Appearing at position No.15 in the top 25 best Asian albums of 2023, “ái” (love) of tlinh (real name Nguyen Thao Linh) is the only Vietnamese representative to be named by New Musical Express (NME). The debut album of female rapper Gen Z was described by a British music magazine “is a beautiful RnB record”.

Album “ái” of ​​tlinh is the only representative of Vietnam in the top 25 best Asian albums of 2023.

Emerging as a standout on the televised reality competition Rap Viet, tlinh first came to prominence in Vietnam’s music scene as an MC – but this year made her full-length debut with a record of gorgeous alt-R&B, ‘ái’.

An assured statement of artistic self-determination, ‘ái’ is already plenty head-turning on its own. As a singer, tlinh’s breathy voice evokes silk and satin. She takes us through a multi-angled exploration of that knotty thing called love and its different stations: hurt, healing, forgiveness, and more. She’s coy and carnal, too, especially on the playful ‘ghệ iu dấu của em ơi’ (‘My Dearest Boo’), NME wrote.

Ignoring the controversies, tlinh had an impressive debut album with a story filled with pink, wishes, and desires to love and be loved.

'ái' was released in September and includes 12 songs. The album made an impression as soon as it was released. There, tlinh shows every angle, from cute, sweet, dreamy, and weak to thorny and rebellious. Thereby, the album conveys the message of feminism from a different perspective than previous products, that not all feminism is strong. Women can do whatever they want and live as themselves.

The album has a mixture of many music genres such as hip-hop, R&B, Jamaica, reggae, and dancehall.

tlinh is the only Vietnamese artist appearing on this list. In the rankings, Get Up (New Jeans), Spunky! (Grrrl Gang), Unforgiven (Le Sserafim) holds the first three spots.
