Recently, Bao Anh officially released the EP "Don't Know Should Be Happy or Sad" and the MV "Co she cua anh". Immediately after its release, the song "Co she cua anh" took the top 1 position on a series of digital music charts. However, this product later sparked controversy because there were suspicions that the female singer's team plagiarized the music. Is that true?
Besides attracting audiences with its gentle, deep melody and Bao Anh's emotional voice, "She of Him" also faced some suspicions of "borrowing" ideas from some Chinese songs from the online community.
On the evening of May 23, musician Kai Dinh spoke up about this issue and shared details about the music production process for the song "She's His".
Kai Dinh expressed on his personal page: “I want to share a personal opinion: Chinese music is very good... but that does not mean that every song with an Asian melody is 'borrowed' from Chinese music, not every song with lyrics that use many metaphors is 'borrowed' from Chinese music's lyrics."
Kai Dinh said that the musician completely respects the personal feelings of each audience, observing and listening to every feedback to improve himself more and more. According to Kai Dinh, the idea for "She of Him" originated from the desire to write and produce for Bao Anh a 6/8 song with the characteristic harmony of classical music.
Although the lofi music space is quite popular in the world and in Vietnam, there are not many songs with 6/8 rhythm combined with this space, so "She of Him" is one of the first original 6/8 rhythm songs produced in the lofi space in Vietnam.
"The melody of this song starts with one of the classic melodic motifs and is developed linearly to meet two criteria: Easy to remember and suitable for Bao Anh's most beautiful vocal range. The formula that I use a lot in the melody development of this song is to continuously repeat the motif chains in each segment, from verse, to pre, to chorus.
This helps listeners receive the melody more easily, because the notes in the scale that Kai uses have a lot of sharps and flats. If developed with too many motifs, it will be confusing and difficult to remember for the average listener," he said.
In addition, when talking about the lyrics, the male musician added: "The lyrics are one of the parts that I like the most. Because Bao Anh shared that she really likes the song 'The Saddest Thing' which I composed and produced, the musician wanted to try to reuse the method used when writing the lyrics for 'The Saddest Thing', which is the repetition technique and if you listen to it once, you will feel confused about the meaning. That's why there is a part: 'She is now my she. My she is not you now. I always had her by my side, it's just that now you can't be her anymore'".
Kai Dinh revealed that the production team worked together and edited 18 different versions of the song "She's His".
Kai Dinh said that the entire idea of the EP "Don't Know Should Be Happy or Sad" is based on Asian colors. Not Chinese - Japanese - Korean music, nor Vietnamese, not specifically any country, but Asian colors in general.
