Hien Nguyen Soprano confided that, for her, 15 years is a long, hard work with many difficulties. The female singer spends most of her time studying abroad, studying in a professional music environment. She is the rare opera singer who speaks fluent English, French and Italian. When returning home, Hien Nguyen chose for herself the path of semi-classical music, classical interference with the desire to bring classical music closer to the audience, bringing the quintessence she received from abroad back home. about dedication to the audience.
Therefore, it is easy to see that Hien Nguyen's singing style is technical but not difficult to listen to, especially in classic works like "Lavie en rose". On the contrary, the moderate use of technique, combined with the improvisation in the jazz band's arrangement, brings a romantic, gentle and delicate musical space.
This is evident in the Rhythm Trip concert that paved the way for the debut album "Love & Dream" released on June 19. Although it is an online concert, Hien Nguyen still provides a high-quality music space with jazz band-style mixes and live recording of the entire program.
However, there is still an interesting difference between the live version of this concert and the album. According to musician Tuan Nam - music director of both Rhythm Trip and the album "Yêu & Mơ": if the concert is comfortable and soft with the band's improvisational play, the album is stronger, "yes quality" Hien Nguyen with detailed calculations to highlight the voice and path of the female singer.
The album "Love & Dream" includes 8 songs: "Cỏ và mưa", "Ánh trăng kỷ niệm", "Mong manh tình về", "Những giấc mơ dài", "Nào biết nào hay", "Khi nàng yêu" ((original song Woman In Love), "Yêu anh dại khờ" (original Je Suis Malade), "Tình ngát xanh" (original song Caruso).
Especially, in this album, Hien Nguyen sings international songs in 4 languages Vietnamese, English, Spanish and Italian. However, not because of that, these songs are heavy, "puzzle" the listener, on the contrary, the audience can forget about the language problem and drop their soul into the classic songs that are renewed in a modern way. . These are also technically difficult songs that few singers in Vietnam put on their personal albums, but they are the "forte" land of Hien Nguyen.
Besides, Hien Nguyen showed an open mind when inviting female Diva My Linh and Oplus to duet two Vietnamese pop songs that were already very famous, "Grass and Rain" (with OPlus), "Long dreams". (with My Linh).
With their debut album, many singers often order new, personal songs. However, Hien Nguyen chose songs that were too classic, too famous both at home and abroad. Singing these songs again is not a small challenge if you want to have your own features and make an impression on the public.
When asked why he chose such a difficult path, Hien Nguyen very comfortably replied: "For me, whether it's an old song or a new song, it has its own charm. Each singer when performing. In my first album, I want to sing what is most familiar and most attached to during my long years of artistic activities, and it also partly shows the meaning of the path I am following. Pursuit: bringing the classic closer to the masses.
Besides, even though it's an old song, it requires the singer to master the rhythm and be able to change the way it handles. For me, refreshing classics has never been easy. It is a challenge for both the team and I believe, will bring a certain excitement to the audience when enjoying the album."
With "Love & Dream", Hien Nguyen Soprano shows that she is a female artist who is not afraid to explore and experiment and explore strange lands in music. Accompanied by an effort to refresh and soften his own style and forte to conquer many different musical genres, on the basis of his forte is opera.
