The 5th episode of the music program "Love in the bay" by FPT Play in collaboration with Ambassador Cruise features Hong Nhung and Bui Cong Nam.
Collaborating with Bui Cong Nam for the first time, Hong Nhung commented that her junior was open-minded in his singing style and tried to challenge himself in each song.
“Many of Nam’s songs are really cute, composed from the perspective of a young person,” Hong Nhung said. To her, modern music best represents the outlook on life and the soul of today’s youth. Therefore, being able to sing young music with young artists is something Hong Nhung feels lucky about.
At "Time Crossroads", the diva brings a series of songs that are associated with her name such as "By Your Side is the Wide Sea", "Sea of Memories", "Still Singing Love Words", "Cat Bui".
Meanwhile, Bui Cong Nam felt pressured when he was assigned a song by the late musician Trinh Cong Son written specifically for "Miss Bong" - Hong Nhung's intimate nickname.
When singing "Bong is not Bong", Bui Cong Nam added a self-composed part for Hong Nhung and received many compliments from the "beautiful sister".
Hong Nhung keeps up with modern music trends through her two children Tom and Tep. She said that her two children have studied music for 8 years so they have a certain understanding of music and how to play musical instruments.
“Thanks to my two children, Hong Nhung is not left behind by what is happening in the music market. Their statements and comments surprised me and made me realize that I have a lot to learn from young people,” the singer confided.
Sharing about her current life, Hong Nhung is enjoying happiness with her 2 children and her foreign boyfriend Gerhard Heusch, a German architect. Hong Nhung and her boyfriend have many common interests in life, art and sports.
The singer feels lucky that her two children grew up close to Gerhard Heusch as a father. He not only taught Hong Nhung's two children how to ride horses, ski, and play sports, but also guided them in life skills, helping them become more independent.
As for Bui Cong Nam, he made great strides after participating in "Anh trai vu ngan cong gai". From a musician behind many big hits, he demonstrated his ability to sing, dance, and play musical instruments.
Bui Cong Nam admitted that he also felt pressure when working with Hong Nhung: “I always think about how to perform well when working with her, especially when singing songs that are very familiar to audiences of many generations. However, right from the first meeting, Hong Nhung was very delicate and cute. She made me feel comfortable when working with her.”
During the interaction with the audience, the male singer admitted that he had gone through a period of time feeling lost and locking himself in his room.
Behind many famous songs such as "Tet nay con se ve", "Co khong luu mat dung tim", "Lam gi co ai thuong em nhu the", "Di ve nha", Bui Cong Nam believes that each song he composes has its own story and the artist performing it will attach it to their personal story and emotions to send to the audience. Meeting the right person, with the right fate, the song will become a hit.
“Now being known and loved by more audiences is the motivation for me to compose more new songs, especially focusing on creating hits for myself,” he confided.
The full harmony between diva Hong Nhung and singer Bui Cong Nam will be shown in 4K quality at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 5 on FPT Play.
