The album marks the return of female singer Ngoc Khue with 8 musical works including: "Dragonfly", "By the pond at home", "Monsoon returns", "Dew drops fly up", "My grandmother", "The thread threading needle", "Passing the bridge of wind", "Stork".
Each song is a new mix with a very unique treatment, when listening, the audience will be able to touch, feel and experience the sound from the studio to the outside without any ripples. The audience will live in a musical space, where there is Ambient, Word Music, Trap, Hip-hop, Rap, Jazz...
The album was transformed convincingly by the magic hand of musician - Music Production Director Huy Ngo and the special combination of singer Ngoc Khue's father - painter, musician Pham Ngoc Khoi when he made the album cover and the inside publication like a work of art - watercolor.
The vinyl version has 2 (limited) versions, a purple version and a black version. According to Ngoc Khue, the vinyl project “Strolling” is like a new wind in preserving and developing, “giving wings” to the cultural beauty and values of national music to reach out to the international community.
Ngoc Khue’s perseverance and constant creativity are also recognized through songs that live forever. The album was cherished by the female singer 17 years after the “Sao Mai Diem Hen” contest and the audience can see Ngoc Khue’s interesting transformation in her “Stroll” with music.
With the combination of electronic music and Ambient, listeners seem to be lost in a musical space filled with flowers, leaves, and clear grass. The gentle, soothing melodies along with the delicately processed natural sounds create a vast and profound musical space.
Ngoc Khue, with her clear and emotional voice, has highlighted the rustic and pure beauty of each song in the album. Each note, each sound is like a dragonfly flying, gently touching the heart, bringing a feeling of relaxation and peace.
Ngoc Khue's voice in this album is meticulously and detailedly portrayed. Each note and each line clearly shows the singer's inner strength and unique personality. Not only that, the falsetto technique that Ngoc Khue uses in the album is like a separate instrument, bringing richness and creativity to the mix.
Still maintaining the characteristic clarity and sweetness, Ngoc Khue skillfully weaved through the characteristic notes of Bac Ninh Quan Ho folk songs. Her voice brought the audience into a familiar musical space but was painted more beautifully and sparklingly through the new arrangement. Ngoc Khue not only maintained the technique and emotion in each verse but also added sophistication and creativity.
The female singer also shared that most of her songs have received support from the audience. Ngoc Khue wishes to renew her songs because the treasure trove of folk and contemporary folk music is endless, so “as a contemporary folk singer, I will try to renew and turn the songs into cultural values of myself as well as of Vietnam.
