The name Jazzy Da Lam has been floating around many Vietnamese-related Web sites including this one. Her MP3s have created a nice buzz for her profile. Jazz fans have been waiting patiently to hear what this young pianist/singer/composer/writer who has been studying music in Germany has to offer. After two years in production, Da Lams debut Moon & You (Trang & Em), a collaboration with German musicians, is ready to introduce to Vietnamese audiences worldwide.
Moon & You embodied four tracks from her pen, and the remaining lyrics, including three English songs, were written by others, but all composed by Da Lam. Khuc Dem opens the album with a soothing Latin-jazz fusion. Her soft and clear vocals give the palette a calming color. The way she scats near the end is exhilarating. On the classical Vat Trang, Vincent Nguyens languorous arrangement sets off the mood by leading listeners into a nocturnal atmosphere. Da Lam voice then joins in and takes us into her magical world (Mot dem trang buoc xuong doi / ngam suong nha trang mai doi), while the orchestration (strings, flute, clarinet, contra bass, and piano) weaving in and out of her aspirate vocals as if sharing her thoughts and soul. Assisted by Ingolf Burkhardts silken trumpet, she curls her feathery voice effortlessly around the smooth jazz arrangement on Trang & Em.
Hay Ve Day is what Da Lam threw in to flirt with the young heads. The funk-pop production is spicy; her voice is spicier. Sex is everywhere: in the sax, in the voice and in the words. Listen to the way she croons the refrain, Hay ve day / an ai ta co nhau trong dam say / huong tinh yeu thom ngat bao dem lam em ngat ngay / dau nam thang xa cach cho tai te noi dang cay / hay quay ve day. She begs you to come back and make love to her. She has been waiting for way too long. Cant you smell the sweet scent of love? She is yearning for your touch. If that is not a booty call, then I dont know what is.

True to her name, which was given by her online friends, jazz and blues fit her style like hand in glove. On the soulful blues, Mau Dem, she floats heartfelt over the light brushwork and shimmering flute riffs. By fusing Vietnamese folk into jazz with her own elegant piano work, Da Lam gives an electrifying presentation on Vong Dem, creating a gorgeous image of a Vietnamese women with milky breasts rocking her baby to sleep (bo mi oi khep ngoan a oi / bau nguc thom huong sua oi a).
Da Lam not only impresses us with her composing, singing, and writing original music, but also strikes us with her ability to perform in English. Her accentuations are exotic on Life is and When I am With You, but her timbres are banal on the pop tunes. Although the record featured various styles, it doesnt feel disorienting thanks to Vincent Nguyens focused arrangements and orchestrations, and the night theme Da Lam has cleverly crafted. Yet, I still prefer a solid concentration of jazz and classic. Unlike many new musicians, Da Lam has tremendous potential and proper training in writing and performing, especially in jazz. Like many new singers, her voice is still a work in progress, noticeably her breath control. Nevertheless, her debut is still a sensation.
"...TAPETE aus Berlin schafft es mit seinem zweiten Album, seinen authentischen aus-dem-Leben-erzählten Stil mit den ihm eigenen und so noch nie im deutschsprachigen Rap dagewesenen Themen unter Mithilfe seines eigenen musikalischen Produktionsstils zu verfeinern und zu erweitern. Nach dem vor zwei Jahren erschienenem Album "Die Ewigkeit des Vergänglichen" und querelen mit einem "Talent-Newcomer-Förderungs-Plattenvertrags"-Deal sowie einer Menge Auftritte in Berlin und Umland, stellt Tapete sein Nachfolge Werk zur kostenlosen und unkommerziellen Verbreitung direkt im Netz zur Verfügung. Dem Produzenten, Texter, Sänger und Rapper gelingt es, sein eigenes Dienstleistungserschleicher-Rap Genre zu festigen und eingängig so wie inhaltlich schlüssig mit Erlebnissen über Schwarzfahrten und Schuldenfallen sowie Abhandlungen über die allgemeine Beziehung zum Geld greifbar zu machen. Die Texte sind in einer Art und Weise gleichzeitig ehrlich, verletzlich, doch souverän und auf den Punkt formuliert, aufrührerisch und zur Tat schreitend und animierend, ohne dabei lauthals rumbrüllen oder in platte Parolen abdriften zu müssen..."

Professionelles Premastering ist heutzutage ein entscheidender Faktor für den Erfolg einer Musikproduktion. Viele Mastering Studios sind für den "Musiker im Alleingang" jedoch kaum bezahlbar. Silver Sound hingegen gibt selbstfinanzierten Künstlern die Möglichkeit, Mastering kostengünstig und auf höchstem Niveau in Anspruch zu nehmen.
Hi Jazzy, hope you are doin' great and enjoying the warmer season after this almost endless winter. Those strings arrangments on your songs are some of the most beautiful things i've ever heard,they remind me of Lyle Mays works a bit,some little musical jewels and the compositions are great as well,i wish i could listen to some new tracks,hopefully even some new fresh material,am i asking too much? :D Thanx for sharing your beautiful music. Have a Great Sunday. Marcello
