Singer Nhu Quynh has just announced her art projects for 2025, starting with the music festival Lover and Homeland. Among the guest list, the presence of singer Ho Van Cuong has attracted much attention.

Nhu Quynh and Phi Nhung - Ho Van Cuong's adoptive mother were close colleagues. However, there was an unhappy incident between Phi Nhung and Ho Van Cuong before the singer passed away.

Talking about the decision to invite Ho Van Cuong, Nhu Quynh said: "I hope young artists have the opportunity to freely work, without being constrained or imposed. I also want young people to have space to develop and shine with their talents. As for the rest of life, I think Ho Van Cuong will know what he wants, what he does, what he thinks.

I just hope that in this playground, Cuong will shine and prove his talent. Cuong, please prove to the audience and fans that you are a talented and moral child."

As for Ho Van Cuong, the young male singer was surprised because he never thought he would have the honor of collaborating with Nhu Quynh. He was happy and excited because he could take this opportunity to learn a lot from his seniors and improve himself.

"I am willing to do things I have never done before with Ms. Nhu Quynh in this project. I will do anything Ms. Nhu Quynh asks for," he said.

When mentioned about the late artist Phi Nhung, Nhu Quynh emotionally said that she and Phi Nhung had known each other for quite a while but rarely expressed or interacted on social media.

"We understand each other, support each other and sympathize with each other's difficulties in our careers, but we don't discuss personal life or sensitive matters. That's why Nhu Quynh and Phi Nhung don't talk about each other's personal life, but in fact we confided in each other about many lives, worries about work and right now, I miss my friend.

I once wanted to collaborate with Phi Nhung to sing "Giác mơ canh co 2" but I haven't had time to do it yet. I always want music to be gentle and cute, please don't bring negativity into our relationships. Artists who are pressured will find it difficult to perform naturally, we just want to work in peace and live fully in the arms of the audience," the female singer confided.

In addition to Ho Van Cuong, the music night also features famous singers Huong Lan, Hoa Mi, Truong Vu, singers Quang Le, Hien Thuc, Ha Thanh Xuan, Bui Anh Tuan... MCs Trac Thuy Mieu and Cu Trong Xoay will take on the role of MCs.

This is the third year that singer Nhu Quynh has organized an art program in Vietnam. The singer of “Winter Lover” invested a lot of effort and passion with her team when selecting lyrical songs that audiences rarely hear to perform. She wants to limit singing familiar songs because she is afraid of following the same path as previous programs.

Not only solo performances, the concert also features special collaborations between guest artists through duets, trios, quartets, and choruses carefully prepared by singer Nhu Quynh. The guests will perform with singer Nhu Quynh completely new songs.

Nhu Quynh confided that she spent a year preparing for the concert, choosing suitable songs to create a harmonious whole. Musician Tung Chau also spent 6 months mixing and arranging each performance.

In addition, Nhu Quynh will release a new album , "Love you, I'm nothing left," which includes famous lyrical works she has never performed and new compositions written especially for her by authors. The female singer and her collaborators spent 3 years completing this album.

The music night Lover and Homeland will take place on the evening of January 4, 2025 at Hoa Binh Theater, Ho Chi Minh City.
