The MV "Finding Love" is connected to MONO's previous products, showing that the singer is trying to renew and assert himself to escape the label of 'Son Tung M-TP's younger brother'.
MONO MV release Looking for love at noon on August 27, up to now it has received more than 280,000 views. This is a rather modest number for a young singer who is currently a hot topic in Vietnamese music.
MONO renews itself
In this product, MONO brings in funky, pop colors, popping dance and locking dance to create a vibrant party space.
In particular, MONO dances the real popping and locking dance and considers it as a material for the MV, unlike many artists who borrow the scent and flowers to add this dance to increase the strangeness of the product.
These are also two dance genres that MONO loves, bringing a refreshing spirit, creating rhythm for the audience to watch. Even if sitting still, many people will still sway gently to the music.
Through Looking for love , MONO wants to bring positive, humorous energy to the love story that has been a "headache" for those who are looking for their other half.
MONO is still struggling
MV Looking for love shows MONO's efforts to assert itself after the album 22 , EP Beautiful, Waiting for you, I am… This is noteworthy.
However, the product still could not help MONO "pop" after the hit. You are beautiful was popular at the end of last year.
In the song In Looking for Love , MONO has made progress in writing lyrics, not as cheesy as before.
The story of a person looking for love in the song makes listeners feel happy and cute. There are even trending lines like: "I just keep looking for love/… Then I took a bus all the way to Bac Lieu/ I ran out of money to spend/ But still no one loves me".
Or "Running from North to South/ But not seeing any girl/ Hurrying back to the old place/ Looking for an old friend to say hello/ But you already have a husband/ Shocked... Oh baby, my heart aches"...
However, the bass running throughout the whole song is quite heavy, making it feel a bit boring. The music, especially the electronic music like "swallowing" MONO's vocals (which need a lot of improvement).
The song as a whole is a bit confusing, the parts don't flow together smoothly. Overall, the collaboration between MONO and 2pillz @S•HUBE lacks highlights, and in some ways is even a step backwards for the singer.
Onionn is probably a safer and better choice, helping MONO to reduce the shortcomings as the two have cooperated together before.
However, Onionn's mark was too strongly associated with his brother Son Tung M-TP in the early stages, so perhaps in this product, MONO and the crew wanted to calculate a different problem?
Commenting on the new MV, besides compliments like "so cute" and "so adorable", many viewers complained because they couldn't hear what MONO was singing.
Some people even said that "the two brothers Son Tung M-TP seem to consider this a style, when singing, the audience listens and looks for subtitles at the same time".
"Music is one thing, lyrics are another, can't appreciate it", "There's only one Son Tung", "Music is so boring", "MONO is cute but the music is not good"... are comments from the audience.
