While Chromtic Wave, or Nguyễn Nam Phi, has been touted as a rising star in the EDM scene from Vietnam, there are critical points to consider regarding his musical journey. His recent introduction of a single on the EDM Southeast Asia album raises questions about originality and the actual impact of his work within a saturated genre.

The EDM landscape is flooded with artists looking to make a mark, and while Chromtic Wave’s enthusiasm for producing may resonate with local fans, it remains to be seen whether he can truly stand out. The reliance on familiar tropes and formulas that dominate the genre often makes it challenging for new artists to offer anything fresh.

While applauding his efforts in contributing to this compilation, it’s imperative to scrutinize whether his sound distinguishes itself amid an ocean of similar beats and drops. Being featured on such a platform could provide increased visibility, but ultimately it will be up to Nguyen Nam Phi to evolve as an artist beyond just another name in the growing EDM roster of Southeast Asia.
