set design made it so different. She also told about the time she risked hanging 9 meters high, which required stitches to repair the wound she had just had surgery on.

Hong Nhung's New Era

Working with a crew of all young people, when asked if the song is aimed at a young audience, the singer said she had not thought about it because Tu Quai could be suitable for anyone who wants to look deep into their soul and heart. She also added: "Top trending is a measure of many singers but has never been something to define me."

Hong Nhung added: "After that incident, my life changed, I became a different person, my perception also changed. I understand that I am extremely small and always cherish and feel grateful for this life in every song." That is also the reason why the female singer abandoned the master version that was previously made in Italy to record a completely new version thanks to the help of musician Le Thanh Tam.

Director Cao Trung Hieu shared: "When I heard the demo Tu moi, I knew this was a milestone not only for her and young artists but also for us - those who love and always care about Ms. Hong Nhung and Vietnamese music ."

Nguyen Ha, Quang Dung, Phuong Thanh, H'Hen Nie, Mlee, Thao Trang... were present to support the female singer in launching the product.

She affirmed: "Today is Hong Nhung's comeback day, marking a new era in Hong Nhung's musical and artistic creation. And this era, I would like to follow you all." The female singer revealed that there will be another MV next October, while director Cao Trung Hieu also promised to have a live concert in the near future.
