The song marks the reunion of the male singer with musician Pham Toan Thang after the imprint "April is my lie".
After a long time focusing on live performance stages and a series of live concerts, Ha Anh Tuan introduced a new personal MV called "Mot nam qua" (Over the past year). The release of a new song before the big concert has become a familiar custom in the male singer's musical journey, contributing to leading emotions and shaping the spirit for the upcoming performance space.
A Year Has Passed" marks the reunion between Ha Anh Tuan and musician Pham Toan Thang - a duo that has created many songs loved by audiences such as "April is your lie", "The girl we love" or "Reprint, I love you". Nearly a decade after the resounding success of "April is your lie", this return continues to evoke expectations for a love song with depth, touching familiar moments of silence in listeners' emotions.
Released at the close of a year of many upheavals, "Mot nam qua" does not place much emphasis on tragedy or resentment. The song opens with a gentle question: "What have you been like in the past year?", as a greeting for the old love, and also a dialogue with your own memories. Love in the song is no longer a starting or ending point, but becomes a fulcrum for people to learn to accept, give up and move forward.
Pham Toan Thang's music through Ha Anh Tuan's voice has familiar colors, rich in narration and moderation. The lyrics do not aim for dramatic climaxes, but focus on lingering emotions, where regret and understanding exist in parallel. This simplicity creates a persistent aftertaste for the song.
The MV "Mot nam qua" was made in Da Lat with black and white tones, also the venue for the "The Rose" concert. Under the hands of director Khanh Nguyen and Creative Director Cao Trung Hieu, Da Lat appears faint, slow and full of nostalgia.
