Singer returns, strong refresh

Many singers have returned after a long absence, almost everyone has renewed themselves in this comeback.

When Bui Anh Tuan returned with Trung Quan with the product "I Do" on the music race on Valentine's Day 2025, the audience was surprised and excited. Because, for quite a while, Bui Anh Tuan seemed to have disappeared.

A promise from... 10 years ago

"I Do" is the first music product marking the collaboration of Trung Quan and Bui Anh Tuan after many duets on stage. This song also paved the way for the BUI music EP of the two male singers. Not only proving their appeal through their distinctive voices, the maturity in their performance and the delicate handling of the two male singers have created a unique mark for the song. In particular, the harmony at the climax of Trung Quan and Bui Anh Tuan brings explosive moments, fully depicting the spirit of the song.

"The MV "I Do" or EP BUI that is about to be released is not simply a music product but also marks a promise from more than 10 years ago, when Trung Quan and Bui Anh Tuan started to be close friends. The two promised each other as well as the audience that they would collaborate on an official product, not just duet songs on stage" - Trung Quan shared.

Trung Quan further revealed that he initially only intended to make a single music product, the song "I Do". However, after working together, both Trung Quan and Bui Anh Tuan had many new ideas. The two decided to make a music EP called BUI with a total of 4 songs, which has just been released.

Returning after a long absence, singer Ho Quynh Huong calls herself a "young singer" and hopes to receive support and encouragement from the audience. In her position, the title "young singer" is just a joke on the day of her comeback after more than 10 years of stopping singing. But even though it is a joke, that "young" is also true in many ways. Looking at the general market, with the next generation of audiences, there are many people who do not know or rarely listen to Ho Quynh Huong's music. She has been "hibernating" for too long, so when she returns, everything is new from the way she performs, promotes products to the race on the charts, top trending on YouTube...

Singer Phuong Thanh is the same, she always calls herself a young singer with the enthusiasm of a true young person. Phuong Thanh's "advantage" over other young singers is probably her experience and decades of working experience. And the self-reputation that she or singer Ho Quynh Huong already have. But that does not mean everything will be easier.

Find ways to renew yourself

The talents of "Anh trai vu ngan cong gai 2024" all admit that they have changed a lot since participating in the program. The change in temperament or finding the motivation to return to their passion for art is not as good as each person finding an opportunity to return. If a few individuals (very few) still retain their appeal, most of the names are on the other side of fame after a long time of making an impression in the music market. Therefore, the rebirth of many talents is truly priceless.

To be fair, it is difficult for an individual to have shows watched by tens of thousands of viewers like the live concert "Anh trai vu ngan cong gai 2024". When putting the program aside, each talented individual will also struggle with their comeback path when there are many obstacles ahead. Not everyone has the ability to integrate with the unpredictable changes and fluctuations of the Vietnamese music market as well as the taste of the audience. But one thing is for sure, if they are still determined and really diligent, their return after hibernation will also have many advantages.

Singer Hoang Hai said he is not afraid that few young audiences recognize or know him, because he has not appeared for more than 10 years. After participating in the show "The Mask Singer - The Mask Singer" season 2, Hoang Hai released the MV "The Only Answer" and in 2025 will continue to carry out other projects, maintaining regular activities. "Only diligence will be remembered by many young audiences" - singer Hoang Hai expressed.

Singer Ngoc Khue, who was once famous for "Chuon chuon ot", "Cap ba la", "Ba toi", "Giot suong bay len"... will also return this year when preparing to release a new album, collaborating with producer Huy Ngo. She revealed that this album will not completely reshape, but continue the story of unfinished works from the past. To keep up with the current music flow, the female singer will write lyrics and rap in some songs.

On the day of their comeback, once-famous singers all find ways to renew themselves, adapting to the market. Like Pham Khanh Hung, after marking his return with covers of past hits, he recently sang his new composition after 15 years. In the song "Turn Left, Turn Right" introduced by Pham Khanh Hung, he collaborated with a young rapper to give his music a new color, avoiding boredom.

Singer Phuong Linh (Sao Mai Diem Hen) returned after a long time and became a popular singer covering Chinese songs with Vietnamese lyrics. Or Dang Khoi returned with the album "Ong co noi visual", including 8 songs. According to the male singer, the album title is like a humorous way of talking about his age, that even though he is in his 50s, he still looks young. Khoi confided: "When I stopped singing for so long, I thought my passion had cooled. But thanks to the program "Anh trai vu ngan cong gai", I was able to stand on stage and hear the cheers of the audience. I know my love for music is still there".

Musician Duong Khac Linh believes that for singers who have had a long break in their careers, the decision to return is not simple because the Vietnamese music market has changed. During their absence, many new generations of artists have appeared and received media attention. Along with that, a new generation of audiences has also formed with modern and new tastes.
