Elvis Phuong: Musician Pham Duy wants me to sing this song every time I return to Vietnam.

At the launch event held at Ho Chi Minh City Book Street on the afternoon of April 19, famous singer Elvis Phuong shared many memories, most notably with the late musician Pham Duy.

Being the first person to perform Ao anh sut chi duong tap when musician Pham Duy had just finished composing it, as well as performing it on his first return to the country in 2000, this song has a special role in Elvis Phuong's career.

He said that in the past, when the musician asked him if he would sing the song "Ao anh sut chi duong ta " in Vietnam, he replied: "That song is too hard to sing, dad!". So the musician demanded to hear it live. Elvis Phuong shared that every time he sang it, he was both moved by the story in the song and... "stressed" because musician Pham Duy had requested that he perform this song every time he returned to the country.

Therefore, the song is indispensable in the newly released USB collection, a collection of 22 songs that left a special mark in his career. We will see there from the first Vietnamese song he performed on stage, Midnight Outside the Street (Truc Phuong) to the song series Phuong Hoang by two friends Nguyen Trung Cang and Le Huu Ha.

In addition, immortal works by Pham Duy, Song Ngoc, Lam Phuong, Tram Tu Thieng, Nguyen Anh 9, Tran Quang Nam ... are also included. Not stopping there, songs composed by Elvis Phuong himself such as Chieu thu Paris, Got hong thoi het phieu du, Loi hen uoc are also indispensable.

Sharing the reason for making the product in this format, he said: "There are many people who need to listen to music using USB, such as in the car...; so I have carefully selected some of the songs that I like the most at this time. I hope that everyone will accept them so that Elvis Phuong will have the motivation to make the next USBs in the future!".

The male singer confided that he also hesitated and thought carefully when editing the music for the album himself because the number of hits in his singing career was quite a lot, so choosing 22 songs to include in the album was quite... a headache.

The special thing about this collection is that besides the songs that marked his name, he also re-recorded songs that he had not sung for a long time, such as Tay Trang Tay Den by musician Anh Son. Therefore, it can be said that this is an album that is both old and new, because even the familiar hits are newly arranged.

He revealed: "I have very young fans, so I have to balance the new and the old in this album. The strength of an 80-year-old person is not the same as that of a 20-year-old person, but for Elvis Phuong, as long as he can sing, he is confident and proud. I really hope that the audience will welcome this USB album!"

In recent years, the male singer has continuously released new products such as music albums, books, and performances at home and abroad... Sharing about his positive life motto, he said: "Singing, recording, writing, even listening to old songs or listening to new songs, watching movies, reading books makes me feel busy every day. That's what makes life fun! I'm not bored yet, so I'm still enthusiastic and eager at this age. With Elvis Phuong, it seems like every day I'm more enthusiastic and still very passionate about my job. It's not that I'm workaholic, but the important thing is that music and related things are like breathing. I don't know when I'll get bored, but right now, today, I'm not!"
