Here you go, my first English Only album in Vietnam. About 1.5 year ago, Ha Anh Tuan called me and asked if I wanted to make an English Only album with him. I said ok but I told him that we needed a couple of Vietnamese tracks on there as well because I assumed that the Vietnamese wouldn’t like an album which has only English songs on it.

The idea of the album was to create a story of a bartender; A simple guy who works in a bar and meets female customers, falls in love, wants to party, his heart gets broken, etc. It is fun to write in a certain story because it gives you a clear guideline for writing the lyrics.

The album has been released on Christmas day and the responses to this album are great! It was a big risk but I am glad that people like it. This means that the Vietnamese audience is ready to accept English Only albums which opens some doors for the Vietnamese music industry.

I love the fact that Ha Anh Tuan used a cock on his album cover. He wanted to play around with the word cocktail because the bartender makes a lot of cocktails which have different flavors etc. He was very open to different music styles and what is funny is that all the colors and flavors stand for the different music styles on the album.

For me the cock is extra nice because the Early Risers logo is also a cock :)

When you have a chance, grab a cock-tail and enjoy the music!
