“Fallen Angel - Live Session Studio” has not shown anything new from Bui Lan Huong. She is still struggling to assert her personal style.
After a period of silence, Bui Lan Huong suddenly returned to the music scene with Fallen Angel - Live Session Studio . The project was released on the singer's personal YouTube, consisting of 6 episodes corresponding to 6 songs in the debut studio album of the same name. Fallen Angel (2018).
Unfortunately, the singer born in 1989 has not brought many surprises to the audience. She is just repeating herself 5 years ago when she first entered the music industry.
Sing old songs again
Live Studio Session is a form of live recording technology, without editing, so that the audience can enjoy the music in the most authentic way. Thanks to that, the singer can also be more emotionally sublimated.
MV will have to invest a lot in the script and setting, in which the visual part plays an important role in elevating the song. Meanwhile, Live Studio Session focuses on the music. Live performance requires the singer to have good technique and control the voice as if singing on stage.
In Fallen Angel - Live Session Studio , Bui Lan Huong performs songs she composed herself. This is a smart move because she understands the spirit and content of the songs best.
The project opens with Confused – the song has been performed by Bui Lan Huong on many large and small stages. This is probably also the song that the singer is most passionate about in her career. In 2019, she released a rock version, a duet with Trac Ngoc Linh – a former member of the Microwave group. In addition, the female singer also released the Dream Pop and Tropical Remix versions.
In the following episodes, Bui Lan Huong continues to choose songs with catchy choruses such as Charm , Conflict , Vi vu … All the arrangements have been changed but the dreamy, soaring spirit of the original song remains.
In these remixes, drums, electric guitars and keyboards play an important role. However, the production is not too overwhelming but still humble enough to let Bui Lan Huong's voice shine.
Perhaps that is why the music is not really explosive, not able to push the song to a climax. In return, Bui Lan Huong is still successful in controlling the technique, more or less bringing emotions to the listener.
Although the music is important, the crew did not ignore the visuals. In each episode, Bui Lan Huong wears gorgeous, fashionable outfits that help to highlight her beautiful body. The band members wear black, matching the scene, also choosing a simple black tone.
Bui Lan Huong fumbled
After attracting attention at the Best Songs 2018 program, Bui Lan Huong released her debut album and received many conflicting opinions. Besides positive reviews, many audiences believe that the Hanoi-born singer is trying to pursue the dream pop genre, building the image of "Vietnamese Lana Del Rey".
To escape this prejudice, the female singer has tried to change herself in some products. Typically the MV Tomorrow I will be a memory when Bui Lan Huong sang pop ballad and removed the ghostly image. Unfortunately, the product did not create too much resonance, currently only reaching more than 2.5 million views even though it was released 2 years ago.
After that, she continued to perform some movie soundtrack songs such as The truth is broken in two (movie Blood Moon Party ), The Song of Kieu (movie Kieu ), White tea (movie Gai gia lam chieu V )… However, the products have not really helped Bui Lan Huong's name become prominent in the music industry. Last year, she was mainly known for playing the role of Khanh Ly in Me and Trinh .
As of now, The day before the storm (2018) is the most popular hit in Bui Lan Huong's career. The MV has reached more than 54 million views, the song has also been covered by many artists, helping her name become more widely known. However, this is a movie soundtrack song Immortal (Directed by Victor Vu) not an official product from Bui Lan Huong.
Before Fallen Angel - Live Session Studio , Bui Lan Huong once released MV Fairytale in September 2022 but did not receive much attention from the audience. Up to now, the MV has reached less than 600,000 views. This is a disappointing number for any singer, not to mention the product is also quite heavily invested.
The point is Fairytale brought Bui Lan Huong back to the mysterious image and soaring musical style that she created from her first album. It seemed that the female singer could only linger around this style, but still could not create a strong impact on the music market.
Presently Fallen Angel - Live Session Studio 4/6 episodes have been released but the audience response is not good. The highest achieving episode is Travel With over 136,000 views, the other episodes have not surpassed 100,000 views. This is more like a product created to give to fans, rather than conquering a new audience.
According to Bui Lan Huong, Fallen Angel - Live Session Studio is the opening project of 2023 with many plans. After that, the female singer will release her second album called Goddess of the Moon and organized the first live show of her career. But with this product, Bui Lan Huong has not really aroused curiosity about upcoming projects.
