After releasing the MV "Ikigai" with Bich Phuong's participation, Tang Duy Tan's team mistakenly posted an unmastered audio version. As a result, he had to temporarily hide the product for editing.
Half a year ago, news of Tang Duy Tan and Bich Phuong dating spread all over social media. At that time, there was even information that the two were living together. The news caused a stir but the people involved kept quiet.
Putting aside their love story, Tang Duy Tan and Bich Phuong responded to the audience with musical products. After Raising a cup to drown their sorrows , the two continued to collaborate on the newly released album titled Garden of love Includes 10 music tracks by Tang Duy Tan. Not only does he contribute his voice to the theme song Ikigai , Bich Phuong also appeared in the MV.
Product of Tang Duy Tan but very Bich Phuong
This album of Tang Duy Tan can be said to be a comeback filled with Bich Phuong's image, from music, images to the promotion process. "Finally, Bui Bich Phuong has come out to Tang Duy Tan. Congratulations", is the post introducing the MV from Bao Anh, while Hoa Minzy, when helping her junior share this product, wrote: "Tang Duy Tan and Bich Phuong are so compatible". The ambiguous introductions about a relationship that has caused curiosity and discussion for many months have helped the MV Ikigai thereby attracting more attention.
At the press conference held on the afternoon of October 28, Bich Phuong did not appear, but a series of questions still revolved around her relationship with the male singer 6 years younger. When asked directly about the relationship with Bich Phuong, Tang Duy Tan replied: "Ms. Phuong and I are colleagues who play together, have the same energy, so we cooperate and help each other. Before that, I supported her in Raise a cup to drown your sorrows Then this time she supported me." Also on October 28, Bich Phuong shared Tang Duy Tan's MV and wrote: "A little contribution is called a light embellishment, please everyone listen."
Letting the public focus on the name Bich Phuong could be a “double-edged sword” for Tang Duy Tan’s comeback. It helps the audience know about the product but can also overshadow the musical material. And indeed, on social networks, the audience is discussing Bich Phuong’s appearance next to Tang Duy Tan the most.
Meanwhile, MV Ikigai reached 136,000 views after about 14 hours of posting. This number is relatively high compared to the general level of the music market, but with the existing heat of a hit maker like Tang Duy Tan plus the appearance of Bich Phuong, the achievement is expected to be higher than that.
Tang Duy Tan is both familiar and strange.
Album Garden of love, As Tang Duy Tan shared, it contains all the emotional states of the male singer over the past years, there is happiness, there is sadness, there is day, there is night, there is white and there is black. There are songs for young people in love, there are songs for the 7X-9X generation so the pitch is low, easy to listen to, easy to understand. There are even songs for Tang Duy Tan's parents. However, the product continues to be commented that there is not much difference between the songs, even quite monotonous.
In response to this opinion, Tang Duy Tan explained that this time he did not feel as much pressure as before when releasing the album. He also did not expect to have a hit. Tang Duy Tan affirmed that the album was the result of days of "indulging emotions without any interference of will".
He also explained: “If I wrote songs that were 100% my own, I would definitely have very few listeners. But in this profession, I believe that I have to contribute something, not just express my own ego. I don’t use social media much, I only speak up when I really need to, so the need to express myself is very little.”
Back to the theme song Ikigai , with this product, Tang Duy Tan tried a structure he had never tried before. Starting with Tang Duy Tan's verse 1, then the hook, Ikigai gradually moving to Bich Phuong's verse and repeating Tang Duy Tan's verse before coming to the hook. The product has a different color but also has Tang Duy Tan's style. There, the audience still sees a familiar Tang Duy Tan in the way of melody, sad lyrics describing a haunting love when having to separate but not too tragic.
“ The day you left, I still thought the pain would soon fade / But all that time still couldn't forget your name / And I thought, there would come a time when that river would dry up / The sun would erase your name, but unfortunately there were dark clouds / You left me halfway here at the waterfall / Eyes lost in the sound of falling rain ”, the chorus of Ikigai It is a simple sentence but still has an interesting, beautiful comparison that can easily go viral on social networks.
Regarding the way he handles the song, Tang Duy Tan keeps the singing style simple, concise, decisive, without too many vibratos. However, the controversial point is Ikigai monotonous, lacking climax in both melody and voice of the 2 singers. Even Bich Phuong's singing part is quite faint and bland. The music is like Ikigai It can create a feeling of relaxation, gentleness, even "addiction" after a few listens, but at first, it is difficult to impress the audience.
After that, Tang Duy Tan spoke up to explain that because of the unfortunate mistake, the audio file in the MV that everyone heard was the original, unprocessed sound. “The voice that everyone heard was the original voice right after recording and temporarily set Tan's vocal EQ to Phuong's voice, so that's why everyone saw that the two voices were so similar. I apologize with folded hands. This seriously affects the music listening experience, so Tan would like to temporarily hide the MV to process it or will re-upload it tonight,” he said.
MV part of Ikigai is also simple and that is Tang Duy Tan's intention with the intention of focusing on the main character and the song's emotions. A simple but sophisticated MV is what the male singer is aiming for in this comeback. Ikigai Interweaving 2 frames, between the boy Tang Duy Tan and the person he loves Bich Phuong. Both frames use the color blue to create a cold, lonely feeling, just like the song's emotions.
