In the album's preface, Trinh Minh Hien shared: "A little girl holding a bright violin in the International Photo Studio next to Hoan Kiem Lake, that's me in the winter of 1987.
Hanoi drifted through my childhood, through many seasons I lived and loved, with each grain of emotional "air". That witness has been nurturing me since when, so that the Hanoi in the songs I write often evokes many memories, lingering as if I had to leave, then rushing to return.
Maturity is when we encounter the final layer of emotions, of nostalgia called Hanoi, Hanoi .
The album's representative image is a girl, wearing a red ao dai, holding a violin, leading people to Hanoi, to love Hanoi, to feel Hanoi. These are not the usual directions in terms of place names, but emotional directions, evoked by stories, special images of Hanoi.

In the album, many songs do not mention Hanoi but sing Hanoi. The feeling of Hanoi is strong, but also very simple.
Sharing his feelings about the album, musician Nguyen Vinh Tien said: "Perhaps the tree has been nurturing for many days to give sweet fruits to life. I continue to be fascinated with Hanoi Hanoi, with the sweet voice of Tung Duong. Mother lulls the leaves with the powerful and soulful voice of Thanh Lam. And also the very playful features of the "childish woman" Ngoc Khue in Oh the power outage...
The album as a whole is Trinh Minh Hien. His musical personality and talent have shaped him as an author. I believe in my intuition, and the girl in the daisy field is still there, still full of personality, continuing to walk the streets of Hanoi. Discovering and portraying new and charming perspectives...".
The collection of songs in the album Hanoi Hanoi Vol.1 by musician Trinh Minh Hien is a collection of old and new recordings with 4 outstanding voices - Hanoians singing about Hanoi.
They are People's Artist Thanh Lam, singers Tung Duong, Ngoc Khue and Ha Linh. With an album dedicated to Hanoi, as soon as he had the idea to make this album, Trinh Minh Hien thought that he had to invite artists who understand and love Hanoi.
