Tuan Hung & Le Quyen – Nhu Giac Chiem Bao
On their latest collaborative effort, Nhu Giac Chiem Bao, Tuan Hung and Le Quyen share a dream: to belt out on the poppy, syrupy hits. Because of their raspy, authoritative vocals, the two have done rather well on the solo tracks. Le Quyen comes off bittersweet and sultry on Luong Bang Vinh’s “Dang Cay.” Likewise, Tuan Hung sounds sentimental and tormented on Hoang Trong Thuy’s “Doan Khuc Cuoi Cho Em.” As a duo, however, they aren’t quite compatible. On Tuong Van’s “Hanh Phuc,” they both sound bored and dreary. Because their voices share similar qualities, they don’t have enough contrast to complement each other. Yet what bring the album down aren’t their vocals, but the lackluster, mechanical productions.
HI Doanh,

Thanks for the review, I was actually considering getting this CD but I don’t think I will anymore.
And I think you should give Mai Khoi’s newest release – Mai Khôi sings Quốc Bảo – a try.. it’s pretty cool. I think you might enjoy it.
I love Le Quyen’s voice, but I really don’t like Vietnamese songs written after 1975 – I only know a handful that I like.
I wish they would put out another CD like “Mat Biet,” which was out 2-3 years ago.
Le Quyen is mesmerising in Dang Cay. Her voice perfectly captures the bittersweetness of love and there’s so much soul in her singing. This song is worth buying the CD.
