Hoang Dung recounts the period when 'no one listened to my music', and together with Den, he did something unprecedented

Not only is it a concert celebrating 10 years of pursuing art, Hoang Dung's Quay Tron concert taking place on the evening of August 2 at My Dinh Athletics Palace ( Hanoi ) made the audience "burst" with unprecedented performances in Vpop.

Most notably, the performance of One Day Somewhere – a new music product by Hoang Dung and Den – was recorded live on stage to make the official MV.

Den and Hoang Dung performed the song "Someday" and filmed the MV right on stage.

During the performance of One Day Somewhere, Hoang Dung suddenly led the audience to sing along to the chorus, then together with Den, they directly held the camera to record the stage atmosphere, the lights, the smiles and the bursting emotions of the fans. The two artists collaborated for the first time but were extremely compatible: Den Vau brought a delicate rap, while Hoang Dung led with a soulful, gentle but profound voice.

No need for a pre-built scene or a large filming crew, the MV for One Day is recorded in the most intimate way possible – from the artist’s own perspective. Den shared: “ As soon as Dung sent the demo, he felt very comfortable. Even though the time was quite tight, I still devoted all my mind to writing the rap part.” With an improvisational spirit and sincere emotions, this MV promises to be an unforgettable souvenir for both the artist and fans.

The Quay Tron Concert lasted more than 3 hours, divided into 4 distinct parts with more than 25 performances ranging from vibrant choreography, rap, Tiktok trends to romantic love songs typical of Hoang Dung.

Opening with Doi Muoi, the male singer surprised everyone when he wore a microphone for the first time, singing and dancing with the dance troupe. He performed songs from the album Xoay Tron such as La ban, Sao gio em moi den, Cuoi tuan… with stable performance and breakthrough spirit.

Hoang Dung admitted that this was the first time he performed with a microphone: "Three years ago, I never thought I would wear something like that and dance on stage. But the past time has helped me mature and dare to try new things. Thank you to the audience and the crew for giving me strength."

Another surprising highlight was the proposal right under the stage while Hoang Dung was singing Tach. The male singer stopped to send his blessings to the couple, making the atmosphere even more emotional.

Not only performing solo, Hoang Dung also continuously sang duets with guest artists such as Nan, Vu., Den - each with a different color, but all blending into the overall emotional concert.

With Vu., the two "owners of Vpop love songs" performed a unique "hit exchange". For the first time, the audience heard Hoang Dung and Vu. sing a duet of their famous love songs such as Doan ket moi, Nhung noi huo bo quen, Anh nho ra, Buoc qua mua co don and Nang tho. This is the combination that Vu. himself expressed his desire to "only want to sing with Dung, not sing alone".

In the middle of the concert, Hoang Dung recreated his musical journey from his early days singing at cafes and university stages to becoming a professional artist. He sat down, played the guitar and cajon drums and sang impromptu ballads with fans such as "Wait for me", "When I grow up", "Half a decade", "For a word"...

In particular, this part marked a warm moment when he invited a female fan to come on stage to sing a duet of the song "Em troi cay" and also invited singer-songwriter Kai Dinh, who was sitting in the audience, to come up and perform the song " Di dau de thay hoa bay".

In front of thousands of people, Hoang Dung choked up and shared: “ There was a time when I completely lost my way. After 2 competitions, I kept releasing music but no one listened. I didn’t know if I should continue. If I could meet Hoang Dung 2015 again, I would say: Don’t be afraid, don’t worry. Even if you don’t see the change right away, just believe, completely believe in what you’re doing.”

Hoang Dung closed the concert night with Champagne, Lean on me and listen to me sing, Feast of the senses, then unexpectedly returned in the encore with Keep me for yesterday. He bowed 90 degrees, even knelt down to thank the audience as a deep gratitude for his 10-year singing career.
