Ngoc Anh – Giet Nguoi Trong Mong
Ladies, pour yourself a glass of Cosmo. Gentlemen, make yourself a glass of gin and tonic. Kick back with Ngoc Anh’s first U.S. release, Giet Nguoi Trong Mong, under Thuy Nga production, and I guarantee that you won’t kill each other. In fact, you will make luscious love to Ngoc Anh’s sultry voice paying homage to classic ballads.
Instead of reinventing familiar songs, she just lets her sexy timbre seduce you. Right off the opening title track, she makes you wish you were the one that she wanted to murder. If voice could kill, hers is a flying dagger straight to your heart. On Hoang Trong Thuy’s “Doan Khuc Cuoi Cho Em,” you could feel the quiet fire in her delivery and the warm intimacy in every breath she takes. She has no problem maneuvering her smoky, steamy vocals around Nguyen Anh 9′s bluesy “Mua Thu Canh Nau.”
It doesn’t hurt to have Tuan Ngoc and Bang Kieu show up next to her. Her duet with Bang Kieu on Do Le’s “Sang Ngang” is a better fit than with Tuan Ngoc on Hoang Thi Tho’s “Mot Lan Cuoi.” It would have been even better if Bang Kieu handled the female part and Ngoc Anh handled the male part, but that’s just me. Still, Giet Nguoi Trong Mong is a classic good taste that matches with a classy singer.
Definitely Ngoc Anh’s Giet Nguoi trong Mong was perfect…
I really like Ngoc Anh covers of Phu Quang songs like Chieu khong Em, Khuc Mua thu, etc…
This cd has some good songs…but i get a bit bored and found it a bit monotonous..even songs Doan Khuc cuoi cho em, and Mua thu canh nau..i was not moved! And to combine Mot Minh with Em di roi…i think i prefer if Mot Minh was done on its own!
I like the last song on the cd though. First and last songs for me were the best of the cd.
“It would have been even better if Bang Kieu handled the female part and Ngoc Anh handled the male part, but that’s just me” All I know is that would have made life easier for Ngoc Anh since she wouldn’t have to shave her mustaches before putting on her make up :P
papillon, true that true that :) Bk wouldn’t need to save his mustaches either before putting on his evening gown.
She’s the best female voice I’ve heard in a long time. This CD is great.
Mình thì nghĩ ngược lại trong phần song ca, với Tuấn Ngọc trong “Một Lần Cuối” vẫn chiếm tính “đẳng cấp” hơn. Họ hát và có “nhường nhau” thì phải, tạo nên cảm xúc “vừa chín tới” cho một giọng hát đầy kinh nghiệm của Tuấn Ngọc và chất khàn (cộng thêm tư duy trường lớp khi còn ở Việt Nam) của Ngọc Anh.
Giai đoạn nửa cuối của năm 2009, Thuý Nga, họ có cho ra đời hai sản phẩm được gọi là dòng nhạc có lớp lang: Trần Thái Hoà (Tình Khúc Tiền Chiến) & Ngọc Anh (Giết Người Trong Mộng). Người ta dường như đã không nhắc nhiều về Trần Thái Hoà trong album này nữa vì cái này sẽ làm mờ cái kia. Theo mình, Album Ngọc Anh chỉ nhỉnh hơn với album của Trần Thái Hoà vì có quá nhiều yếu tố để nhỉnh hơn – nhất, đây là album riêng đầu tiên của Ngọc Anh tại Mỹ. Đồng ý rằng Ngọc Anh xuất sắc trong riêng nhạc phẩm “Giết Người Trong Mộng” – nhưng rõ ràng, toàn bộ album đi theo luống cày khá dễ dàng và an toàn – luống cày kiểu “bình cũ rượu mới”.
Gọn: Hãy sở hữu album này vì giọng hát Ngọc Anh hơn là 11 tracks/sáng tác mà chúng ta cần tìm tòi cái gì mới trong 11 sáng tác cũ đó – vì quả thật – không mới!
Love her. This is one of the best Vietnamese CD ever produce in US.
The moment I wake up, before I put on my make-up, I shave my little moustache for you….
That’s really sex, but Cat Tuyen is more of my type!
Is Cat Tuyen now 100% female or the type that John Water refers to as Chick with D***? Hey, different strokes for different folks LOL
Haven’t checked yet so I don’t know, but he/she looks damn fine to me like the one in “The Crying Game.” :)
You are spot on Donny. The CD cover pic of Ngoc Anh resembles the pic of the poster of the classic film The Crying Game very much. I think TN did another intellectual property theft like they did with the cd cover of LTQ, Thuy Tien and Luu Bich a few years ago. But I have to say this a fantastic CD from Ngoc Anh. Her voice and style in this CD is amazing. I have been listening to it every day for 2 weeks now. My favourite tracks are Giet Nguoi Trong Mong, Uot Mi and that incredible medley of Mot Minh / Em Di Roi. Highly mesmerising and seductive. Wow!!! What talent she has.
