After the success of her debut album "U thi em chong", singer Khanh Thy - Third Prize "Hanoi Singing Voice 2023" returned to Vol.2 - collecting 11 love songs reminiscent of youth, nostalgia and gentle hidden corners in the souls of women.
Explaining why she did not name the new album, Khanh Thy said that she did not want to "play outstandingly" but simply wanted each listener to call her name with their own emotions. For me, this is a tribute to those who have loved, gone through the misty seasons of memories and music - Khanh Thy shared.
The Vol.2 album ranges from the immortal works of the golden generation of musicians such as Minh Ky, Lam Phuong, Truong Sa, Anh Bang to the contemporary compositions of Duc Tri, Viet Anh, Phan Manh Quynh, Hamlet Truong.
This not only brings diversity in music but also shows Khanh Thy's desire to connect many generations of audiences, from deep lyrical music lovers to young audiences looking for novelty and closeness.
Each song is like a slice of memories, connected by a warm, gentle, powerful voice that is unique in the Vietnamese music market.
This second album of Khanh Thy is a combination of deep love songs and beautiful melodies about her hometown of Da Lat - which has shaped the female singer's emotions, both in life and artistic activities.
What is easily seen in the album Vol.2 is Khanh Thy's emotional control and technical maturity. She sings not to "exalt her voice", but to tell the story through her breath, through the light of memories.
Notably, Khanh Thy's production team for this album has maintained the seamlessness and high aesthetics in the harmony. The arrangements are processed machally, modernly, without overusing electronics but still carrying a contemporary breath, thanks to the skillful mix'master technique. Among the classical lyrical music classes, still the warmth of Jazz, Pop and Acoustic can be seen - creating a close and luxurious listening space.
Khanh Thy Vol.2 is not a market album, but an album for those who seek sophistication in Vietnamese music - where technique, emotions and style blend naturally like breath.
All 11 songs in the album were invested by Khanh Thy to film an MV - something quite rare in Vietnamese music production today, especially for a young artist. The synchronization between music and image shows the singer's seriousness, respect for the audience and long-term strategy in the artistic path.
Originating from the "Hanoi Singing Voice 2023" contest of Hanoi Festival, with a solid technical foundation, Khanh Thy possesses a youthful, pure voice but is profound enough to handle passionate lyrical songs.
Her singing voice is considered to have its own color, both soft and sweet, and has a strong emotional intensity, creating a clear difference compared to many young singers of the same generation.
However, Khanh Thy said that she did not choose to follow the simple market music genre, but had a clear orientation for a sustainable artistic path, building her personal mark on a truly authentic music platform.
