Thuy’s latest release narrates the painful and unfortunate side of womanhood that some experience. “Playing Tricks” comes with an accompanying music video that tells the story of a young mother-to-be who unexpectedly loses her child. Thuy shared her sentiments on the song’s themes in a statement: “Sometimes, your mind can play tricks on your heart and get in the way of something special, but this song is a reminder to believe in love and what’s real.”

The track’s YouTube page also shares a powerful message: ““playing tricks” highlights the story of a young woman and her journey as an expecting mother. touching on relationships, womanhood, and family, the short film shines a light on the painful journey a young couple must work through all while displaying the strength of women within the family dynamic.

Thuy and Rini connect for the Vietnamese and Filipino collaboration we all needed! “Trust” is a catchy R&B song that has last song syndrome written all over it. The music video casts cute couples, most notably Thuy’s parents, sharing their story with viewers.

Thuy took to YouTube to share a message about the song: “trust is something u build with another person. u spend time growing and learning each other, and somewhere along the way, the goal is to become two pieces of a greater whole. through the journey of love and relationship building, u find pieces of urself in others and the commonalities u share. “trust” is about finding yourself in another person. It’s about knowing their flaws, and helping them work through them with love because they are helping you do the same.”

About thuy:

The vibrant R&B artist of Vietnamese descent is determined to stand out in the world of pop music. She grew up surrounded by music and at the age of 9, knew she wanted to be a pop star.

After a few lacklustre years in the medical field followed by a chance visit to a studio, thuy finally saw what a professional career in music could look like.

Since then, the now Los Angeles-based artist has released several records showcasing her angelic vocals, skilful songwriting, and modern R&B stylings. Having amassed over 85 million global streams across her catalogue and garnered support from premier international publications including Billboard, Paper and Harper’s Bazaar, Thuy proves that her celestial voice and knack for earworm melodies are here to stay.
