HCM CITY — Pop star Mỹ Tâm will virtually hold a concert series called “Unstaged Music Show: My Soul 1981” on the streaming platform NEThub in January.
The event will include six shows featuring Tâm’s popular pop songs which will be performed in an acoustic and lo-fi style.
Tâm, known as the Vietnamese Queen of Pop, said: “The first three shows will be held on January 7 and 16, and February 14, while the other shows will be announced later.”
“The show promises to bring audiences at home my best music and the feeling of being parts of a live music show,” Tâm said.
The singer will invite leading Vietnamese composers to join her show.
She added: “The first show will highlight music producer and composer Đức Trí, and his compositions such as Muộn Màng Là Từ Lúc (Late from the Beginning) and Nếu Như (If).”
Trí, a graduate in composing at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, worked with Tâm in her latest album called “Tâm 9” released in 2017.
The album, which includes 13 songs in pop soul, was released in late 2017 and sold 5,000 copies in the first hour of its release. It has sold more than 20,000 copies.
