Singer Xuan Nhi: The Tiger Album illuminates the value of 'love'

Recognizing the Tiger Album as a meaningful and exciting project, Xuan Nhi decided to audition for the role of the singer performing the song 'Thuong Cop' within the Album. For her, this is both a musical opportunity and a chance to gain new perspectives on life's values. 

Possessing a clear, powerful voice; Xuan Nhi expresses the depth of her soul through sacred music artworks, along with songs about love and life. Graduating from the Academy of Journalism and Communication, Xuan Nhi has participated in performing in music programs such as: the art program "Rear and Frontline" (live broadcast on VTV8), the closing ceremony art program of the National Beach Tennis Cup VTV8,...; participated in recording the music album "Kinh Chuyen Phap Luan" composed by musician Le Minh Son,... which helped Xuan Nhi have more opportunities to hone her artistic qualities. With all the talent and experience that has been honed, Xuan Nhi participates in the Tiger Album project, spreading her voice and fully expressing the emotions of the work "Thuong Cop".

A wonderful fate helped Xuan Nhi find the casting call for the Tiger Album project, which also became the connection between her and the entire team behind the album. Receiving comments and feedback from the album's author and musicians, Xuan Nhi gained more confidence in her performance, and this was also the turning point for her to officially collaborate with the Tiger Album project. 

Album Tiger is inspired by the fairy tale "Tri khon cua ta day" (Part 2).

Let's listen to Xuan Nhi's shares when participating in the Tiger Album! 

Hi Nhi, can you share how you found the casting information for the Tiger Album project with all our readers? 

Greetings, readers. Quite by chance, I saw the casting information that day in a group searching for music performance groups and bands in Hanoi. After researching the issuing unit and the project's content and meaning, I decided to fill out the application form and submit my registration. Partly, I found the project meaningful; partly, I wanted to test whether my voice suited the musical material they were looking for. 

When receiving the notification of passing the preliminary round to enter the live casting round, what did Xuan Nhi prepare for this casting? 

I prepared as meticulously as possible, from song selection to attire. I remember that day was a beautiful Sunday morning, and I auditioned live with the song 'Hello Vietnam,' which, to me, is a song that showcases a beautiful vocal range. Next, I sang the song 'Thuong Cop' from the album, which the organizers had sent me a week prior for self-practice. Everything went quite smoothly, and my impression was that the organizers were incredibly thoughtful and open.

Did Xuan Nhi encounter any difficulties during the direct collaboration with Trao Studio to create the Tiger Album?

Up to this point, having become one of the members contributing to the completeness of the Tiger Album, I haven't encountered any difficulties. The organizers were very thoughtful in their instructions and preparations for the singers. Additionally, during the recording process, from my perspective, everything went quite smoothly. What I felt most strongly was the dedication of the entire Tiger Album team, which inspired me to do my best. 

Could you share about your live recording process for the song 'Thuong Cop' in the Album? 

For me, before singing any piece, I always delve into the content and absorb the lyrics; from there, I form the emotions to express the piece. The song 'Thuong Cop' depicts the segment where Cop is cared for by the entire village after being burned by the farmer, so the emotional aspect carries a sense of pity, consolation, and a bit of hope for a bright future when Cop recovers. From that, I put myself in the position of an elder sister, one of those villagers, to sing the piece; then, to some extent, the emotions will be conveyed fully through the vocals. I apply this method to every piece I sing, and the results are quite good, so I will continue to follow these steps. Besides, during the recording process, I also received additional comments and feedback from Mr. Duc – the author of the Tiger Album; so the performance of the piece became even more complete, closer to the direction and what the organizers wanted to convey through this Album.

Now that the song 'Thuong Cop' in the Album has been completed, can Xuan Nhi share her views and perspectives on the works, as well as what the Tiger Album wants to convey to the audience? 

For me, the Tiger Album is an album that preserves, inherits, and develops. The reason is that the Tiger Album is both inspired by the fairy tale "Tri khon cua ta day" (My Intelligence) — a story that is too familiar to many generations of Vietnamese people—and continues this story with lines imbued with humanistic values; so for me, this Album is very special. All the musical materials in the album are well-structured and arranged reasonably to create the most complete and meticulous musical works. Regarding the content, the Album fully conveys the values of truth, goodness, and beauty in life, while highlighting the most core value: 'Wisdom is love, not deceit.' I find the Album suitable for all ages, especially children. I have many younger siblings and cousins in my family, so when the album is released, I will definitely encourage them to listen to the 7 works in the Album. 

It must also be acknowledged that, in today's context, the messages that the Tiger Album wants to convey are completely relevant, and this will be true for all generations, at all times. For me, the most core value in this life is always 'love.' From love, people have souls, eyes, and hearts open to life, from how we treat each other, to how we treat nature and the surrounding living environment. Loving each other is a wonderful and beautiful thing in life, and it's wonderful that this is fully conveyed through the 7 works of the Tiger Album, recreating a "Tri khon cua ta day" journey with a happy ending and leaving many life lessons. 

The Tiger Album, inspired by the story "Tri khon cua ta day" contains beautiful values.

Does Xuan Nhi have anything to say to the audience? 

I hope that everyone will welcome the Tiger Album and enjoy the 7 works in the album to both nurture the inner child within themselves and inspire the beautiful values of love and life through music. And I would like to express my gratitude to Trao Studio for trusting me and entrusting me with the work 'Thuong Cop'. 

Let's look forward to the Tiger Album! 

 

Thank you so much, Xuan Nhi.
