Mai Quoc Huy – Hanh Phuc Quanh Day
Listening to Mai Quoc Huy’s debut, Hanh Phuc Quanh Day, makes me want to strangle the shit out of that heartless bitch for him. In track one, she left his ass and the kid. In track two, she left his ass once again even though he has done nothing wrong. In track three, he finally realizes that it is time to part.
The drama gets worse as he reflects on the past. He talks to himself at night (Truc Phuong’s “Dem Tam Su”). Even the damn street he walks on carried her name (Truc Phuong’s “Con Duong Mang Ten Em”). Whenever he misses her (Hoang Mai and Thao Trang’s “Nho Nguoi Yeu”) or thinks of her (Ngoc Son’s “Nho Ve Em”), especially at the time when she was 15 (Hoang Phuong’s “Em Con Tuoi 15″), it brings back gloomy memories (To Thanh Son’s “Chut Ky Niem Buon”). Then he ends up drinking like a fish (Chau Ky’s “Tuy Ca”).
What would happen to him next is up the listeners to decide. The possibility is endless. He could drive, while under the influence, to the nearest Wal-Mart, cop a glock and blow his brain out. That way she’ll regret it for the rest of her life, and we all know she doesn’t give a damn.
Hanh Phuc Quanh Day has to be one of the most depressing albums to date. Mai Quoc Huy influenced by Che Linh so much that he could knock Truong Vu off the map and replace their god. Even if the king of “sen” Che Linh decides to retired, we will still hear his voice through his successors, and Mai Quoc Huy is the closest if not exact.

I think nhac “sen” is finished. By saying that i don’t mean it’s not good, I think what the older generation singers has explored and done most of it. Che Linh, Thanh Tuyen, Thanh Thuy, Huong Lan, Tuan Vu etc had set a high standards in nhac sen, and the younger singers always put their footsteps in the same direction. The same applies for the writers, and arrangements. Of course there will be and hopefully an exception.
Music has always changed through the eras and nhac sen is one phase of vietnamese music. But it is a long one as it is simple and easy to listen to. Also “addictive” to the general vietnamese population. Some of which would refuse to listen to any other styles. This tend to limit their acceptance of what’s new and what’s quality. It’s a viscious circle..he he
Respectfully disagree w/Lam Dien. Fewer good country singers. Quang Le numbers among the few. He listened to lots of non-sen songs growing up. He is a good stage performer, too. Like USA country and worldwide “country”, sen will always remain popular…partly b/c there are more “plain folks” than there are “us elitist”.
i saw Quang Le in a cd store buying Thanh Lam cd. hehe
Agree with Quan on this one. Nhac sen is not finished. It is still the most popular genre today, especially in the States. In addition to Quang Le, Truong Vu, Nhu Quynh, Tam Doan, Bang Tam, Ha Vy, Dang The Luan, Manh Quynh, Huong Thuy, Ha Phuong and Phi Nhung are all successful in this type of music. So I don’t think sen music is going anywhere anytime soon.
I’m waiting for a great nhac sen song. Something as good and popular as Giot le dai trang, Tuy Ca… Have not heard of any good new sen song for a long time.Perhaps you can suggest.
I don’t pay attention to that crap so I wouldn’t know :)
But if you go back to Truong Vu’s recent videos for Van Son. He got some really sen song from Hoang Nghia.
i agree that mai quoc huy will be a very good singer. but i disagree with the writer when he or she said Huy already knocked off Truong Vu, it will take a long time for Huy to do that or he might not have a chance to do it. now, Huy is not as famous as Truong vu. and some years later, who knows how famous truong vu would be? and how Huy would be? but whatever will happen, truong vu did a very great job in last ten years. I really appriciate that.
