Jun Pham has always been known as a multi-talented artist. He started out as a member of the 365 band. However, after the band disbanded, Jun Pham has been active in many different entertainment fields, from acting in movies, participating in TV shows, and writing books. He still has music products, but they have not created a significant buzz.

After participating in Anh trai vu ngan cong gai , Jun Pham had many opportunities to prove his ability in the field. He showed his ability to perform well on stage, and could even write X-parts for his own performances. He also attracted a large number of new fans, ready to support their idol's activities.

Taking advantage of the heat that has not yet subsided from the show, Jun Pham decided to invest heavily in the single Son Thuy Khuc . The song possesses many ambitions in terms of composition and arrangement, showing the male singer's great passion in returning to music.

Using folk materials

In the program Anh trai vu ngan cong gai , Jun Pham participated in many performances that used folk elements, typically Chiec khan Pieu using Northwest materials, and Me yeu con with elements of Northern folk songs. These are all beloved songs because they are close to the country's culture, but also have new variations to suit modern tastes.

Grasping that trend, Jun Pham built the single Son Thuy Khuc on the very elements that helped him gain popularity in the program. The essence of Son Thuy Khuc is an EDM song with a familiar structure of verse - pre chorus - drop. However, Jun uses many folk details in both the arrangement and composition.

Jun Pham exploits many folk elements in the single Son Thuy Khuc .

In terms of sound, Jun Pham collaborated with producers APJ and Monotape on this single. Besides Monotape, who has a lot of experience, APJ is a new face introduced to the audience by SpaceSpeakers, who is both a rapper and a producer. Both of them put mainly the sounds of the zither in Son Thuy Khuc to bring an ancient color to the song. This detail is used regularly from the beginning to the end of the song, along with the sounds of bamboo flute and bamboo flute. In addition, Jun Pham also brought the typical singing style of Ca Tru into some segments, along with the pop singing style and rap segments throughout.

In terms of writing, Jun Pham and APJ exploited the story of Son Tinh - Thuy Tinh, but focused on the character Thuy Tinh. Jun shared: "I find the character Thuy Tinh very interesting. People often remember Thuy Tinh as a fierce person, but few people think about the pain and desire for love hidden inside that person."

Therefore, in Son Thuy Khuc , Jun exploited the element of sympathy for this character more. He focused on depicting Thuy Tinh's infatuation, pain and desire for love, instead of the image of a fierce god causing storms and floods. Moreover, Jun Pham rewrote a new ending for the story, when the two sides no longer continuously fought each other, and Thuy Tinh seemed to have learned to accept and knew how to "Put aside love" . APJ also contributed a rap verse, although short, but also left an impression when bringing in familiar images in the original story such as "Chín nga - vang - cua - hong mao" making the song more intimate.

Limited vocal range but has potential for songwriting

Up to now, Jun Pham has not been a singer highly appreciated for his voice. He is often remembered for his "multi-talented" image when participating in many different artistic fields. In music, the songs Jun Pham released are quite simple, not too complicated in terms of vocal production.

This also does not change much in Son Thuy Khuc . The most impressive part in terms of Jun's vocal performance is when he surprisingly performs the singing style of Ca Tru at the beginning of the song. The rest of the song is still a pop-oriented singing style. He also tries to choose a strong, hearty singing style to express the grandeur of a story with many mythological elements.

However, because Jun Pham's technique is not very good, and Jun Pham's voice is thin, lacking depth and thickness, his efforts to create space for the song have not achieved the desired effect. The song also does not have the flexibility that Jun Pham expected when every time he changes the way he sings in the song from cheerful to warm and passionate, it is awkward and creates a big difference.

Jun Pham's voice has not achieved the flexibility that the song needs.

Jun Pham also does not have a wide vocal range, so the high notes in his songs all feel suffocated and unable to escape. That further affects the "majesty" that he and the production team wanted to achieve.

In return, Jun Pham shows his potential in composing. Having the ability to write books, Jun is able to refine the words to make Son Thuy Khuc have a strong ancient and mythical color. The way the song is developed is simple, not new but suitable for EDM material.

Jun Pham and the production team had a clear direction and purpose when making the single Son Thuy Khuc . Bringing some folk and ancient materials to the song, although not new, is still commendable. However, if the team could balance the song's ambition and Jun Pham's performance ability, the song could be more complete.
