Background and release
editIn late 2016, Sơn Tùng M-TP ended his two-year contract with record label WePro Entertainment and formed his own company M-TP Entertainment.[4] On March 19, 2017, he announced the release of m-tp M-TP, the singer's first compilation album.[3] The album was only made on a USB flash drive in lieu of a traditional compact disc.[5] A limited one thousand copies of the album were sold at two signing events in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, respectively on April 1 and 3, 2017.[6][7] They sold out in an hour and a half at Ho Chi Minh signing and in a record-breaking thirty minutes at Hanoi event.[6][8] In April, the album topped Australian SBS Viceland's radio show SBS PopAsia half-yearly report polls for Best Album and Best Solo Release.[9][10] On August 22, the album version of "Remember Me" was released as a single, subtitled "SlimV 2017 Mix".[11]
Material and controversies
editm-tp M-TP features eighteen tracks, arranged in chronological order of their release dates from November 2011 to February 2017.[16][17] Six tracks were given a new electronic dance remix treatment, but four of them were accused of having taken other songs' instrumental including: "Em của ngày hôm qua" with the instrumental of EXID's "Every Night", "Anh sai rồi" with Tomohisa Yamashita's "Loveless", "Nắng ấm xa dần" with As One's "Monologue" and "Cơn mưa ngang qua" with Namolla Family's "Sarangi Mareul Deutjianha".[3][16][12][18][15] Sơn Tùng M-TP did confirm that he usually took random instrumental tracks on Internet while still an independent artist.[19] "Chắc ai đó sẽ về" was later accused of plagiarizing Korean musician Jung Yong-hwa's 2011 single "Because I Miss You".[20] Jung's representative dismissed the accusation but Vietnam's Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism still concluded that Sơn Tùng M-TP's song did get "influenced" by Jung's production, temporally banned it with parent movie Dandelion until a new mix was conducted.[21][20] Final version created by producer Hà Nguyễn was added onto the compilation.[22][16]
The remixes—except "Như ngày hôm qua" and "Remember Me"—were originally created for the M-TP Ambition tour late 2015.[23][16][14][13][24] Long Halo, who was then working as a prominent producer at WePro Entertainment and as the tour's music director, offered the idea.[13][24] Sơn Tùng M-TP was highly supportive of the proposal and re-recorded vocals for some of mixes.[13] SlimV, who was the musician's teammate on The Remix, along with Triple D, Khắc Hưng and Hiếu Viper took charges as the album's producers.[25][26][27][28] Absent from the compilation was the moderately-received 2013 single "Đừng về trễ".[16][29] It had also been accused of taking Gain's "Nostalgia" instrumental track, while its vocal performance has been compared to GD & TOP's 2010 song "Baby Good Night".[30][31]
