My #MorningMusic choice, today 
#SaigonSoulRevival returns with their second album, "Mối Lương Duyên".
New York based DJ & producer, #Nickodemus, head-honcho behind Wonderwheel recordings and one of the most important leaders of the global fusion dance community since the mid-90s, delivers the first remix from Saigon Soul Revival’s second album. Spicing up the opening title “Ai Thật Lòng Yêu Ai“ with his electronic trademark sound that is often focused on the connective tissue of live collaborations and the electronic solitude of his record-filled studio, Nickodemus is putting his own twist on the sultry soul groove.
What is the song about ?
This very soulful album opener „ Ai Thật Lòng Yêu Ai“ tells the story of a man who is deeply in love has his heart betrayed when he discovers his sweetheart is with another. Confused and crushed by despair, the man swears to himself that he will never forget the pain she caused him that day. He wishes never to see her again, in this life or the next.
Once again featuring Nguyễn Thị Hải Phượng on #ĐànTranh (Vietnamese 16-stringed #zither)

#SaigonSoulRevival has been on a quest to reawaken the raw, enchanting sounds of #1960s and #70s #Vietnam; a time when passionate music resonated in #Saigon's streets and clubs with messages of love, heartache, hope and freedom. Amongst the turmoil of war, there was a rich cultural climate that fused popular genres of the day like rock, soul and bolero with Vietnamese music and lyrics. This fusion of sounds that bridged east and west became forbidden after the fall of Saigon in 1975 and almost vanished. Four decades later Saigon Soul Revival was born with the initial purpose of bringing these dormant sounds back to the stage. After numerous live performances over the last 3 years, the band has developed their own sound and now, with the release of their debut album “Họa Âm Xưa”, they are ready to share it with the rest of the world. The 11 track LP, including original compositions and nostalgic reinterpretations, blends traditional Vietnamese elements with modern concepts, featuring pre ‘75 and current artists, all while remaining firmly rooted in the “nhạc vàng” (golden music) of the time. Meaning “Old Harmonies”, Saigon Soul Revival is proud to present “Họa Âm Xưa” as a tribute to the artists and composers of the time that inspired them to create this marriage between past and present.
@PhoenixSerenity Really sounds like if Motown signed a Vietnamese act in the 70s.
