"The latest album from the Vietnamese pop artist is an empowering statement of purpose, at its best when pairing evocative storytelling with theatrical, large-scale production." Pitchfork compliments the 34-year-old artist for writing songs "replete with messages about finding joy in every moment" and hails her "slick" ability to maneuver between rapping and singing.

It incorporates grandiose instrumentation; racing synth melodies and trap drums; rattling percussion and pogoing electronics; breezy disco-funk and filler words "la la la" that appear throughout traditional folk songs.

This is the third Vietnamese album ever reviewed by Pitchfork , … [Read more...] about Vietnamese female pop star wows American online music publication

The US also required people who are preparing to apply for a visa to ask the authorities to add information … [Read more...] about Germany state conditions to accept Vietnam’s new passport
