Releasing MVs at the same time, Son Tung M-TP and Bich Phuong were both commented to have "lost their form"?

This is not the first time Son Tung M-TP and Bich Phuong "encountered" each other when releasing MVs on the same day.

In 2018, the release of Son Tung's "Run Now" and Bich Phuong's "Love Spell" at the same time also became an interesting clash that received much attention from young music listeners.

"Us of the Future" has achieved many impressive achievements but has not really entered the hearts of the audience.

After 4 years, Son Tung M-TP has given an explanation for the open ending of the MV "We of the Present". Accordingly, "We of the Future" is the next part of a couple's unfinished love story with many regrets.

The male lead Son Tung tries to find the female lead Hai Tu in many different dimensions. Both have feelings in four parallel worlds, each place has a spring - summer - autumn - winter but none of them has a perfect ending.

Son Tung's new MV is also suspected of "borrowing" ideas from the movie "Eternal Sunshine of A Spotless Mind".

The final scene of the MV is an image of Son Tung holding Hai Tu's hand looking forward and the words "To Be Continued", promising that the story is not over and will be revealed in the future.

After a short time, the MV "We of the Future" achieved many good results, standing out among other products released at the same time. Not only did it explode domestically, the MV also entered the "top trending" of many countries around the world such as Canada, Singapore, Australia, Sweden...

The number of views on Son Tung M-TP's MV is still increasing thanks to the loyal fan base that continuously views it. However, the performance of this new product shows signs of declining compared to the singer's previous performance.

With this comeback, "We of the Future" has received much praise for its lyrics, and it can be seen that the male singer from Thai Binh has overcome the weakness of unclear singing. Many audiences commented that the song has maturity and a cheerful melody, containing a positive message.

However, some viewers commented that Son Tung's new song has disjointed lyrics, is picky about listeners, and has a melody that is difficult to create a hit. Many netizens also said that "We of the Future" has lyrics about the "old love" that has never been talked about between Son Tung and female singer Thieu Bao Tram.

Before the official MV was released, Youtuber Viruss reacted to Son Tung's Demo for the new song and commented that the harmony was a bit "similar" to the hit If You by Korean group Big Bang.

Besides, Hai Tu's appearance in the film is still not really outstanding. From the costume that is somewhat bland compared to the "muse" images that Son Tung posted on social networks to the awkward, unnatural acting that is much worse than "We of the present".

Son Tung's performance was also a hot topic of discussion on forums. At the beginning of the MV, Son Tung appeared in a black suit and his long hair was tied back. With this look, the male singer received a storm of compliments for his CEO aura combined with his handsome visual.

However, when "opening the door of time" to another world, viewers were surprised by the strange, somewhat "trendy" appearance and camera angles capturing Son Tung's awkward expression.

Therefore, the visual part of the MV has not been highly appreciated by the audience. Many viewers commented that the frame is forced, lacks emotion, the effects are fake and do not create feelings of regret for the viewers when the two main characters are separated.

Even the image of the MV "We of the Future" was compared by the online community to the "shopee" version of the famous science fiction film "Interstellar" by director Christopher Nolan.

Bich Phuong returns, marking a "new era" in her artistic career.

Choosing International Women's Day to release Raising Cups to Save Sorrows, Bich Phuong brings a message and image of feminism to her new product. Bich Phuong's new MV also marks a new journey after she left Tien Cookie's company.

Bich Phuong's new MV is the story of a girl on her journey to escape from a long-term relationship and old things in the past.

"Raise a Cup of Sorrow" is inspired by the classic movie Kill Bill. Bich Phuong fights alone with many different versions of herself to find herself.

The new product of the female singer born in 1989 was composed by Tang Duy Tan and Drum7, music production team DuongK. The song has a catchy melody and trendy rhythm. However, after watching, many viewers commented that this MV is "far inferior" to the MVs that Bich Phuong collaborated with Tien Cookie.

Many comments also said that "Raising Cups to Save Sorrows" has a similar composition style to previous products. The song uses some sounds that have appeared in Tang Duy Tan's previous hits, overusing drops, even using 1 drop repeated twice throughout the song, which does not highlight Bich Phuong's unique style.

Specifically, the drop "sầu sầu sầu sầu" makes many music listeners feel that "Nang chat tieu sau" has a melody no different from "Cat doi noi sau" - also composed by Tang Duy Tan.

Many people criticize this musician for making one-dimensional music, no different from the remix versions on Tiktok, causing Bich Phuong's musical color to be lost.

Bich Phuong's crew used professional cameras, used for filming movies for theaters and big music videos. The price of a camera is about more than 1 billion VND, not including the lens.

The highlight of the MV "Raise a cup to relieve sorrow" is the elaborate investment, with many creative camera angles. The MV was produced by the Antiantiart team and received countless compliments from the online community.

The female singer born in 1989 shared that the MV "Raising Cups to Drink Sorrows" is an emotional new beginning for her: "Everyone thinks that I have been in the profession for 10 years, there is nothing too new for Bich Phuong anymore. But when I do everything by myself, I still feel very confused and sometimes have difficulties. I feel lucky to have found suitable partners. In this project, what I want to say most is not the product, because the product itself contains everything I want to say."

On social networking sites, these two music products are receiving public attention with countless discussions and comparisons. Many people commented that although directly competing with Son Tung M-TP, Bich Phuong's new product is not inferior when it is carefully invested in from music, message to image.

Many comments say that the song "Raising a Cup of Sorrow" has a catchy melody, suits the tastes of young people, and will likely be used a lot on social platforms like Tiktok in the near future.

An account commented: "Son Tung's MV views are very high, but in terms of catchiness of the music, Bich Phuong's 'Raise a cup of sorrow' is more attractive. It is expected that the female singer's song will go viral on TikTok in the near future."

Agreeing, many others said: "Son Tung's new song is quite catchy from the first listen, but the MV is not up to par, there is no connection with the song. Meanwhile, Bich Phuong's MV is very elaborately invested in terms of both image and content."

Both newly released MVs by Son Tung and Bich Phuong have been carefully invested in as well as a massive media campaign many months in advance, showing the careful calculation of the two singers.

Although both Son Tung and Bich Phuong received many comments about their performance declining compared to previous projects, according to a synthesis of reputable international music data, after 24 hours of release, both products achieved impressive results.
