Hong Duyen is like a "gold mine"

With this music project, she continues to reunite with musician and music producer Duong Cam since the success of the album "Duyen" in 2017. "Du yen" includes 9 songs: Xuan thi, Cau duyen, Tim em trong chieu hoi lim, Qua cau gio bay, Ky niem nao buon, Nang chieu rong roc, Trang gia, Hue xua, Mua tren pho Hue. In which, Cau duyen is a new composition that Duong Cam wrote specifically for the female singer. Cau duyen , after releasing an independent MV at the end of February 2024, received positive feedback from a large number of music lovers.

With Du Yen , Hong Duyen and Duong Cam tried to renew the once famous songs associated with People's Artist Thu Hien, famous singer Tuan Ngoc, Ngoc Son... Duong Cam dared to challenge himself by giving the "mission" of renewing familiar songs to So Duy Anh, Nguyen Duc Minh Duong, Sy Thang, San Trinh - very young musicians in the Background band. Also participating in the mixing and arranging were musicians Nguyen Minh Tu and Duong Cam.

The arrangements have given the songs a contemporary feel when played on Violin, Cello, Flute, Guitar... This helps the 8 familiar songs "escape" their old sounds and take on a new look.

To Duong Cam, Hong Duyen is like a "gold mine" that needs to be exploited.

According to Duong Cam, Hong Duyen is a female singer with a special voice, soft, flexible but very powerful and delicate in pronunciation. With a good foundation of vocal technique, Hong Duyen seems to play with melodies, creating a pleasant feeling for the listener but still promoting resonant, high and bright notes.

There is one special thing, no one thought Hong Duyen would sing Pham Duy's music if Duong Cam had not persuaded her. In this project, Hong Duyen performed Old Moon and Bright Afternoon Sun by musician Pham Duy. Having the female singer sing Pham Duy's music shows that Duong Cam has a sharp mind and broad vision. And with the concept of Hong Duyen as a "gold mine" that needs to be exploited in all forms, Duong Cam did not take risks when determined to implement this musical idea.

It is known that from the time Du Yen started to complete the project, it took nearly a year. The whole crew had to change the filming location many times, because the setting Hong Duyen wanted was a place where nature and people were in harmony, fresh and peaceful. Not only focusing on her voice, Hong Duyen also sought new ways of expression. After a long time of thinking, she decided to record a live session performance with the band Background.
