Is it wise for Bich Phuong to leave Tien Cookie?

In mid-2023, singer Bich Phuong officially announced her departure from 1989 Entertainment, ending more than 10 years of the female singer working under the production team of Tien Cookie with a series of hits such as "Bao gio lai chong", "Em hot thuoc chua", "Bua Yeu"...

Many fans expressed regret because Tien Cookie was quite "cool" with Bich Phuong's products, helping her transform from a "sad" Bich Phuong with sweet ballads to a cheerful and vibrant Bich Phuong with dance music and EDM.

After 2 years of absence from the music market, Bich Phuong's image in the hearts of fans has not faded at all because she is very diligent in interacting with fans on social networks.

Sharing a lot about her daily life or her hobby of playing games during the epidemic, Bich Phuong is extremely secretive about when she will release a new product.

"Raising Cups to Drink Sorrow" marks the return of the 1989-born singer, as well as the first product she released with a completely new crew. The song is the product of "Bonghoaday" Entertainment, owned by Bich Phuong.

Well received but not highly rated

Despite its success with huge streams and trending, "Raise a cup of sorrow" has not really satisfied music listeners. Bich Phuong's unique style in the new product has almost completely disappeared.

Previously, with products like "Di du dua di", "Anh hot thuc chua", the audience saw a Bich Phuong who resembled someone and was truly special because this musical style was very similar to the singer's personality. A little bit sarcastic, a little bit funny and interesting, it was none other than the Bich Phuong that fans love.

With "Raising Cups to Drink Sorrow", Bich Phuong collaborated with a completely new team of musician, "rumored boyfriend" - Tang Duy Tan and Producer Drum7. This duo has combined and created many hits by Tang Duy Tan such as "Ben tren thang lau", "Cat doi noi sau"... which are highly appreciated.

The two above products of Tang Duy Tan appear frequently on social networks, creating an impression thanks to the good exploitation of the vinahouse and slow tempo genres.

However, despite their good personal impression, when producing for an artist with a personality like Bich Phuong, this duo still hasn't really exploited the singer's strengths and highlighted her image.

"Raising a Cup to Dispel Sorrows" uses a quick and concise rhythm technique. The lyrics are mostly 8-10 word sentences. The structure and way of pronouncing words are repetitive, making it easy to sing but also "easy to fall asleep to".

The drop has a deep house feel, repeating for the second half of the song almost exactly like the first half. The beat of "Raise a cup of sorrow" can be considered okay, catchy, well mixed but not really special and is also commented as not being innovative, monotonous, similar to "Cặt đại nhớ sầu" - Tang Duy Tan's previous product.

Previously, the music products of the male singer born in 1995 were also evaluated by experts as having no clear climax, and the vocals were too simple. "Raising a cup to relieve sorrow" is not an exception.

Musician D.TS commented that the entire song sounded even, with a simple vocal range, no notes too low or too high, and no room for Bich Phuong to show off her voice. Mr. S. said that this product would be more suitable if Tang Duy Tan himself sang it due to the "thin" voice of the singer born in 1995.

On the reaction video, Streamer Virus also agreed with the above opinion. He also thought that Tang Duy Tan himself would be more suitable to perform "Raising a Cup of Sorrow" than Bich Phuong.

Bich Phuong's previous product "Guess What?" did not receive the expected success.

The climax of the song is an EDM drop and the repeated lyrics "Em muon nang chat tieu sau" using autotune to change the voice.

Therefore, with the musical color of Tang Duy Tan - Drum7's style, many people think that this song performed by any female singer would not change anything because it does not show Bich Phuong's mark.

Bich Phuong has not exploited properly, but wants to produce a safe product.

Some opinions say that with "Raise a cup of tea to relieve sorrow", it seems Bich Phuong wants to have a safe product with this comeback after 2 years of absence.

Fans are still waiting for a more breakthrough product from Bich Phuong in the future.

Many fans also commented on many social networking forums wondering if their idol ran out of money to top up the game so he had to "temporarily" release a new product to continue playing the game.

To evaluate "Nang chau tieu sau" as a whole, it is not a bad product but also not Bich Phuong's best. In this product, we can see a Bich Phuong who is not as outstanding as before, the music follows a "slightly commercial" formula, easy to go viral for short trends on social networking platforms.

However, for the audience, those who love Bich Phuong's music and unpredictable transformation, this creates a big disappointment. This time, music listeners no longer see Bich Phuong's boldness, freshness and unique personality.

That is the reason why "Raising a Cup of Sorrow" is considered to have overshadowed Bich Phuong's image, many people even commented that in this song she looks more like a "guest singer".

It can be seen that using Tang Duy Tan's viral formula for his recent hits was not effective for Bich Phuong, on the contrary, it made the audience feel that the female singer's performance was declining and "losing its quality".

However, this is still a remarkable product and makes the audience curious to see how Bich Phuong from "Raise a cup of sorrow" will continue to transform in the future with Bonghoaday Entertainment.
