On August 2, 2001, Thuy Nga proudly released PARIS BY NIGHT 60 - “That Tinh” marking the 2nd of their ever popular song ca videos. Emerging from the stage was a fresh face making his Paris By Night debut with Truc Quynh with Duc Huy’s romantic ballad “Xin Mot Ngay Mai Co Nhau.” That seemingly shy young man was Tran Thai Hoa. Although he may not have immediately grabbed the audience’s attention, he did make an impression with his reserved nature, charming good looks, and resonant deep vocals. He would garner more support and admiration for his inspiring vocals of Pham Duy’s “Duong Em Di,” his first solo performance on Paris By Night 61. In the winter of 2001, Thuy Nga released Paris By Night 62 - “Am Nhac Khong Bien Gioi” and if you hadn’t noticed Tran Thai Hoa before, everything changed after this DVD. He won over the audience with his incredible rendition of Hoang Quy’s classic “Co Lang Gieng.” The new jazzy arrangement combined with Tran Thai Hoa’s deep vocals and meticulous emotions brought something new to this well-known song. Ever since then, Tran Thai Hoa has been a staple on the Paris By Night stage. Although he may not have the most extravagant and elaborate performances, for Tran Thai Hoa, the music and the lyrics of the song have always taken center stage. He is able to convey the emotions expressed by each song, he narrates the stories, he takes on the role and viewpoint of the characters from within each song, and he takes the audience on a journey of happiness, love, and despair. He has an uncanny ability to bring the words on the pages to life. He has time and time again proven his resiliency and consistency as a singer and performer.
Tran Thai Hoa’s collaboration with Thuy Nga has also been an important milestone, because through their efforts, they have been able to reintroduce to the younger audiences the classic and foundational songs of the Vietnamese music library. Every new generation needs someone to carry on the torch of Vietnamese music, and Tran Thai Hoa is definitely one of the torch bearers for this generation. He has brought to life classics such as “Co Lang Gieng,” “Ao Anh Sut Chi Duong Ta,” “Co Bao Gio Em Hoi,” “Dem Dong,” “Ha Trang,” and many others. In the past 6 years, Tran Thai Hoa has proudly released 5 solo CDs (Co Lang Gieng, Coi Vang, Dem Dong, Tinh Khuc Le Uyen Phuong, Nhung Tinh Khuc Chon Loc), 1 duet CD (Khac Khoai-Buon Tan Thu with Ngoc Ha) along with many other collaborated compilation CDs. With over 100 recordings for Thuy Nga in the past 6 years, Tran Thai Hoa has definitely made an imprint on everyone’s heart.
This week, Thuy Nga releases Tran Thai Hoa’s 6th solo album “Bao Gio Biet Tuong Tu.” The album contains 12 very reflective and intimate songs. You can tell that the song selection for this album was chosen very meticulously and carefully. All the songs show off Tran Thai Hoa’s amazing vocals and showcases his incredible ability to inject emotions and passion in his voice. It is no secret that Tran Thai Hoa’s songs are not as main stream, perhaps some would call it very selective. However, if you take the time and carefully listen to his vocals, diction, and phrasing, you will get chills running up your spine. I listened to this album first while I was driving home tonight and then again while sitting in a secluded room, closed my eyes and allowed my mind to drift in the path of the song. There’s just something about his voice that’s able to transport your soul, something that makes your heart skip a beat, and something that makes you feel a bit more despair. I can honestly say that Tran Thai Hoa’s “Mot Minh” (Lam Phuong) is one of my favorite versions ever. In fact, I shed a tear listening to it. The lyrics and music to that song are spectacular in its own right, but adding on Tran Thai Hoa’s soothing vocals of narration, and you feel that such a definite sense of loneliness. Through this CD, Tran Thai Hoa has brought new life and character into some of Vietnamese music's most classic pieces including "Rung Rung Le," or "Cuoi Cung Cho Mot Tinh Yeu." If you've ever wondered what a beautiful painting would sound like, you have to listen to Tran Thai Hoa's stunning poetic and lyrical delivery of Ngoc Bich's "Tro Ve Ben Mo."
You will be uplifted by the the message of Nguyen Trung Cang's "Nang Ha." As I was listening, I was so moved by the song and inspiration of the words. Nguyen Trung Cang's music always carries a message of hope for the future, and triumph through adversity; this song is no exception. Pay close attention to the lyrics of the song and allow Tran Thai Hoa to unravel and awaken your soul.
The ending track in this album is "Huong Moc Lan." I love the inclusion of the traditional instruments as the melody of this song has a Chinese-esqe quality to it. This will be a pleasant surprise for Tran Thai Hoa's fans. If you've never experienced Tran Thai Hoa's story telling ability through music, you must listen to this song. Listen to his ability to retell this love story and feel the undeniable romanticism and passion in his voice.
This CD has been longly awaited by many fans and I’m so happy to say that it doesn’t disappoint. I thoroughly enjoyed this CD immensely and it ranks up there as one of my favorite Tran Thai Hoa CDs. As we celebrate the release of this CD, I think we should also mention that in a few weeks when PBN 90 is released, it will also mark Tran Thai Hoa’s 30th appearance on Thuy Nga. That is something definitely worth noting and something that should be acknowledged. Not many singers can claim this great honor. Just for fun...let’s travel back in time and revisit Tran Thai Hoa’s Paris By Night performances. Congratulations Anh Hoa for another great CD, and thank you for making the music world better and more diverse these past 6 years. We all wish you the best as you continue down your musical journey.
