Rising pop star hopes to inspire fans

Vientiane music lovers will soon be treated to a taste of cutting edge pop performed by the characteristic new voice of the SD Studios recording company.

Ms Vanmany Phalakhone, known as Pou, showcased her brand new single Yom Poy Pai (Surrender to Let Him Go) at the Angkham Hotel last weekend to a rapturous response.

The 20-year-old solo songstress recently signed a contract with SD Studios and is now hard at work on finishing her first album.

“I'm happy to be given this opportunity to make a record since I spend all of my spare time practising my singing, and I have dreamt of being a popular singer since I was five years old. I'm so excited that my dream has come true,” she said.

Her first album, set for release at the beginning of next year, will take the same title as the new single and has a mixture of slow and fast tracks.

“In this initial album I contributed to the writing of six of the songs. I think they will appeal to listeners because I wrote them based on the true stories of my friends, mostly about love,” she said.

“The title track, Yom Poy Pai , describes a young woman who has her heart broken by a guy who takes another lover, and she has to let him go even though she still loves him,” she explained.

“We still have about 30 percent of the album to finish, mostly video shooting; we want to release the CD and VCD at the same time,” said the Director of SD Studios Inc, Mr Air Savan, adding that he hoped to complete the album towards the end of this year and spend several months on promotion .

“I'm not sure how well it will be accepted because it's my first album, and of course there will be difficulties, but I will do the best I can to use my voice to capture the listeners' hearts,” said Ms Vanmany.

The singer currently lives in Khualuang village, Sikhottabong district and studies business administration at the Inspire Centre of Higher Development in Beungkhayong village, Vientiane .
